So what are the hours this helter skelter dazzle dazzle dipshittery occurring?

Sometimes I leave work after dark and trying to sort out end of day. Office is near White House.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:

*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

Sounds like a Federal problem to me...oh wait...

Agree. I live in DC with my kids. It isn’t a crime ridden hellhole as conservative media and Trump paint it. Friends live on the block where Big Balls was attacked. There is rarely crime there.

Big Balls...henceforth, I will be known only as Big Balls.

This is about rounding up criminals - not homeless. Who is spreading the lies about homeless people?

The Washington Post has reported that close to 120 FBI agents are beginning to be deployed for nightlong shifts to assist D.C. law enforcement in halting Washington-based carjackings and violent crime, two sources with knowledge of the situation told the outlet.

We know. MAGA hates democracy.

Wait - what "democracy" are you referring to here? Allowing criminals to run free and terrorize citizens? If that's your idea of democracy, no wonder you continue losing.

+1. Navy Yard sure looked fun again last night. cRiMe Is dOWn.

What happened?

The fact that you don't know indicates that you should not trust the news that you are consuming. Open Twitter and search on Navy Yard. Then search on Baltimore, an even worse story. Then search on Clarendon.

Well, since you are so well informed, why don't you update your audience here on DCUM on the news that you are referring to? It's a discussion forum. You can't demand that all participants in the discussion read twitter--or whatever else you think counts as a legitimate news source--before participating on this or any other thread.

Twitter isn't a news source, the individuals and organizations who post on Twitter are news sources. Twitter is just the best app for staying up to the minute on the topics I choose from the sources I choose. Anyway, the people who cover local DC news were all over the incident from last night, I haven't turned on the TV or radio yet but based on the lack of discussion here I'm guessing they aren't covering the story.

There was a shooting. A suspect was arrested. No injuries.

DP. There was also a mass shooting in Baltimore last night. One dead, five injured including a five-yr. old.

Well, maybe the MAGA/GOP should ban guns. Right?

Maybe they should call out Senator McCain for putting more guns on DC streets because he overrided the DC voters ballot initiative for increased gun control. GOO is 100% responsible for American gun crime.

Also, the irony that MAGA voters want guns to protect from tyranny and the felon is literally announcing tyranny tomorrow, but ya’ll have your guns locked up. So you don’t need them.

In the midst of your word salad rant, I noticed you used the word "tyranny". What, exactly, is tyrannical about moving homeless from the streets to shelters? Be specific.

If they can't afford to pay rent then where should they live.

I'm a christian so I feel they should be housed, and kept safe by society. But we don't live in a Christian nation.

So why is the fbi doing this and not some other agency? he called the military in LA and now in DC, the fbi at least not a military or is it?

Ah, thank you. Now for those of you refusing to check Twitter, do you feel well informed by that update or do you feel like you are missing something?

Lol I don’t go to Twitter for news.

DP. Neither do I - and yet, I am aware of the shootings that occurred last night. Why aren't you?

NP. What's your point, PP? What's so special about Baltimore? Mass shootings occur frequently in America. In both red and blue cities. Here's a compilation of mass shootings in the last 30 days or so that occurred in Red cities and/or states. Do you think the national guard should be deployed in all cities with mass shootings? Or just blue cities? Or just DC and Baltimore?

Red cities or states

7/12/25 Round Rock TX, 2 killed, 2 injured
7/13 Houston, TX 17 shot (2 kllled, 15 injured)
7/28 Reno, NV (4 killed, 3 injured)
8/1 Anaconda, MT 4 killed
8/3 Virginia Beach, VA 4 shot
8/9 Midland, TX 4 shot

Trespassing is a crime, yes

being on public space is not trespassing

Moving into a public space most certainly is.

So maybe society out to provide options so humans are not resorting to sleeping on the streets. If you don't understand that not everybody has the option of a roof over their heads, often for reasons not of their doing, then that shows a lack of comprehension and compassion.

just sayin'
