Crime is up everywhere.

Uniformed woke posters with blinders on who are enamored with progressive justice criminal policies and who show up to threads where other people, who see the statistics, and are alarmed at the year over increases in murders and violent crime are annoying.

No dude. Crime is not just up everywhere. It’s up because progressive politicians and das goaded by fear of their liberal constituents or by their own ignorance are passing laws that are so weak that criminals know they can get away with anything and get a slap on the wrist.

Can we please go back to respecting police and prosecuting criminals WHOEVER THEY MAY BE?

So if I point out that Miami FL has a Republican "tough on crime mayor" and still had a massive increase in crime, what then? Remember all those spring break mass shootings they had?

Louisiana has the nations largest prison (Angola) in a red state and all areas in that state are experiencing crime waves. That state has no qualms about chucking you into jail and are still going through it crime wise.

Instead of arresting them, we make excuses for why we can't arrest them. The police know who they are. The neighborhoods know who they are. But DC residents twist themselves into pretzels for why we can't arrest them.

All the sympathy is with the criminals; never with the victims.

Ultimately, the crime problem in DC comes down to DC voters. This is what we voted for. That woman with the multiple DUIs that killed three people? That was us. The police chief noting that the average murder suspect has eleven felonies and still walks free? That was us.

This is what we vote for. Until that changes, nothing changes.

So vote republican is your answer for solving crime?

Well, at least OP suggested an attempt to change. What are you suggesting? Any solution?

Restorative justice works, it just takes time. Instead of locking up black and brown kids because we all know you hate them and are scared of them just...existing, why not give them tools to succeed and not be painted as criminals because of their skin color.

Everyone makes mistakes, but you aren't looking to lock up the white and asian kids who do bad stuff are you, you're not painting an entire race as thugs are you because one white kid decides to shoot a school up. Black and brown people need our help, they're oppressed and all you want to do is make it worse for them.

Sometimes I'm so ashamed to be white.

As a black person, I am *fine* if we start locking up POC who commit crime. Kind of paternalistic if we're using the kid gloves on minorities don't you think? Why are we any different??
