But it's up in formerly safe neighborhoods like Woodley Park. The predators are migrating.

Come on. Since Jan. 1, there have been nine incidents of violent crime within 1,500 feet of 2800 Connecticut Ave. NW. That's up from seven incidents in the same 2016 span. So yes, it's "up." By two incidents. (Source: DC Crime Map)

Meanwhile, property crime is way down year-over-year for the same parameters, as is total crime.

"Formerly safe neighborhoods like Woodley Park" is perhaps the most ridiculous sentence ever posted on these boards, and that's saying something. You probably have a better chance of getting hit by lightning in Woodley Park than being the victim of a violent crime.

Three violent crimes in a month committed by some of DC's "finest youth" who are roaming to Woodley Park as their new hunting ground. I don't think that lightening has struck so frequently.

Um.. hearing gunshots is not the same as a violent crime being committed (have you ever lived in a real city?). And there was a purse snatching. And some kids vandalized McDonalds and CVS. What violent crimes are you talking about again?

Hopefully you are at least aware that more and more jurisdictions are adopting no pursuit rules on most offenses because police chases so often end with avoidable tragedies?

MPD and the criminal justice system in DC are both far from perfect and should be scrutinized but I doubt you have the first hand knowledge to contribute to such a discussion.

Not in DC, but close enough - in VA Jury cried over illegal immigrant woman's story and paid her fine themselves. This woman was a cleaning service employee and stole three rings including engagement ring from the client's house (white) and was given just a small fine as punishment that made her $5 richer. Because she is illegally in the country, pregnant and Mexican - all excuses lined up just right.
If she was white and a US citizen she would never vote - for example - for gun ownership rights again. That is today's liberal justice.

Bleeding hearts aren’t limited to liberals.
When I hear folks crying about the removal of Confederate statues and hear them whining about the “war against whites” and hear em wishing for a return to the good ol’ days when women and minorities and non-Christians “knew their place” that damn sure sounds like some bleeding hearts bullshit to me, only difference is that it’s emanating from a perspective on the opposite end of the subjective spectrum.

Of course, while Virginians are removing statues of old racists, the DC government is paying to erect a new statue of its own infamous racist (and convicted criminal), the late Mayor-for-Life. Only in DC....

+1 DC government is a joke run by unqualified clowns

Somebody sounds butthurt

What adult uses that kind of language?

What has Marion Bary done for the city other than turn DC Government into a dysfunctional mess? I remember the days when he told MPD to hire basically any black person off the streets regardless of record which proved disastrous for the city as most of those recruits turned out to be a bunch of problem children who either ended up in jail or fired. That's not even going into the fact that other basic city services were pretty much non functional under his administration.

Like I said, somebody sounds butthurt cause dudes who took up arms against the US government and waged war to ensure the enslavement of others aren’t getting paid homage to anymore.

“Well yeah, in hindsight what did they do other than divide the country and instigate the deaths of millions - but hey they were white so they deserve to be honored nonetheless.”

Ok if you say so I guess that makes sense to me

You make absolutely so sense. Have you been smoking some of the Mayor-for-Life's old crack stash?!

Anonymous wrote:There's no doubt a PC/race aspect, in fact a strong one. Democrats have been becoming very pro criminal, and they will do anything to lower instances of criminal acts committed by minorities. For example, if you look at the marijuana legalization done in DC, it was done in several steps. The only reason they decriminalized it wasn't because they were pro pot, it was because they were saying too many blacks were being arrested for pot offenses. When it was decrimalized, they decided to set the fine for it based upon what they felt blacks could afford. Then after that they legalized it, though you can only legally do it at home, and you can't buy it. I can smell people smoking pot all over columbia heights, and even downtown by metro center on occasion. very brazenly being done, because they know if there were arrests for it public, they'd say there's a racial disparity, and then they'd just make smoking pot in public legal so blacks don't bear the brunt of the arrests.
