“They” did huh.

No… they just don’t believe the proposed bill helps reduce crime.

Pretty easy to understand unless your goal is to mischaracterize their position.

Can you point to DC engaging in this type of incarceration in the last 5 years?

The people in question live here part time.

Did you miss one of them being attacked in her apt by a repeat offender?

Or…

They could update the criminal code with the well beibg of the citizens in mind?

It can be distorted.

But its an increase on an increase during the first half of last year.

So a concerning trend

This is now the THIRD TIME someone is explaining to you that when someone is CARJACKED they are present and forced to give keys to the carjacker which makes the ignition issue irrelevant for CARJACKINGS

This is the second time you are being told that carjacking is not associated with Kia and Hyundai ignitions.

Carjacking is a violent crime where you are forced to give someone your car.

People walk around fine!!!!

::::moments later::::

I got jumped by 6 kids I’m not complainin!!

When the donestic abuser is similarly let off with no punishment would that get you motivated on this issue?

Data drives the decisions.

So having a cop walk a beat is the same to them as saying someone has an ugly girlfriend.

For a professional consultant in this sphere you sure missed the point of my question…

But they will in short time… so why detain them?

Why detain them when prosecutors are going to just dismiss?

No thats what happens when the digital policing revolution says they should be in a car to respond faster… per the moneyball-esque data.

What happens when the criminal is arrested?

Nothing. So why focus on this when they arrest them and nothibg happens?

Keep that anger towards the prosecutor that would not prosecute them for anything on the basis they cant prove carjaccking.

Possession of stolen property? Unauthorized use of a vehicle? Trespassing… yaaaawwwn naw

Ummmm… Epstein is Catholic??

How do you vacay?

Do you hang by a pool at a nice resort? Keep it. You’ll do that every available weekend in summer.

Its 4 without a heater.

Water gets coooold. April no september no.

Yeah… pretty rare.

Do you believe that the current frustration with the justice system is that they are consistently only sentencibg armed robbers to 8 years when the vocal rabble of reddit demands 12?

It’s a twist of the logic. Having a stiffer penalty won’t stop someone from deciding to be an anti-social menace. They won’t weigh the consequences and see a difference between 5 years and 10 years for example.

And I’d agree that high functioning time preference and long term planning isn’t a strength of most violent criminals.

Believing there is no punishment (or a very small likelihood which is what DC is) would explode crime. See porch pirates.

So they say longer sentences to obscure reality. We want say…5 years for being a felon with a gun with the serial number her shaved off,,, that seems reasonable. They get zero too often.

They hear “longer sentences” because 5 is more than 0 and repeat mindlessly “longer sentences don’t reduce crime”.

My fellow citizen… we want A sentence… not 40 years for shoplifting,

1. This is recognition of a problem..l literally step one. Good

2. DC govt has control over OAG and youth prosecution and that is even lighter in holding violent criminals responsible

3. Our sentencing limits are fine. If properly applied they of course reduce crime by removing criminals from society. The problem is the lack of any sentencing not the limits. You don’t need to spam “longer sentences don’t reduce crime” like a bot. No one wants harsher sentences on the books.

4. You have completely limited the liability of the situation we are in. YOU know about it how? What wapo articles have you read discussing the USAO awful track record? Where did this understanding off the ineffectiveness of USAO you allude to come from?

Why isn’t it a step that our media needs to be reporting the courts? Why shouldn’t we desire a full transparency into our judicial system? Heck they could keep it anon and just discuss the case and it would be effective.

We ironically get “invaded” by Baltimore mods frequently lol
