DC needs to create more after school programs for teens.

Moreover, crime happens everywhere.

This is a result of decades of the US government instituting polices (according to history) that detrimentally affected African American communities.

Slavery (the US has not reconciled for its wrong), Jim Crow, redlining, chain gang, medical experimentation, government dropping crack into their communities, Gov't pushing welfare in the post 1960s, prison to pipeline policies, lack of proper funding in their schools, lead based water & paint.

I could go on.

This is a problem yes, but the larger issue is systemic.

The sad thing is just like good people in the community, good kids in schools also suffer. They are traumatized every day. They have no rights.

Kids who have serious behavioral issues, kids who are violent, should be funneled directly into programs to deal with it rather than having all of the disconnects.

They’re dumping violent kids into the schools on purpose, you know.

The good and decent people of Idaho and Montana don’t want your violent city criminal trash.

Better idea - fence off DC and let the criminals stay right where they are. You created them. YOU can deal with them.

LOL, yet despite DC trying to ban guns, your outside politicians override that and in effect arm criminals in DC.

And yet most places with a lot more guns than DC also have a lot less crime. Which proves that the problem isn’t guns at all.

Exactly. Lack of effective consequences certainly increases crime. What is the penalty for stealing a gun? Zip?

People carelessly allowing their guns to be stolen are a big part of the crime problem as well. You idiots think guns prevent crime, yet in some cases your gun makes you the target of crime.

Get it through your heads already: More guns DOES NOT mean less crime. On a per-capita basis, many of those rural areas with high rates of gun ownership have every bit as much and often more crime than DC does.

Liar.

These are glorified make work programs for returning felons. Your heart is in the right place, but this city is seeing an increase in crime. Can we get some real solutions? Maybe prosecute some people for once?
