Crime in DC is so bad that anti-crime politicians can't even put up posters without having their car stolen. D.C. Council Candidate Running Over Crime Has Car Stolen While Hanging Up Campaign Posters https://www.mediaite.com/politics/d...car-stolen-while-hanging-up-campaign-posters/ D.C. Council candidate Paul Johnson said his motivations for run for office were reinforced after his car was stolen while he was hanging up campaign posters. Johnson recalled in an ABC 7 interview after the fact that he was hanging up campaign posters in the early morning hours on Tuesday when multiple masked assailants drove up to him and told him not to move. “They looked menacing. They told me what to do. I don’t see their hands, and I’m not taking anything for granted,” Johnson said. One of the platforms Johnson is running on is crime in D.C. He’s running in Ward 4, which is currently represented by D.C. Council member Janeese Lewis George, a Democrat. Fellow Democrat Lisa Gore is also running and the Democratic primary will be held on June 4. On his campaign website, Johnson says his wife and daughter had to duck from a stray bullet while at a soccer game and the city is facing “addiction, graffiti tags on our buildings, blighted properties and in some cases abhorrent building conditions.” Crime in D.C. has been moving downward in 2024, but many areas hit a major spike in 2023, including carjackings, according to police. An MPD dashboard shows there have been over 170 carjackings this year and nearly 70% of those incidents involve guns. Johnson’s car was still running when one of the two carjackers got behind the wheel. Police are investigating the car theft. “It’s the last thing that was on my mind, that at 5 o’clock in the morning while I’m hanging up posters that this would happen. I’m grateful that I’m safe,” he said. Johnson said the incident is an example of a “crime wave” in D.C. “I thought about my family. I thought about other residents and other neighbors suffering under this crime scourge and crime wave,” he said. “I think it just reinforced the reasons why I’m running.”
No surprise in a city where the worst criminals in the world work and reside. The city is the epicenter of organized crime. A city where those who run the place and the country believe themselves exempt from all laws. A fish rots from the head and the head of this fish is rotten throughout. Stealing cars is child's play compared to people who kill millions worldwide for power and profit.
Love all these politicians talking about running on a platform of anti crime (as though anyone is in favor of crime).... Only solution in a place like D.C. is have a cop car parked every two blocks in crime areas as a deterrent
New York City tried parking cops cars every block in bad neighborhoods as a deterrent. It did not work out very well. The criminals came and stripped the cop cars.
Call it what it is. Cities need to at least triple the black incarceration rate to bring crime down to anywhere near what it is in the suburbs.
They will not do what you recommend because "blacks" are needed to help vote Trump back into the U.S. Presidency. After the November vote, Trump as a convicted felon/President of the United States will go after the protesting Muslims if there's still an Israel / Hamas war and then you can send him your recommendation to "triple the black incarceration" which should be of interest to Trump considering he promised revenge against those that voted him out of the Oval Office in 2020. Now imagine a convicted felon tripling the black incarceration rate. #paradox wrbtrader
