Restore crime capital in America

Early on Sunday morning, shots on 1,300 blocs from Connecticut Street – steps from Dubont Serkel, a sports club in New York, and the only Brokes Brothers in the city.

The stealing of an Ozeka coat in Canada on the metro train, which is a afternoon murder at Al-Ittihad station, the Dubont district stabbed broad daylight and rioters who want terrorism in Safeway in Safeway-all have occurred since the end of the new year.

It is chaos as usual in Colombia.

Washington has a isolated discrimination among the world’s most dead cities. To put it in the global context: In 2023, the boycott witnessed its bloodiest year since 1997 in 40 murders per 100,000 people – behind Johannesburg and recorded three times the rate of Narko Capital Bogota.

For most of us, the simple crime that becomes stressful. In CVS in the neighborhood, they keep the toilet paper under the lock and the key. A few blocks on the road, a pharmacy closed simply to keep the goods on its shelves, except for life magazines. Our neighborhood covers are very rude, one of whom tried to travel an American crowd guarding Judge Sonia Sotomiore.

The Chinese metro metro was exposed on a summer night and you will find young people wandering in ski masks and sunglasses. They may find the street lights uncomfortable. Plastic bags and cash exchange. Keep this iPhone in your pocket and walk with a feeling of goal.

The problem is not limited to the relatively west of the west of the wealthy, where I live and watch now my back in the evening. On Sunday before last, the city witnessed four shootings within 24 hours – one in each of its four quarters.

Are local officials fell on the wheel? They may call compassionate intentions, but for years the Capital City Council has pushed the measures that actively undermine the law and order. In which a national fever was caught to calm the police, legislators in the province have sought to reduce millions of Metropolitan police administration budget in 2020. For her, Mayor Morel Bousser resisted the most extreme invitations to neutral law enforcement and doubled the police resources in its budget 2025. But it was too late for a bit of mayor with a decade of time under her belt in the city hall.

More symbol of the boycott defect, and confronting the newly expelled council runway – and ion White – which represented the federal bribery wing and violence inappropriately. Public prosecutors claim White agreed to accept $ 156,000 in exchange for pressure on continuous current agencies under his supervision to expand certain contracts, including those related to the prevention of violence. It is a rude (alleged) bribe in delivering public safety.

The truth is that the public safety in the province of Colombia is not a democratic or republican issue, nor is it just a local concern. Failure to present the main position of the government in Washington, DC, is a national embarrassment that now requires federal intervention.

Despite all the “taxes without representation” license plates and the comic shadow nominations presented by the advocates of the country’s state, he mentioned that only three decades ago, the Clinton administration imposed a monitoring council on the hosted by the city’s insolvent and rear government. In addition to corruption and financial problems, the capital was in the 1990s of the Cocaine wars that saw Marion Bari’s four periods of prison in a notorious bite.

The “home base” is a completely recent experience in the capital’s government. In 1974, the province was elected the first mayor and the city council in a century, after Richard Nixon signed the law of the internal rule in the law. The local legislation is still subject to the approval of the necessary Congress, and Congress has not hesitated to correct the training course in a way of two parties-with the Senate 81-14 vote in 2023 to prevent a bill for crime that seeks to reduce the maximum armed prison from 40 years to 24.

It may make President Trump’s suggestion to Feedionize DC-“its operation is strong, run on law and order, and make it completely beautiful”-it seems flagrant to local bureaucrats, but this is the bold intervention directed towards the solutions we need to correct the ship. It is advisable to his legal right to lead MPD under emergency conditions, although only 48 hours without the involvement of Congress.

The most permanent reform of the home rule will require legislation on the impact of Washington and safety supervision of every resident law-or the Boser Law-which was submitted last year and again earlier this month by Senator Mike Leatt, with the aim of completely abolishing the house of home base.

Nearly two and a half centuries ago, the province of Colombia – in its new classic greatness and public, sprawling public places – was standing as physical appearances of the American ideals, which is a “city on Tal”. Persons with urban life mechanics will differ, but public safety is the issue of proper sense. As an issue of American pride, let’s retrieve the law and the capital system for our nation.
