So you only like democracy when it produces policy outcomes you like. Got it.
I just want the violence to stop. And unfortunately our elected officials care more about criminals’ feelings than non-criminals’ safety. What do you propose?
We should all be terrified at what this summer is going to be like. Seriously considering a 3 month rental out of town.

Threads on this board for the past week have been saying that overstepping congress would be Veto'd.
There was a little more concern when some Senate Dems said they would also approve the bill passed by the house if it came to trying to override a veto.
I think everybody except DC saw the writing on the wall here.

+1 Exactly--thank you!!
Explain the correlation between an updated criminal code that goes into place in three years and tourist safety. I'm very curious
Does there need to be a correlation? The fact that the revisions would not take effect for several years does not make it any less stupid. If the DC Council wants to be treated like a serious institution, then they should act like one. Carjackings, street robberies, etc. are out of control around here.
Please explain how these changes would lead to more car jackings, street robberies, etc. And please read through this before you give the tired excuses about "lowering sentences"
