Since DC is full of thieves, traitors, and reprobates, I’m having a hard time seeing the downside.
What about Freepers who just happen to reside in the metro? I don’t want any American attacked whether they are left or right.
The big problem is that ISIS will pick soft targets. That’s my biggest worry. They won’t go where there is security.
There are a lot of innocents, tourists and the like, who’d likely be injured. And despite the current crop of cockroaches that infest it, it houses a large number of national landmarks.
Pretty big downside, imo.
