What a heart-wrenching story. Certainly true.

But if the public wants to have an honest conversation about crime in D.C., the MPD will first have to be honest about how prevalent crime is.

Unfortunately that will only happen when Hell freezes over.

A female friend had her purse and computer stolen from her car by a group of youths, while she stood by and watched. She was less than a mile from the White House

The DC police didn’t even ask about details. They couldn’t have cared less

It certainly wasn’t recorded in any statistics

I wouldn’t bother trying to believe Government unemployed and crime figures. It’s just crap garbage. The little old ladies who couldn’t think of five things they did last. Not even cashing a government paycheck came up.

That’s not just a DC thing. In a big Democrat-run city near me, the police have publicly announced that they will no longer respond to minor crimes.

What you described there is a “minor crime”. If that happened in the city near me, the police would not respond. You would just be given a report number over the phone.

No way are things going to improve there, ever.

I have shared my story. Will anyone hear it and respond?

And yet the TDSers trumpet, "No problemo here!" (or any other city they control) /s

When government fails in its duties, We the People may take the law BACK into our own hands.

Why anyone would live amongst those animals and not carry a weapon is beyond me.

I saw her give that information on NewsNation. Amazing they thought they could get away with it.

I want the news media people like Jessica Tarlov punished for bragging about the decline in crime.

It sounds like the DC PTB did get away with it for a long time and would be continuing to get away with it if Trump had not won the 2024 election.

Just imagine a violent homeless person being immediately let out after a violent sexual assault, probably on his own recognizance, being arrested five more times, every time being let out on the streets, until he was finally tried, convicted and sent to jail.

It is probably a big lie that the DC Judicial and/or DOJ people were not working on finding and convicting J Sixers, most of whom walked through already open doors, staying between the velvet tourist ropes of the Rotunda and then peacefully walked out of the Capitol.

Just heard a caller on the Chris Plante radio show who lives in DC and is glad for Trump’s anti-crime work.

He was physically assaulted by a group of black teens, as he said unprovoked in any way. Police told him not to bother with going to court and having them do much (but they located one of the juveniles for him). They warned the victim not to try to go get them himself but to just forget about it. They said almost no one who goes through court in such a case as his assault so don’t bother with it.
Cops said another white man had been surrounded and beaten previously by that same offender.
Caller said: The victims have no justice and future innocent people are going to be assaulted or killed because the system just lets them go.

“ Just heard a caller on the Chris Plante radio show who lives in DC and is glad for Trump’s anti-crime work”

I used to listen to Chris Plante on the radio when I lived in an adjacent county to DC. He was so conservative and outspoken. He was also funny. I wondered how he kept his position on the radio. He and his wife ( formerly “best girl”). used to walk around and check out demonstrations, etc. after which he could give first hand reports. I wonder if he still does that. He’s a little older and the city is now more dangerous.

He used to joke about NPR having 30 people on the staff of a single show when he had, IIRC, 2. I’m sure he is happy about no more tax money going to fund NPR.

I have watched Chris Plante’s show on Newsmax and he is good but nothing like he was on the radio. Plus, they always have a lefty who I do not need to hear from. I think the token Dems know they’re lying at least half the time especially these days trying to defend the Dems ridiculous policies. The pay must be really good.

I agree, Plante’s show is not that great. Jason Nichols ... we HATE that guy ... the usual token lefty.

It’s a personal thing with me, but the style of Plante’s speech pattern irritates me. He says a partial sentence, then does a little gasp, then continues. Hubby doesn’t notice it but it annoys me.

Like Rush also has nicknames like the Rev. Al Charlatan.
He’s on NewsNation on TV and some radio stations plus Apple Podcasts.

He served for over 23 years in the US Air Force, flying the A-10 Warthog as a weapons officer, director of operations, and commander in various fighter squadrons. Was deployed in Bosnia and Saudi Arabia.

So the leftists could say “crime is down” “fewer robberies.”
