    After over 180 homicides in DC alone last year, should we keep letting people commit violent crime or should something be done about the lawlessness? Criminals have no fear, they have freedom in a revolving door of a “justice system.”

      So if the Department Of Justice released stats that show that all crime is down, in fact the city is at a 30 year low in violent crime, you’d concede that this is a publicity stunt? Or maybe it’s a fascist attempt to control the police and our nation’s capitol. I guess we’ll find out…

      You honestly think 180 homicides in a city the size of D.C. calls for a federal takeover?

      Show us the society that has solved crime.

      What a pathetic take. Crime exists so authoritarian takeovers of our cities is justified?

      Hope you’re one of the first to die in the war.
