He also seems to enjoy blaming external factors rather than the perpetrators of crime. Whether it was him blaming the city for not cleaning up leaves quickly enough last fall, which basically left “an attractive nuisance” that poor unsuspecting teens couldn’t help but light on fire under cars.

Or when he voiced meekness about the stabbing at Potomac metro. He basically doubles down on clearly failing progressive criminal justice reform policies.

Like how are those violence interruptors doing? You know the ones that cost the city $9m?

The whole city is fked. Whether it’s a USAO who won’t prosecute or a city council who is so bleeding heart woke they can’t imagine imposing strict and swift punishment for crime. How’s that CVS up in NW? You know the one NPR profiled? How are we going to do after the $500million budget shortfall from the loss of property tax revenues? I mean we just sit idly by watching crime happen because everyone is too scared to offend anyone by arresting and prosecuting criminals. Oh, that’s right I’m sorry, the crime wave isn’t happening and I’m just regurgitating Fox News talking points. Don’t believe your eyes and ears. All is well. Charles Allen and the other council members are doing great.

I wish we could get Congress to implement a criminal control board.

Jeff, I know your political leanings based on reading this forum. No need to chastise me.

Yes, thank you!

For me, it was meaningful that the D.C. police union pointed their finger at Charles Allen:

I think we would love for Charles Allen to wake up, make a mea culpa and start taking crime seriously. I honestly hope he reads here and sees how unhappy his constituents are.

Yes, what an unbiased source.
