To those that support it…what is the end goal? It feels like you all want a utopia in which there’s no crime and homelessness, but at what cost? Do you want constant surveillance and police presence everywhere? And how is any of this actually going to solve the root causes (it’s not)?

The argument is that the municipal government has been negligent in controlling crime. A 19 year old DGE employee was mugged and beaten outside a government building recently. An intern was also shot. Is this what we should be satisfied with in the literal capitol of our country? DC should be held to the highest standard

The crime rate itself isn't my point. I don't think it's an overreaction for the capital of a world superpower, I think it's actually been too normalized

Ok we're not a superpower, we're just a country with immense cultural/military/financial influence internationally. The capitol city should be held to the highest standard

You had to use a dictionary. Lmao. Nah. You’re cooked. You realize you refuted your own point, right? Like, DC has failed its own people in keeping law and order and now has to resort to using the military to assist public enforcement Please go outside you chronically-online internet iPad child

People like you are fucking cancer to this country. If you hate being here so much, get the fuck out! We are THE global superpower regardless of what stupid self-hating children like you think. I’m sure there’s some weak socialist country out there that would love you, try Canada to start.
