No matter what those with their head in the sand (or another orifice) say, it is now officially as bad as the 90s.

In some ways, worse. Then crime was more localized and followed patterns and was focused on the drug trade. Now, far more random, in broad daylight, in front of witnesses, with LE nearby, none are a deterrent.

There is another hospital fugitive, too. Although, had he gotten to PIW, many violent offenders have walked out of there, too. Lucky Ward 3 and residents of Cathedral Commons.

This is such utter BS. Sure, crime in the 90s was "localized" if that "local area" was "everywhere that isn't Ward 3."

And the vast majority of homicides are still done by gang members and drug dealers against gang members and drug dealers. Nothing about the patterns has changed.

Not true when you’re at 200+ by October.

And violent crime discriminates against no one in this city in 2023. We’ve had multiple murders of random citizens on the metro this year.

Every stick up that has people on this board sprinting to their computer to say “just give them your wallet and phone” comes with the threat of murder.

Wake up and pull your head out.

2012: 88 homicides

What a great time in DC. We can get back to that.

You’re probably right, though. .

What do you believe happened as a result of her attack? I think you need to check your assumptions, PP.

CA shows signs of course correcting. How many years will DC continue with current policies?

This may well deter all who flock to CA for the immediately available $900 cash welfare and tolerance of open and widespread public drug scenes.

Will everyone instead come here for the tolerance for encampments and public drug use and lux housing vouchers given to those inhabitants? CA may well pay their bus fare.

Nothing really happened then, either.

Nobody will care and nothing will be done unless it’s a JKLM school. Or a private.Y’know, the schools with the children of Somebody or Someone.

Not likely to matter either and there has been violence around Deal and JR, although not shot windows, to my knowledge. Windows in very nearby apartment buildings have been shot out, Connecticut Heights is across the street from Murch. Nothing has been changed since that incident.

I wish Frumin would at least try to come up with some solutions to the crime problem. He just throws his hands up and says it is hard. No shit. This is what you signed up for, bud.

To Frumin, crime is a car sitting with its hazards on in a bike lane.

That is a crime that should also be vigorously prosecuted.

I would still send an email to her, Mendelson and 3 at large members. Otherwise the only voice they hear is from activists. The way that the Council is structured, wholesale change is not possible. Plus, moderates would have to run and be electable and not have the vote split so many ways that the incumbent gets in again. We can't wait that long. At least document your dissent.

Another Nadeau constituent. She absolutely does not care regardless of whether I register my dissent. She certainly won't take into account ANY complaint made by a white constituent, and I highly doubt she even listens to constituents of color, given how deeply she holds her ill-considered beliefs, which are turning Ward 1 into a disaster. She is a parody of a condescending white liberal social justice warrior. The only thing that is going to help DC is another Control Board takeover or ranked choice voting which enables us to vote more moderates into office.

We’re at 209 killings before October for the first time in more than 25 years.
