Interesting. It’s time to get some popcorn.
Ehhh... He has a 25 pager on public safety. Has a few reasonable things in there but also a lot of vague handwavey things like "address systemic injustice as a root cause" - uh, like what specifically, and how exactly, Robert?
The specifics don’t matter. The point is that someone is directly challenging Bowser on crime. She’s had a free run so far. I’m curious if she’s able to credibly defend her record or if she will only keep blaming everyone but herself. Time to show some leadership.
Specifics DO matter. Otherwise he's no better than Bowser.
This. People are nuts if they think Robert White would be better on crime than Bowser. He is a lefty progressive in the mode of Allen, Nadeau, and Silverman. Crime would get WORSE, not better. Bowser does the best she can given our crazy council and their insane ideas such as raising the youth rehabilitation act age to 26.
Is Charles Allen a “lefty progressive”? I think not. He’s mostly just out for himself and knows the people of ward 6 won’t elect him out.
No one to the right of a lefty progressive goes on Twitter to eulogize criminals after they carjack a victim and also offer criminals moral cover like claiming carjackings are linked to the weather. That is a progressive initiative.

I am thoroughly against statehood. With that though, can someone explain to me who prosecutes what crimes in DC? I have heard a lot of "but the Feds" to explain our dismal prosecution rates. Who does what, for example crimes with guns?
The basics are that the US Attorney’s Office for DC prosecutes all felonies (and most misdemeanors) committed by adults. There is a section of USAO that prosecutes the crimes that in states are handled by local DAs offices, and these cases are prosecuted in DC Superior Court. USAO DC also has a section that handles federal criminal cases, the same types of cases that USAOs all over the country handle, and these cases are in US District Court. Crimes committed by juveniles that are handled in juvenile court are prosecuted the the DC Attorney General’s Office. There is a small group of crimes where kids between 16-18 can be charged as adults and those cases are handled by USAO DC.
TY. So it's basically DC (not the Feds) under-charging and under-prosecuting gun and other violent crimes (when the police can make a case, already difficult). If these crimes are prosecuted, our Council has set it up so that anyone under 26 (and let's face it, most crimes in the city are by this cohort) gets quite a lot of 'chances'. Our Council does not seem to care about the actual rehabilitation, halfway homes, or supervision/education/employment--just making sure these perps are adjudicated in line with current thinking about criminal behavior and brain development. So, our homegrown crime wave is our creation and ours to solve.

This is our city now. Shame on our elected officials.

How horrible. I actually walked by this after the carjacking - the police were there, and I heard the father screaming "my baby's in the car!" I actually thought he was getting arrested and was worried about a child in the car, because the police were kind of holding onto him. I realize now the child and mom were in the stolen car.
I hope all those people who are walking by while she screams at least called the cops? I can't imagine not stopping if I heard that. (And yes, I did stop when I heard the father screaming, but there were already multiple cop cars there at that time).

Having Robert White make noise about crime will not help the situation if the only things he think should be done are more of ineffective "violence interruptors" and after-school programs. Neither works. The juveniles who choose to carjack citizens at gunpoint are not doing it because they lack recreational opportunities. They are doing it because they have not been taught right from wrong and are not being held accountable in any meaningful, deterrent way for their actions.

Bowser is doing absolutely nothing, including not coming out strong against the Council's insane policies. Having Robert White make noise about crime can only help the situation.

Young people do not willingly turn to crime; they are forced to do so by systemic white racism.
I blame Trump.
I realize this is just trolling but you misunderstood the post. As in … there was a toddler in the car that was car jacked.
The person alleged to have done this probably was completely unaware of the toddler’s presence.
False. Watch the video. They were aware.

900 units in Woodley Park, 100 to be low income. The development on Western is on the grounds of a senior housing facility, not necessarily more senior housing. And more dense housing is planned for Tenley, all of the above will impact Deal and Wilson.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:It would be nice, if we the majority, could somehow have these people removed from office, declared mentally unfit to serve civilized society.

DC had a big drop in population in the past 2 years, I expect that to accelerate.
What impact will some of the housing policies have on Deal and Wilson which are already over capacity? https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/02/02/new-affordable-housing-hptf-ward-3/
It was one thing to tolerate DC crime before I was a parent and when DC was cheap to live in. Now, the calculus looks different. Then much crime was after dark, now carjackings by kids with guns can and does happen in broad daylight. My CVS store has lost a lot of staff, one manager had his jaw broken by robbers. The basic fabric of society is rended when safety and order are not prioritized.
I agree with the thrust of your points. However, I read the article and that was an affordable senior facility in Ward 3. City Ridge on the other hand will be a big problem for Deal and Wilson.
