Hope they find these criminal low-lifes, charge them with a federal crime and get them "involved" with the federal justice system -- not the ineffectual DC juvenile variety.

Kids tried to start car and could not so fled down 34th across Alabama Ave.
This is a natural progression I think. Just look at any other really violent area - South Africa for example. Carjackings lead to armed home invasions.

Oh right, no we don't. We just need Congress to stop dipping their toes into our city's policies and overriding things like... an anti gun bill, for instance.
You mean like this crime bill?
Congress overturns D.C. crime bill with President Biden's help
The Democratic-held Senate approved a GOP-led resolution that will overrule the liberal Washington, D.C., city council's rewrite of the criminal code for the nation's capital.
At issue in what was a sweeping but otherwise noncontroversial effort to overhaul D.C.'s criminal statutes are provisions to reduce the maximum penalties for crimes like armed carjacking from 40 years down to 24, which supporters argue is in line with the actual sentences handed down in court in recent years.
There was also objection to a provision to expanding the right to jury trials for certain criminal misdemeanor offenses, which critics say would overload a taxed D.C. court system and result in prosecutors dropping more cases.

That bill would have right sized sentencing guidelines which would have increased the efficency of the court system, so yes. Like that bill.
LOL. Even Mayor Bowser didn't want it.
You're delusional.
It would have caused even more armed carjacking and instead of increasing efficiency of the court system, it would have overwhelmed it.
