This is how the system is designed.

Yet there had to be a supreme court case and hoop after hoop for our household to have a legally registered firearm. I have zero issue with that. I do question the irony of where the city brings down the hammer of the law. Not on actual criminals.

But you can bet the entire weight of the justice system would’ve come down on your household if you possessed a gun illegally. Zero doubt about that. A UMC household with no criminal records charged with a ”gun crime”? They’ll make an example out of you. You’ll be in jail longer than J6’ers. The USAO will fall over itself trying to convict you.

Because Equity.

Please stop being divisive and stick to the thread topic.

The average murderer in DC has more than 11 felonies. Al these guys are well known to the police, prosecutors, and judges.

I give up.

I live a hundred yards from the DC border. I don't go downtown at all anymore if I can avoid it. It's not like I'm particularly sensitive, but on a Wednesday evening there are far better options than dealing with all the garbage in DC. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't bother with DC anymore.

Think it would be a tough place to run a restaurant or coffee shop today

If that is the case, why can’t I get a reservation on a decent night at any of the “in” restaurants. Somebody is going into downtown.

I agree it is hard if you run a business catering to the 9-5 crowd due to remote work. The hip places seem packed.

NP here. What is considered downtown?

In my case, Union Market, whatever the area on Mass Avenue near Union Station is now considered, where Jaleo is located (decided to just walk in and wait).

?? Jaleo is nowhere near Union Market??

Thanks for the geography lesson…these were locations I was trying to book a table to no avail…I get they are three different locations

Keep to the thread topic. Stop trying to derail.

Police officers getting shot and DC posters arguing over the availability of restaurant reservations.

These are the priories that got us here.

When someone posts that “neither they or anyone” goes downtown anymore because of crime…well that doesn’t seem to be true.

I don’t disagree with you, but perhaps those that live their lives exclusively in the suburbs and exurbs can leave the substantive discussions to the rest.

I’ll say it again here: USAO is trying to sandbag DC. There’s something weird happening in that office and none of the major media outlets want to get to the bottom of it.

Not sure that public safety is the #1 goal of all of the career prosecutors.

The metrics should be changed, right now they are dinged if they lose a trial which some claim is the reason they plead things down so dramatically.

1. Children need to learn the limits. It is fairly easy to teach when young. But they need to hear no a lot. If not, they learn bad behavior, which is harder to fix. Then they need actual punishments to learn consequences. If instead, they get justice circles, they won’t get the lesson and it will get worse. When they move on to dangerous crime, they need severe punishment. If they don’t get that, they are dangerous and unstoppable. We need to start at the beginning and start setting the limits again before it gets so out of control.

2. That building is for disabled people who can’t afford homes. Many are gunshot victims themselves. I’ve lived on the block for 20 years. It is a very interesting population. Most are very nice, but there are a lot of issues. MPD used to keep it in control but they just simply stopped trying two years ago and it has become terrifying.

It’s unbelievable how long this guy’s rap sheet is, yet he still was walking free with an illegal gun.
