"Denise Krepp, another member of the Capitol Hill community and a former lawyer with the United States Maritime Administration, told TheDCNF earlier this month that the large spike in crime can be attributed to the fact that these crimes largely go unpunished.
She serves as a neighborhood commissioner and said she saw a huge uptick in violent crimes during the summer in Capitol Hill. But she said many criminals were given free passes by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which has jurisdiction over the city."
What is unsaid is that these crimes are committed by Negro youth. Capitol Hill is not too far away from some pretty bad neighborhoods. The youth are making incursions into the more upscale Capitol Hill neighborhood.
I would draw a 1,000 foot circle around the White House, and Congress, along with the memorial areas....and that’s as far as you should consider SAFE. I spent 3.5 years there....leaving in the summer of 2013. I even walked around the Anacosta area, and the east side of town...which are definitely no-go areas after dark.
For a six by six mile area....it’s thug-city, with these few federalized zones where cops are in abundance.
This is NEWs? Newspapers were reporting this fifty years ago about crime areas a block or two from the White House!
Why do you rob banks?
That’s where the money is!
A larger police presence would only cause more of these "Obama sons" to be shot, and cause more "Black Lives Matter" demonstrations which lead to more black crime, which cause (white) people to call for a larger police presence, causing more.. ad infinitum
A blue or black car? Why you give the color of the car? Of what possible relevance could that be? Do I need a sarcasm tag?
And "I" live in fear OF the capitol every day!
Why is Washington D.C. a city anyway? What it should be is a strict Capital, with Federal officers in charge of security.
More joy of living with negros.
In general, Americans are truly afraid of what goes on in DC, particularly in the Federal buildings.
Sorry to hear about the out-of-control muggings in the Dist. of Corruption. But I have my own problems—being mugged BY D.C.
Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm, Barack Hussein Obama.
Southeast DC was a real mess when I lived in the area. You did not even want to drive through it.
Doesn’t D.C. have strict gun control laws? That would be a large part of the problem.
