Hate to break it to you not at all one or even of of just a few posters here. People don’t hate him or obsess, but have huge contempt for his incompetence and active harm to the QoL and lack of empathy for dead teens and others.

You don’t come back from contempt.

But why Charles Allen? What are the other council members doing? This seems like something produced, like, we'll get this rich white part of the city riled up and take it! So that the powerful people don't have to worry about our liberal political power here. IDK, it makes me suspicious, that Charles Allen, of all people, is to blame for carjackings and gun violence. I hate the crime too, but CA has some, not a lot, influence on what the city does about violence.

Because I can trace every single thing that’s running my children’s lives and prospects to him, starting with the no chase and ATVs.
Because he talks in a stilted manner and using words normal people don’t (say crime bish).
Because he doesn’t care about the people dying and suffering thanks to him.

Holy hell. You can't have cops chasing thru DC and I am pretty sure that's not a CA decision.

Should we just bulletproof out windows since we have to soundproof them already?

Bring full policing powers back and investigate Council corruption

No one has ever cared so much about DC politics, much less one council politician, Charles Allen, to make it so a topic such as this has multiple responses in under a minute. These responses are paid-for arguments, and I don't know who is paying, but I could guess.

People do now. They really despise you guys. Truly.

Ya'll are trolls who don't live here.

Ask Jeff to check if you are so sure. I personally don't believe anyone who actually lives here can care so little about what is happening with crime in this city and in this ward as you claim to.

It's not that I don't care, it's the fact that this crap is obviously motivated by something else. The focus on Charles Allen is your mistake, your flaw. I am not voting in anyone who isn't of this neighborhood, as CA is, raising young kids here, like many of us.

BUT I do not understand the people saying "what's he supposed to do?" He has vocally advocated for reductions in the very MDP investigating this horrible event, reduced sentencing for many of the very crimes people in Ward 6 are upset about, and argued in favor of unproven alternatives to more policing and stiffer penalties as ways to curb violence. You can't have it both ways. He's been vocal FOR YEARS on crime issues, pretty much all in the same direction, and then when we see awful crime on the Hill, you want to say "well what could he possibly have done, he's just a council member, blame the mayor."

Nope. If CA wants to make himself a major policymaker on criminal justice issues in DC when it allows him to cater to certain activist groups and placate certain constituents, he doesn't then get to pretend that he has no power at all over the issue when other constituents who are being directly impacted by violent crime call for him to take action. He also doesn't get to blame the mayor and the police chief for crimes in his ward without explaining exactly how they are to blame.

Otherwise it's just buck passing. Personally, I dislike Bowser but I think one of the primary causes of the current crime wave was prolonged school closures that left too many of our young people on their own for too long, leading to alarming criminality among very young people in the city. At least Bowser seemed invested in reopening schools sooner. Just as a for instance.

THIS EVENT HAPPENED IN HIS WARD. That's why he is being brought up on this thread. He's not being randomly singled out. We are his constituents and we are complaining about our council member's response to crime that is happening outside our homes. I'm not talking about other council members because (1) they don't represent my ward, and (2) this crime didn't happen in their wards.

And he chaired the committee that wrote the stupid crime bill that has blown up into a giant clusterf--k on a national stage over the last month. "CA has some, not a lot, of influence on what the city does about violence." Are you freaking kidding me?

I literally tbink you are a Fox News freakazoid.

I have literally lived in DC for 22 years, have a child enrolled in DCPS, I've never voted for a Republican for any elected office, I have worked on behalf of sexual assault victims for 30 years, and I don't even have cable but if I did, the last thing I'd watch is Fox News. Literally.

So, you sound like a good person who is blaming the wrong person. Time to get out?
