"We are the safest and most secure city in the world," said Bob Sweeney, president of DC 2024. "The largest expense of any Olympic Games is security, and the fact that we've got it pretty built in to our everyday life here in Washington, we would leverage that asset tremendously to put on this high-profile event."

This is from comedy central? Slow Joe Biden? Is this the same city they wanted to bring in the federal troops because the crime was so bad? The might have an up over a lot of other cities, not because of security, but because they have an established legion of prostitutes and drug dealers used to dealing with domestic and foreign visitors.

Well, when the old NBA Baltimore Bullets relocated to DC, they did change their names to the Wizards, didn’t that reduce crime in DC?

*snort*

I don't think DC will be even close to being able to pitch the safety highlights by 2024.

I saw a flash mob of “urban youts” aka “Obama’s sons” strip a beverage truck clean in DC last spring.

But I will say in about 90 seconds there were probably 100 LEOs on the scene.

DC is the parking ticket capital of the world, not the safest city of the world.

There is a difference!

It’s a racist dump full of people clawing at each other to get ahead. The people there tend to be mean and self-absorbed. And the city certainly doesn’t need an economic boost, since our tax dollars have been going there for decade after decade.

I’d go for that considering Jessee Jackson thinks the Tea Party is the new Confederacy.
