Washington D.C. Council votes to “reduce the maximum penalties for offenses such as burglaries, carjackings and robberies”

[Drop Dead Fred]

Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of the Washington Post, which just reported:

The D.C. Council on Tuesday voted to override Mayor Muriel E. Bowser’s (D) veto of a major overhaul of the city’s criminal code, which city lawmakers had unanimously approved in November despite concerns from court and law enforcement leaders.

The bill would, among other things, eliminate most mandatory minimum sentences, allow for jury trials in almost all misdemeanor cases, and reduce the maximum penalties for offenses such as burglaries, carjackings and robberies.

Every city gets exactly as much crime as it’s willing to tolerate. And apparently, the voters of Washington D.C. are willing to tolerate a lot of it.

D.C. is a great city to be a criminal

D.C. is a great city to be a criminal

Yup... it's pretty much the Mecca of the criminal class. Once it slides into everyday violence near the Capitol grounds, the DC scum will demand razor wire and troops patrolling the streets.

There's a reason that while I only live 60 miles away I've only been there three times.....Still better than Murdermore, MD.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This just follows other liberal cities who are doing the same thing. This is why you see such a rise in vigilanteism.

 

[BackAgain]

Well, come now.

When a person commits a robbery (larceny combined with force), does that really require punishment?

 

[BluesLegend]

Fine let these Dem shitholes destroy themselves.

 

[excalibur]

Equity!

This is what happens when black women take over a city,,,,,they turn the city into a lawless jungle by vote. It happened here in Detroit long ago and now its the murder capital. This racist law implies that Nexroes are inherently violent and the laws have to be changed to keep them out of jail.

Car Jacking is a FEDERAL OFFENSE,,,,a city cant overturn that

Most of them don't live there. They live in Virginia or other close areas so this doesn't bother them. Signs of the times of the 2nd Coming of Christ...

On a serious note, reducing maximums and punishment overall is a step in the right direction!

How do we know?

Because Norway took it to the extreme and found nothing but success.

And so how could America be so wrong, and then even go on to ignoring the outrageously poor results??

This was an easy slamdunk for proving the point.

But it will only earn me the title of 'retard', 'tard', whatever?

If blacks want better lives for themselves, why do they do this to themselves?

No surprise my far-left friends here on USMB refuse to address these facts.

Go figure!

But they have white Republican trespassers in solitary waiting trail FOR OVER 2 FUCKING YEARS

You get the gov't you deserve when you vote for these whackos. It's hard to see this ending well for anybody except the criminal element.

 

[BluesLegend]

Homicide up 238% under Biden. Robbery up 31%. You guessed it, Portland, OR a Dem run city after electing a progressive DA, defunding the police, and bail reform laws. Hundreds of officers quit or retired. Businesses are leaving the city and state. One was robbed 15 times in 18 months, no consequences for the criminals so they just kept robbing the place.

The Democratic city has one of the most deserted downtowns in the United States as soaring crime rates and homelessness are scaring away both locals and tourists. Over 700 homeless encampments.

Portland, OR folks, once voted the most livable city in the U.S.A. now a Dem run shithole.

Can anyone that voted for Biden please explain this logic to me? No joke. I’d like to see what your thoughts are.
