Democrats are still in denial about Washington, DC’s crime problem, and decrying President Donald Trump’s intervention — but it’s time they face reality.
Over the last 12 days, as Trump federalized the DC police force and deployed federal officers on district streets, the city’s shockingly high murder rate screeched to a halt.
No homicides were recorded at all in that time frame, a sharp, statistically significant drop that’s far too large to dismiss as mere chance. . . .
Statistically, compared to the homicide rate during the first seven months of this year, the odds of that happening by chance are just 0.37%, or 1 in 272.
Compared to 2024 — when the district recorded 187 homicides, or nearly one every other day — the odds shrink to 0.21%, or 1 in 478.
Few gamblers would take those odds in a bet.
Of course, these calculations rely on the district’s reported homicide numbers — which may be artificially low. . . .

I hate Haters! Oh...wait.
A National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform analysis of DC homicides between 2019 and 2021 found that about 96% of victims were black.
Black residents suffer disproportionately in other crime categories as well, and they’re hurt by the corollary effects of high crime as businesses shut down, jobs disappear, stores close their doors and property values take a hit.
Good points and it’s so obvious a large contingent of
Blacks in the are are thrilled to be living a decent
life for the time being.
This situation is backfiring on the party of Race Bait.
“Obama appointed district judge orders murders to resume”
Like the Jooz who support Hamas.
Yes, this.
Could it be that the Dems consider their D. C. constituents as mere chattel, Black Lives included? Opinions invited.
How are the stupid old hippie protesters taking this news?
Yeah, that one has baffled me for some time.
I think they’re doing their best to turn that 19.00% approval
rating into 1.90%.
Think Amy Biel and her family.
I wouldn’t put it past the Dems to order up some murders in DC just to deny Trump credit for reducing homicides, or allow the absence of slaughter to become the new normal.
Are they really thrilled, or does their hatred of Trump and the police exceed their love of life?
“Like the Jooz who support Hamas.”
...and the Jews who vote for the Democrats. It is like they have a suicide wish. I have never fully understood it.
Citing “statistics” from a couple weeks where DC has been effectively under Martial Law is mendacious from Lott.
Now let’s reclaim Detroit MI for its decent honest citizens, black and white. If we can restore Detroit as a shining and successful industrial town again we will have really done something. It means we can do it for all large and decayed cities. It means we can do it for of America everywhere.
Yeah, just wait until they start running out of coke.
