And yet…that means the felon lied for his own political expediency. Shocker. Evens around these parts just making up “facts.”

Your privilege is showing… drive through wards 7 & 8 and report back

Uh, I spend A LOT of time in Wards 7 and 8. Again, where are the slums? clearly YOU have not been to Congress Heights, Hillcrest, Deanwood, historic Anacostia, Ft. Dupont - seriosly, not slums and houses going for close to a million, and billions of investment coming in a st Elizabeths, Barry Farms, Bridge District, Minnesota Avenue and so on. I think you have NO idea what you are talking about. Does that mean there are not problems? Of course not, but the city you and the president are describing is not reality.

Your rebuttal to being told your privilege is showing is to cherry pick examples of areas where houses are selling for close to a million? What?

I live in Minnesota AVE, there fights and some gun shots sometimes, its safe.. no need for the National Guard to come. No need for a federal takeover..

I live in Shaw.

We hear of shootouts near 7th and O (drug activity and rival gangs) all the time and all of our neighbors stopped going to the playground at the Kennedy Rec Center.

The Shaw library branch has a group openly dealing drugs and other merchandise right in front of the doors. The library staff hates it but said they have no jurisdiction outside the doors. There are shootings every couple months right there. My kids and other kids go there, sometimes I think I'm crazy for allowing that, but I'm determined to live in a place where my kids can do the very innocent activity of getting books from their neighborhood library.

We all avoid the bus station at 7th and Florida, because there are always about a dozen people tweaking out, maybe from fentanyl.

There is absolutely a crime problem here and a feeling of lawlessness in DC (no consequences). That doesn't mean Trump has the right solution, but he has identified an issue. We aren't doing ourselves any favors by pretending it's not true.

I do not consider this safe at all.

Addiction is a medical condition. Those folks should be in rehab not prison.

If they can't afford to pay rent then where should they live.

I'm a christian so I feel they should be housed, and kept safe by society. But we don't live in a Christian nation.

He sure did. He loves threatening blue cities and states.

Martial law and a curfew would take care of most of these problems. I have lived in a country with martial law and ordinary crime was very low. You will have to ask yourself if that is an acceptable scenario for you and your family to live in.

Really? Martial law? God WTF! Let’s start in your county and see how you like that.
