Democrat Created And Encouraged Crime Is Out Of Control In Washington DC
Mayor Muriel Bowser’s tenure in Washington, DC, has encountered significant challenges, leading some to perceive her leadership as a spectacular disaster. The nation’s capital is currently grappling with a surge in carjackings and murders, prompting criticism directed at Bowser’s social justice reforms, particularly her stance on defunding the police. Many would say she has helped increase the crime rate by leaps and bounds.
It’s always so hard to find out that you live in a city where crime rates are rising. My question is : what avenues are the citizens of DC taking to change the rise in crime? Are we spending enough revenue on community centers for the youth in our city? Are we assisting schools?- Rebecca Ellertson
Despite any reluctance on Bowser’s part to publicly acknowledge the shortcomings of her progressive policies, residents and businesses in the city have experienced an unsettling transformation of larger areas into crime-ridden zones. A notable shift in her approach from advocating ‘defunding the police’ to now refunding them indicates the mounting pressure on her administration.

The question arises: why the need to refund the police? The repercussions of Bowser’s progressive policies have been stark, leading to the relocation of the NHL’s Capitals and NBA’s Wizards outside the city to neighboring Virginia due to escalating violent crime rates.
D.C. is set to close the year with a sobering distinction: One of few major American cities where violent crime is rising, especially when it comes to carjacking, which doubled this year in the District. More often than not, it's young people driving it. https://t.co/7ipj8AxRIa

Despite Bowser’s recent adoption of a supposedly tough-on-crime stance, criminals continue to operate with a sense of impunity, reminiscent of the audacious scenarios seen in the ‘Grand Theft Auto’ video game.
In a recent and alarming incident, thieves targeted the Chanel store in the 900 block of I Street NW, mere blocks from the White House. Metro Police reported a brazen smash-and-grab robbery, where the perpetrators made off with $250,000 worth of luxury handbags and other merchandise, echoing similar incidents in other struggling liberal cities such as San Francisco.
The situation reached a critical point last month when Bowser declared a public emergency in response to a surge in crime involving rogue children. This distressing trend of youth violence is not isolated to Washington, DC, as it mirrors issues faced by the neighboring city of Baltimore.

Critics argue that Bowser’s leadership may be one of the most significant failures the metro area has ever witnessed. The extent of the crisis is so pervasive that even lawmakers find themselves at risk.
Efforts to address the crisis have included a reconsideration of the city’s approach to law enforcement. Bowser’s decision to refund the police represents a recognition of the need for a more robust response to crime. However, the effectiveness of this shift remains to be seen, as criminals persist in their audacious acts despite the supposedly tougher stance.
Not once did this woman ever acknowledge the murder of an innocent victim who lost her/his life in Washington DC by a violent thug. This pro criminal liberal is consistently bringing up less important issues like traffic, never crime issues https://t.co/phqO32UU0y

While the city faces ongoing challenges, it is crucial to consider a comprehensive and balanced approach to public safety. Balancing social justice reforms with effective law enforcement strategies is essential to fostering a secure and thriving community for all residents. As Washington, DC, navigates these tumultuous times, the evaluation of leadership decisions becomes imperative for the well-being of the city and its inhabitants.

- WASHINGTON DC’s complete meltdown over Donald Trump, and how we aren’t buying their bullshit anymore and continue exposing their crimes every day has been hilarious to watch. It’s like finally meeting the Wizard in The Wizard of Oz, only the “Wizard” is just a buncha 90-IQ, pedophilic, degenerate Manchurian thieves. The most embarrassing city in the world lmao. – Jonathan

- How embarrassing that it’s happening in the nation’s capital- dmV
- They count crime different now. If 3 cars get broken in to in the same neighborhood it’s now 1 crime, not 3. So according to the stats you only have 1 victim and not 3. See, crime is down- Who Cares
- No one needs to fearmonger in DC. Read the crime stats. People are being shots and murdered. Residents, congressional reps are being carjacked in broad daylight. Businesses are being robbed, causing many to close. Questions about a candidate’s record should be raised- TheBarrasReport
- The big money group Opportunity D.C. began flooding D.C. mailboxes earlier this month with alarming messages about crime in the city, suggesting their approach to the 2024 election will continue previous fearmongering tactics. – Washington City Paper
- “A few cities, including Memphis and Washington DC, are still seeing increases in their murder rates, but they are outliers.” Virtually everywhere else in the country, crime rates are down, according to FBI data. – NBC News – what a joke – whole chains DO NOT even report crime now, citizens too when nothing can be done, when police take 2 hrs to respond, etc. So the FBI is faking their data as usual to help the Democrats. They don’t want to mention murder rates because the bodies MUST be dealt with so records are kept and the fakers at the FBI can’t fake those stats, neither can Democrats. – Mal Antoni
