What I stated was both clear and accurate. The strength of the American nuclear family has declined and if our culture is to improve, this is the foundational brick that it begins with.
Do you want a roll out of martial law nationwide? You even said crime isn’t actually the problem, the problem is cultural. How does martial law solve the culture crisis? I’m very confused.
You don’t get people back to the Lord by pointing a gun at their heads.
The District’s problems go back generations starting with LBJ’s “Great welfare Society”. The District budgets are funded by US taxpayers and local taxes. We get nothing in return. Muriel Bowser has politicized the safety and security of not just DC residents but federal employees, staffers of congresspersons and visitors. It’s the ■■■■■■■ Capitol of the United States fer crissakes!
The numbers do not reflect your level of concern. The upward trend (which was mirrored nationwide, I wonder why) had already been dropping for 18 months and you’re justifying military police roaming the streets.
DC is a Federal city. And yes, military (NG) “police” can be mobilized to restore safety and security to the District of Columbia. DC is not a state ( thankfully) and no partisan Goobernor is needed to mobilize troops to quell violence. You sound quite familiar with the crime in DC. Pray tell, what are the numbers of juvenile violent crimes that are not being prosecuted as they should. You are also aware the DC crime lab has been inoperable since 2021 so evidence not processed gets cases tossed?
I’m interested in your takes.
Why, is there a nationwide rebellion? Are we at war? The (NG) military can’t be mobilized at the state level
without their respective governors. But you knew that.
