Good luck with the barbed wire. After my Washington, D.C. Capitol Hill house was burglarized for the third time, I tried to get barbed wire added to my backyard fence, only to be told that it is against the law in Washington, D.C. because “somebody might get hurt.” In other words, the criminals’ rights not to get hurt breaking into my property were more important than my right to be secure in my home. I moved to Virginia and have never looked back. Our Nation’s Capitol is designed for and run by criminals.
I agree. And at some point I think you just have to say: well, let ‘em have it, hope they don’t kill each other too bad.
But taking that element and spreading it out into nice neighborhoods that are not as equipped to deal with it as the ghetto was just stupid.
