    In THE political town, you can manufacture whatever narrative you want and find select groups to support that narrative. I can tell you that I know A LOT of people that are happier in DC. We’re planning a day at the zoo and museums next week, and Karla and I are going to a show.

    The people that I personally know that are bitching about it? All live in gated townhome and apartment communities in Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Bethesda….

      Yeah but do the gates have machine guns on top?

        In October my next work trip might let me visit the zoo and some museums as well, and I'm looking forward not getting mugged unlike the zero times I was mugged when I used to visit DC weekly while running, or at the zoo, or at a museum or walking around the Capitol, or walking to the Nats games, or coming out of the bars, or leaving the Caps game, or taking photos at night. I look forward to the stream of zero assaults continuing, thanks to the military and their tanks!

          Oh totally. My point is Trump's use of the military, humvees, machine gunes, and MRAPs... a little late to the party. The trend started like 2 years ago for most places, including DC.

          It's all about the messaging. Criminals need to be much more afraid of getting caught and punished.

            Agreed, personally I'm looking forward to the gallows making a comeback.

                He raises a very good point about the attrition police forces experienced nationally after the Floyd fiasco and the resulting difficulty of attracting new candidates.

                    Really, it's only Black on Black crime. Should we care? Well, it seems President Trump cares. (Probably for the wrong reason--but he cares.) All good.

                    And that's why Trump is President and Kamila is some "Mrs." somewheres.

                          So 2 of the 3 kids that killed that Congressional Staffer back in June were arrested. Rumor is that it was federal resources that caught the kids, not DC Police.

                            Rumor has it a former CW and FoxNews host was also involved. What a difference! We might visit in October, my kids I think will at least enjoy seeing all the cool army rangers and machine guns like the toys he plays with at home (not kidding, he will love it).

                                      So. Many. Memes... if we see a pic of Rachmaninoff in jail.

                                      @LuFins-Dad would be fun to try and catch up when I'm in town. It'll be the week of Columbus Day....trip primarily for work, but dragging the fam along to see some sights the kids probably don't remember seeing when they lived here (heck, one kid wasn't even born yet when we moved!)
