Reply to comment by EastoftheCap in Carjacking at Union Station this Morning. Victims chased suspect to 7th and H NE and suspect bailed. by Swampoodle1984
Mendo mentioned recently that his ex-wife was carjacked. They definitely “give a shit” but it’s bizarre that so many people on here expect legislators to fight crime rather than, y’know, LAW ENFORCEMENT

I expect the legislature to author laws that reduce crime, the executive to enforce the law and the judiciary to interpret the law in the best interest of the people of DC.
Anyone voting for the new criminal code, does not give a shit about what’s happening today in DC.

Carjacking is still very much illegal and completely punishable in the District
EastoftheCap t1_j6593c1 wrote
Illegal, yes. Is there really punishment?

Yep! When you’re convicted, you go to prison!

Eh, sometimes. Sometimes violent people get chance after chance and continue to steal, stab and kill. Sometimes people with long histories get to plead down from murder one to manslaughter after executing a guy in front of his kids.

Wait until you find how much council members were involved in that case. The answer will shock you
EastoftheCap t1_j65d9ct wrote
Why would the council be involved in that case?
Pipes_of_Pan t1_j65dftf wrote
they’re not involved in any cases, in fact! Murder and carjacking are against the law
EastoftheCap t1_j65drbj wrote
Yes? Just because they are against the law doesn't mean that charges will be properly pursued by the judiciary. In fact, we know they won't in many, many cases.

Good points. Makes me wonder why you want people working in the Wilson building to get carjacked then
EastoftheCap t1_j65ebly wrote
Is that how you interpreted by post? That I "want" some to get jacked? Seems like a stretch.
Pipes_of_Pan t1_j65ev9d wrote
there is no other way to interpret it, actually

Man, that's tough for you.
