Crime is rampant - school trips don’t even want to go to DC.

Wasn’t an intern shot recently?

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.

What shelters are the moving them to? The ones I know about are full to the gills. Be specific.

Make it make sense!

Crime happened to me and my neighbors in upper NW.

You were hit by porch pirates? You saw Big Balls get beat up? Care to share?

I live in a building in Forest Hills. There has been violence on my floor and outside my building. Marijuana use is ubiquitous. My fellow senior citizen neighbors are regularly intimidated. It was not like this 10 years ago. I’m scared and tired of this, but have nowhere else to go. I hope this new effort helps, but I’m not optimistic. I’m glad you have a better life.

So we have senior citizens posting on a mommy forum? Highly unlikely.

No because I have kids in high school and it starts on 25th. We cant leave. Kids will learn what it is to live in a police state.

I’m excited for my kids to learn what it is to live in a safe city without fear of roving bands of teenage criminals.

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.

LOL, you keep telling yourself that. Trump specifically said to round up the homeless. Many of whom are simply down on their luck, others have severe mental issues that need treatment. None of that is happening here. the GOP has been cutting those services and programs since 1981.

I’m guessing you aren’t a minority and/or don’t know a lot of minority families. Because the district is about to get a whole lot less safe for them.
