What does this have to do with statehood?

The poor response to this situation on all levels does not broadcast to the rest of the country that DC is ready to be a state

Poor leadership is not an excuse to disenfranchise 700,000+ people.

They're not disenfranchised, they don't live in a US State, and so don't elect voting representatives to the United States. They can move. Canadians can't vote for a representative to the United States, either.

Canadians aren't living under the jurisdiction of the Senate.

Anyway, D.C. residents are subject to the laws created by the Senate and should be able to send representation to the Senate. They are disenfranchised.

I'm sorry if you were unaware when you moved there, but you can move to VA or MD.

Then be reabsorbed into VA or MD.

I'm a white male. Tell me about privilege. These pieces of sh*t will walk.

If you were black you might still be in jail for that crime.

Not if $30k was spent on an attorney. You might still be in jail for this crime if you couldn't afford an competent lawyer (public defenders).

Exactly and I am not a drug user, nor dealer now, nor was I one in the 90s, but was an attempt to distribute part of your charge? If so you were a drug dealer under the laws at the time and if you were a college student then you most likely were no longer a juvenile. In Va you would still be tried as a felon "If a person is caught holding more than half an ounce but fewer than five pounds of cannabis, they may be charged with a Class 5 felony under Virginia law"

Obviously, you broke the law, why should you not have to face consequences, plenty of non-white people have spent a lot of time in jail for such non-violent offenses, perhaps because they got caught more than once with a bit too much weed in their possession, you know because they are more likely to get stopped and searched because they weren't white. Yes the fact that you only have one conviction for such an offense on your record and that you didn't go to jail is probably in large part due to your privilege... so stop your whining already and grow up your sound very immature still. Perhaps your parents did you a bid disservice by bailing you out and preventing you from feeling the full ramifications of your criminal misconduct. Your post screams of privilege and entitlement.

You are an idiot.

Yeah, lets incarcerate someone with great promise for a nonviolent, victimless crime. And lets set free people that have committed multiple violent crimes, including one murder.

I hope your wife gets raped by a cousin of these girls.

A homicide suspect escaped custody in Northwest D.C. Friday evening, police said. He has been apprehended, police said early Saturday morning.

Aaron Adgerson, 17, was last seen about 6:45 p.m. at the Psychiatric Institute of Washington in the 4200 block of Wisconsin Avenue NW, where he was being held pending trial.

Police haven't described when, where or how he was caught.

Adgerson stands 5-feet-4-inches tall and weighs 122 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and a light brown complexion. He was wearing blue scrubs, a light gray jacket and a pair of slip on shoes.
