Mark Steyn doesn’t live in DC and wouldn’t say that.
in DC?
Isn’t Steyn quoting someone else in that post?
I’m sure some did - the ones interviewed on Trump taking on the crime here seemed pleased with what he’s doing.
Yes. It’s someone’s X post.
All those testimonials seem to contradict the CBC and other foreign papers that claim crime rates have improved over the last few years.
“”””Crime prevention is not a true police function.”””
No. But criminal apprehension is. The cops are told to look the other way. The prosecutors ignore crime.
They aren’t doing anything to the criminals who are kids, and that needs to change-if there are no consequences to criminal behavior, the kid crime wave will not stop. That problem was referred to in the 1990’s song by Offspring-
“Hey man, you talking back to me?
Take him out-you gotta keep ‘em separated
Hey, man, you disrespecting me?
Take him out-you gotta keep ‘em separated
Hey, they don’t pay no mind,
If you’re under 18 you won’t be doing any time
Hey, come out and play”...
I’m sure that DC must have a juvenile detention facility-even tiny towns here have them. They need to incarcerate juvenile offenders, set fines/bail, make mom, dad or whomever is responsible for the brat pay till their wallet bursts into flames...
Trump and Jeanine Pirro have both addressed this.
Gosh, give them a little time, for goodness sake.
I’m not impatient, like some here-I’m sure AG Bondi called attention to the juvenile crime in her meeting with mayor Bowwow-she has dealt with that as AG in Florida. I’m just amazed that it is so out of hand in DC...
Naturally the Dems/media are in perfect lockstep with their talking point, which is that urban crime is at historic lows and Trump is inventing a fake crisis.
Excuse me! I (and to some extent Mark Steyn) was unclear. He qouted the idiot leftists’song, but gave it the title “music to get perforated by”.
The links would have made it clear, but this is the FR!
Sorry!
:-(
They vote for their misery!
District of Criminals!
Crime always “improves” when you curtail enforcement.
BTW, did you see where the DC Police Captain got sacked for falsifying the crime stats?
“Lie ‘til ya die.” It’s the leftist way.
“I wish these people would put their comments in writing and send them to the Mayor and DC City Council.”
It wouldn’t matter. They don’t care about the citizens — annoying little bugs on the windshield.. Their one and only focus is being in power.
Well, they have to get votes to stay in power.
I have felt that things are changing in the District, and eventually I think they will.
Democrats ruin every nice place they invade. You can list beautiful city after city in this country that they have ruined. Sometimes they ruin whole States. If anyone wants to resettle people, put the Democrats in the center of the places they’ve destroyed. They deserve to live there.
DC mayor & rest of demoncRATS are gnashing their teeth. They are so removed from reality. They live on this plane so far in the sky that reality is what they say it is. Ordinary every day people are finally getting their opinion across. Even the demoncRAT media has to report it.
