Notable Democrat that thought Charles Allen crime bill was a bad idea.
I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings. If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I’ll sign it.

DC firefighter says DC911 didn't answer after he was robbed and shot near his Capitol Hill home over the weekend. Gary "Zeek" Dzekian called his own firehouse to get help. https://t.co/ooTzzcb7rS

Wow. For the second time, Congress has issued a bipartisan REBUKE of the @councilofdc’s criminal justice agenda. An embarrassing outcome after Councilmembers supposedly lobbied congressional offices for the past few weeks.

Real talk: Democrats should just admit that some politicians have been way too lenient in releasing dangerous criminals from prison these last few years. Just a few of the crimes committed by people they let out early: - Violent assault - Sexual assault of a child -

Hopefully DC media can find out the prior charges and if @DCAttorneyGen did anything to hold them accountable. "police were able to identify the teen suspects as 17-year-old Kelvin Thomas Jr. and 17-year-old Jailen Lucas, who have been charged with violent crimes before."
Two teens accused of fatally shooting a congressional intern appeared in court Saturday and are being held without bond.

The Abundance crowd has no solution for this. You can have nice public transport but people won’t ride on it if insane mentally ill people will murder you on it for no reason. This is why we need to combine Abundance with Lee Kuan Yew Thought: extremely harsh penalties for

Never elect a person who says a city “Can’t arrest & prosecute its way out of crime.” That person doesn’t give a damn about crime.
BREAKING - In a statement on the Charlotte light rail incident, Democrat Mayor Vi Lyles insists the city cannot “arrest our way out of issues” like this, failing to mention the victim, Iryna Zarutska, even once and showing more concern for the perpetrator’s homeless status.

There is not a single solitary bum in or around Union Station. I have never seen this in my life. Extraordinary what can be accomplished with supposedly intractable problems if you just ditch the idiocy.

We literally had Uber drivers driving around with Kevlar shields in their cars to protect themselves from violent criminals. The @councilofdc called it “not a crime crisis.” Now that crime is finally dropping, they’re angry about it. You can’t make this up.

How can anyone be angry about this?

D.C. Mayor Bowser: We "greatly appreciate" the surge. "The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings" in the city, she says, adding that "neighborhoods feel safer and are safer" because of it.

@DCAttorneyGen If your policies are “data-driven,” then the data shows failure—repeat offenders cycling through (incl. the kids who carjacked my husband) while victims are ignored and disregarded. DC families and businesses deserve accountability, not ideological excuses dressed up as stats.

NBC highlights my carjacking in DC - and how a federal judge let the perpetrators free to go out and murder a 17 year-old - in a feature on the carjacking pandemic. No thanks to @charlesallen, who is part of the crime problem.
nbcnews.com
Over the past 18 months, the number of carjackings has dropped sharply in the Washington area. But it still remains far above pre-pandemic levels.

Fact Check - Does DC Councilmember @charlesallen write letters to judges chastising them for not supporting early release of convicted rapists? Answer - Yes.

UPDATE: The man in this video is an illegal immigrant from Mexico with previous arrests in Fairfax County, Virginia for ‘aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13,’ per DHS. 🚨
BREAKING: Just saw DC Police + federal agents detain a man on the National Mall. He appeared to try to escape, then was quickly tackled to the ground by several agents + was screaming in Spanish “please, I’m not a criminal, I work here, I want to be with my family” @nbcwashington
