The DC nobody talks about — and Trump finally did
Thank you, President Trump, for doing what should have been done long ago.
President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration — placing the D.C. police under federal control — cited a now-famous stat: Washington, D.C., has higher violent crime, murder, and robbery rates than all 50 states.
Yes, even higher than my home city of Los Angeles.
DC is bigger than the Mall, and outside the quaint Capitol Hill and Eastern Market townhouses, the city sings a much different tune.
The order also noted that the city’s homicide rate — 27.54 per 100,000 residents — surpasses that of Havana, Cuba, and Islamabad, Pakistan.
Left-wing media immediately scoffed. They downplayed the numbers, pointing to D.C.’s “declining violent crime” stats — conveniently reported right after city leaders reclassified crimes like felony assault and carjacking as non-violent offenses.
This is nonsense. He put national guard troops in D.C. areas where there is virtually no crime. On the Mall and nearby subway stations. They are just standing around. I have photos if anyone is interested. Posted by Bob not Jerry
