That ANC is a clear and present threat to Ward 3. It’s a rouge’s gallery of Hamas supporters, socialists, and other malcontents.

They will be released with "clean and sealed" records. Got to love being a kid in DC! The world is your oyster! Thanks Charles Allen and all the bleeding hearts.

I have said from the start that the national guard needs to start setting up random checkpoints. This has become Columbastan.

I really think we need to start charging their parents. Why is a 9 year old roaming around at night without an adult or parent? Something has to give.

It was a lone man on an electric scooter, caught on video. Not even rifling through the cars, just destruction.

The city has been a literal war zone over the last month or so. And when I mean war zone I mean multiple shoot outs with Ak-47s

How is recalling Allen going to fix crime? Does simply removing him fix everything?

It will scare at least some of the council to recognize that they are next if crime doesn't improve. We're still not a year removed from Mendo lying under oath that DC does not have a crime crisis. Now at least they can't pretend like that.

This will be a decades long effort to actually clean this up, just like last time.

We are just weeks out from Mendelson nominating a murderer who served 27 years to the Sentencing Commission, despite his past, a DC judge speaking of his more recently lying and perjuring himself in court and despite him lacking any expertise. There is another representative on the Commission from The Sentencing Project, an activist group he is affiliated with. There is NO person on the Commission who represents the voice of victims, no victim advocate, family member, etc. Members of the Sentencing Commission also objected. It was briefly tabled due to blowback but Mendo will try to ram it through later. The USAO had asked them to send a different signal re: crime with the nomination, this is what Mendo did in response.

Pinto and Bonds objected before the vote was delayed. From comments from Robert White, Trayon, Allen and others it appears they will pass it when there is a bit less scrutiny. Imagine the reaction of the family of his victim to this man being elevated this way based on nothing but "lived experience." Other members of the Commission are judges, lawyers and academics.

Honestly, this seems like a teen boy prank with friends.

Repealing some of his laws and any future laws he might try to make would help a great deal. His approach is wrong, and we are living the consequences.
