Thirteen people were murdered in the nation’s capital in the first five days of August. July saw 10 killings in its first five days. Homicide is up 22% this year in Washington compared to last year, and violent crime overall is up 37%.
This is unacceptable, or should be, in any U.S. city but is particularly so in the city that is seen as representative of the country. The Democratic Party’s experiment with alternatives to incarceration has been a disastrous failure, and unless it is abandoned soon, Congress might need to step in with tough policies needed to restore order to the city over which it has ultimate responsibility.
“Crime is out of control and getting worse by the day,” D.C. Councilman Trayon White said. “Kids and innocent people are getting killed. It’s becoming status quo with no end in sight.”
The cause of the crime spree is no mystery to district residents. Criminals are not punished for their crimes. D.C. resident Patrick O’Keefe, who has repeatedly complained to police about open-air drug dealing, loud music, and illegal parking in his neighborhood, explained, “They won’t even stop for a day, even with a dozen cops here, because they know nothing will happen to them. We’re not asking the police to come up with a miracle solution. They just need to enforce the laws as written.”
Starting with BIDEN / Pelosi / Schumer / Schiff / Nadler / AOC+3 !!!!!!
Plenty of them ( Democrats ) running Our Govt !!! Get them OUT NOW
Wrong – we are being attacked from multiple sides. George Soros has bought most of the DA elections in the dirtiest cities possible. He is getting them to let the criminals out to create this issue. Then with the media, and politicians, that are paid for by the Cabal- its look here no look here, wait we are charging Trump – no look at this fire next.
We are being bought sold and destroyed from within because people are NOT paying attention to the Evil – Demoncrpas agendas.
Return of Dodge City….except there is no Wyatt Earp.
Democrat Party is just like the British back in the Colonial Days !!!! OVER TAX & SPEND & OVER CONTROL !!!!
