Even though it sounds extreme on surface, it would be significantly beneficial for the district.

So you’re advocating using the Israeli attack as a reason to strip Americans of their constitutional rights?

+1. Most DC residents are quietly traumatized by the unrelenting crazy levels of crime. It is truly its own form of terrorism when you don't know whether you'll be carjacked next.


Yes after j6 very true.

Do you have a link re: this?

I see it as an opportunity to recruit disaffected youth for the military.

Fair, but our council and mayor may feel some interest in stuff that might actually impact them.

Well, that's my thought. Deal with it all, at once.

That seems pretty arbitrary.

MPD could use some help, a boost of resources. But my worry would be that the opportunity would end up getting squandered.

Short answer: No, there cannot.

Longer answer: Why is it a given that our threat levels just went up? Do we have an essentially unguarded land border with territory controlled by Hamas?


Hamas has issued threatening statements against allies of Israel. In my mind, a threatening statement is a threat.



Hamas said they would target Americans if America intervened militarily. We are already sending weaponry


Sure. We have an actual threat from RWNJs. Hamas is not a threat to the US or Washington DC. The people who support Jim Jordan and the J6’ers are much more likely to unleash terrorism in the US. Remember there were two bombs placed in the city on J5.


That doesn't change my mind about the spike in criminal activity making us more vulnerable to terrorism. The DC police were needed on J5.


Ask the secret service or the 6 other agencies that man the fortified federal area. They have over 20,000 security personnel.


Yet J6 happened in spite of supposedly being fortified with 20,000 security personnel. What else could happen. And what's being done to fix things so that we don't have another serious security issue like J6?
