Hmmmm. Can't be the guns--they're outlawed in D.C. Unless the libs are admitting that outlawing them didn't do anything.....

"There's a great deal of fear and intimidation in the neighborhoods. We need witnesses in order to proceed to arrest and prosecute," Ramsey said.But first we have to disarm the witnesses and print their names in the newspaper. If they call 911 we'll put them on hold and if the bad guy does do a slip and fall in the homeowner's dwelling, well, heck, we have to put someone in prison, don't we?
Just so it looks like we're doing our job.

And the midnight basketball. Clintoon sure was a visionary, wasn't he?

"We're now trying to understand the culture of the gangs here in the city," said Carolyn Graham, the deputy mayor responsible for most of the city's human services programs. No need for understanding --- just like there is no need for understanding the terrorists: we need to eliminate them. Scum is scum --- I have just explained it. Can we act now, or should we first wait until you replace an aging color TV in the prison you run?

It's easy to incite people to violence. One charismatic powerful person pretending to care can rally a community with hate and envy. Communists used this tactic in Africa in the early 60s, Democrats used it in Watts, LA, Cincinnati, Seattle....if it's an election year, visible communities, those most likely to receive widespread national coverage...violence will be incited.
When the agitator/pimp/thug/bullies who "lead" these communities into destruction get their fellow tyrants elected, the streets will once again seem peaceful as attacks go unreported and the books are cooked for PR.

This can't be true because it is illegal to own most guns in Washington, DC.

There are NO such things as "gangs"!!! It is all hip hop or racist white guys stereotyping blacks!!! Well, at least that what my black friends say.
