DC is safe? Maybe for Chuckie and his 'escorts', but not for everyone else...

The Federalist.com did an analysis of the crime rate in our Nation's Capital, and it's a hard read. Democrats insist Washington, D.C., doesn’t face a crime problem. On a podcast last week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D–NY, claimed, “I walk around all the time. I wake up early in the morning … And I feel perfectly safe.” He dismissed Republican concerns about safety as “full of it,” but, of course, Schumer doesn’t go anywhere without his security detail. In a similar vein, D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen called the federalization of law enforcement “unnecessary, unwarranted,” and the D.C. Council emphasized that crime rates are at “the lowest rates we’ve seen in 30 years.”
Even dickhead Joe Scarborough admitted that Democrats privately acknowledge the problem. On his show last week, he said Democrats had called him in recent days, saying, “Washington should have gotten involved years ago. This place is dangerous, it’s a mess, it’s a wreck.” Scarborough noted that those same Democrats then rush to Twitter to attack Republicans, denouncing federal intervention as “the worst outrage of all time.”
Those who have visited a CVS or Walgreens in D.C. can see the reality: Everything sits behind plexiglass. That isn’t surprising, since the city’s property crime rate runs 49 percent higher than the most crime-ridden state.
 

In the article, the Federalist does a great job of explaining why the 'reported' crime numbers are low, but the real numbers much higher.

  1. Every day the communists get away with claiming (FTA) "crime rates are at “the lowest rates we’ve seen in 30 years.” NO ONE is reporting that even if the claim is true, the actual crime rate in D C is still one of the highest in the nation.

  2. I used to live in DC. That was back in the early 90's. I still have friends who live there. Unfortunately, they are painfully liberal and think that crime actually does not exist in their city. They think that Mr. Trump is turning their city into a Nazi controlled town. God bless them.

    Sort of the same thing in Seattle. "Crime is down!" Yeah, no. Reporting crime is down because nothing is done about crimes when reported. Oh, we can go online and fill in a form, but that is usually the end of it.

Tidy up or pay the fiddler...

This house is about four blocks from my house, and, yes, it is a shithole. A Villager has been given one week to remove debris from his prop...
