Some of us DO live in the suburbs but work in DC - we also deserve to not get carjacked.

Fockin hopeless. We are on progressive criminal justice reform train to disaster. Anyone who speaks out is shouted down by mobs of SJW types angry about disparate impact. Jesus fking Christ. I wish congress would step in. I am liberal. I am pro choice. I am pro-legalization, but this soft bigotry of low expectations and stupid focus on violence interruptors and the like over arresting.

Only 245 closed, that is a shocking number.

It's 930 only 4 days later. It's almost all by juveniles ages 12-19, most with gun, most of them DC residents.

Whelp, until we reform "youth reform" it will continue. Also, all the loopholes by which charges get dropped..post has covered this extensively.

Realistically, what future do these kids have, with teens spent committing violent crimes rather than attending school or learning a trade? How many are illiterate and chronically truant? What will the long-term consequences be for them and for the public? How many will be shot or killed at very young ages for being in the life?

This number is really ticking up. We may well hit 1,000 by the end of the year, the number of stolen cars is twice the number carjacked. And there are not statistics available for broken windows and stolen tires. Why are they not using bait cars, etc.? Detaining carjackers to deter others?

Remember this former ANC was redistricted so she could not challenge Charles Allen for W6 Council seat.

Here for 30 years and this is our plan. The situation just keeps getting worse and the crime and dysfunction from the voucher initiative is really impacting QOL. Had always planned to stay but think at this point we need to take care of ourselves and our own safety.

The best solution is to give your house to the DC government so they can allocate it to a deserving individual.

Make that 902 carjackings! This victim had 2 cars stolen in one day.

How about this? In addition to trying them as adults and throwing them in jail for a long time, how about we round up their absentee parents and throw them in jail too?

Good lord, is your sarcasm meter broken? There are always a handful of trolls in these threads ironically lampooning leftwing politicos and activists.

No, they are not making good faith arguments. They are being sarcastic.

YEP!

why would anyone chose to life in DC? I just dont get it. Expensive, expensive, and not safe.

the good news, is only fools can afford DC, so no crocodile tears for rich people when so many real problems exist.
