It is hard for me to believe DC wants more crime. I grew up in SE Washington, went to Anacostia High School, but would be hesitant to go and see my old home.

Only the guilty need to avoid showing their faces outside in DC now.

Unpaid child support, unpaid alimony, outstanding bench warrants, crimes with “no suspects” that they committed.

Thus, the streets are vacant.

In the early summer of 2020, at the height of the lockdowns, the Democrat Party sent thousands of thugs onto the streets to terrorize American cities.

The lockdowns, the riots, the 2020 election. The whole thing stinks.

The only time I found my Chicago grammar school in the news was about a murder in the playground where I used to play in the sandbox and on the jungle gym. I didn’t make the 50th anniversary trip but I hear the bus of students had a police escort.

“””GTF outta here. The guy was a grade A POS who stuck a load of Fentanyl up his ass and OD’d.”””

It’s called hooping. He told the cops he had been doing it. It is very deadly.

I wonder if this experience will lead the black residents in DC to think about voting for a Republican.

Nah.........................

"Why Washington Residents Aren’t Flooding the Streets to Protest Trump"

Because they support what he's doing even if they won't admit it.

Because they’re scared the masked Sturmabteilung will beat the living shit out of them.

“Some cited the season: “The only thing I can think of is, it’s August and people are away,” said George Conway, a strident Trump critic...”

Hey, Stupid, the folks who are suffering from crime are not the ones who can AFFROD a vacation!

No more deficit spending from USAID to prop them up, I guess.

...a strident Trump critic...

His only claim to fame and raison d'être.

The residents of the high crime districts I’ve seen interviewed seem to be quite happy with Trump’s decision.

Maybe a lot of the protesters were homeless paid by the democrats.

Gosh ever since exposures and crackdowns reduced BLM and ANtifa funds, and USAID and numerous community organizing charities, there are fewer protests. WHAT could it be? Why are the protests dying out??? *pausing to page Captain Obvious*
