Leftists are getting robbed to and they are changing their tune. Funny how that happens.
This clown says the Council may not act this year because we’re bumping up against the “holidays”. Is he out of his mind? Get your a** back in the Wilson Building and fix this mess.

You hit the tenor of the interview about correct. If you were not in the know you would have thought that this was a right wing "Fox" radio interview.
Nope, just another vast right-wing conspiracy.

Have pity for them. They need the coats more than you do. These poor people don’t have access to any help.
They really should have a program for that!
The Council’s Coddle Criminals Caucus has their Hug a Thug program.

Yeah, sure! Blame poors for the acts of lawless.
It's not the poor either. These are crimes of opportunity.
I think they are driving around looking for victims. They are not just driving down Nebraska Ave and think "hey, there is a Canada Goose. Great thing I have this pistol I. This stolen car"
These people are looking for victims.
+1 Gives them an adrenalin rush, and they have very little in the way of a conscience or empathy for others. On top of that, they know there won't be real consequences, and they get a lot od approval and attrntion via social media. It's tragic that they are growing up this way. The types of men who previously provided guidance as school principals and ministers aren't particularly visible any more.
This is why I wish church/temple etc -any faith, not fundamentalist--was still a prevalent thing. Kids are being raised by social media, in urban settings AND in the mid west. Seems like between this stuff and school shootings, we have a generation of sociopaths seeking some kind of sensation and belonging, even if its completely antisocial. Id prefer some influence from community structures, and church used to play a role in bringing people together and providing some guidance to the youngers.
PP here. I agree. I've worked with some amazing principals over the years who also provided wonderful guidance and appropriate consequences that did not strip self-esteem but involved extra study halls, mentoring, and cleanup details at school.

Pretty sure that the group named "Guardian Angels" came here from NYC at the worst of the crime wave in the 1990s. I remember seeing them in the subway. I think I remember crime dropping after they began patrolling crime hot spots in D.C.

This sounds a bit too much like “what is the rationale behind a young woman in her teens and early 20s walking around wearing tight skirts and low-cut tops and heels? Especially after they were told that are at risk of being raped so they should stop wearing them….”
Maaaybe just maaaaaybe the responsibility of not being ROBBED should not be placed onto the VICTIM of the robbery.
dp.. to be sure, but given what is happening, don't you think people should be more wary now a days?
Would you walk down a dark alley in a sketchy part of town in the middle of the night? I get that you don't think DC is "a sketchy alleyway", but I think the point is that it's becoming that way.
Between this and carjackings of nice cars, "you can't always [wear/drive] what you want".. that's the message our city leaders are telling us.
I get it but what are we going to say to the dog owners? Put your frenchie in a disguise? Teach them to use a litterbox? Dogs aren't accessories that we can just decide not to wear.

They've found the weak spot in the system and are exploiting it.
