Democratic Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., is calling for serious action against the rising crime crisis and for prosecution of repeat offenses after she was reportedly assaulted by a man who had a rap sheet full of violent crimes.
"I got attacked by someone who the District of Columbia has not prosecuted fully over the course of almost a decade, over the course of 12 assaults before mine that morning," Craig told CBS News in an interview. "And so I think we have to think about how in the world can we make sure that we’re not just letting criminals out."
Despite the lengthy record, the 26-year-old repeat offender remained a free man even after reportedly 12 known assaults before Craig.
"I mean, it wasn’t even in every instance that he got 10 days or 30 days. Many times, the charges were completely dropped before any justice was achieved at all," she added. "I was assault number 13 on his record," the Democratic congresswoman said. "And I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure there's not a 14, a 15, a 20."
"If you throw somebody in jail for 10 days and think, 'There's your punishment, and we're gonna let you right back on the street,' what the hell do you think's gonna happen?" she said.

Russian disinformation. Gotta be.
They only get serious when it affects them.
Lesbian nutjob. Took a dose of reality to open her eyes, only temporary I’ll guarantee.
Thank good old do-nothing Mayor Muriel Bowser. Sits on her behind all day doing nothing.
Yup. First 12 victims didn’t matter. 13th victim is me? Hey, we got a problem here ...
I suggest a ‘sentence multiplier’
You get sentenced to the mandatory minimum TIMES the number of times you’ve been convicted.
Traffic ticket? $50. 5th traffic ticket? 5 time $50.
Simple Assault? 1 year. 2nd assault? 2 years... etc.
I would be OK with lowering some first time offender sentences- everyone can make a mistake. But do it again? clearly you didn’t learn a lesson.
Twelve times is really not that many if you think about it.
If you throw somebody in jail for 10 days and think, ‘There’s your punishment, and we’re gonna let you right back on the street,’ what the hell do you think’s gonna happen?” she said.
I don’t know, ask your democrat pals. They’re the ones insisting on letting these scum out.
And what did she and her liberal woke chicken sh## idiot colleagues think was gonna happen with defunding. Nice to see it happening to all who supported BLM and their mayhem
awww so a liberal got a wake up call when mugged himself!
The Woke Movement has infected society with the idea that America is rigged against non-white people. They fan the flames of hatred by preaching that every white person you come into contact with wishes you ill, that every policeman who sees you wants to arrest and abuse you for nothing, that all the wealth of those more successful than you has been stolen from your forefathers, that the very concepts of right and wrong are designed by white people to hold you down...well, you get the point.
You can see that the fire has been kindled all around the country. At the moment, they are only a million little brushfires (however much some have taken over entire cities like Chicago and Philadelphia). But soon they will grow into a conflagration.
LOVE IT!
Variation on that concept — I think people should serve a maximum of 5 years in jail in their lifetime.
If your jail sentences put you over 5 years total over your lifetime, or if you have committed a crime for which 5 years seems inadequate, I would go straight to execution. I do not believe in warehousing people, I don’t like repeat offenders, and I think a great many people have no place in decent society.
When you protect stray dogs and mongrels, they’ll eventually bite you.
Stupid useful idiots vote for stupid democrats that put in place stupid laws that get stupid democrats assaulted.
I think I may see an upside to all this stupidity.
That’s how many times he got caught
They won’t catch me again.
Sounds like white fragility thinking...
Turns out for most criminals the punishment doesn’t matter. Nor can they be rehabilitated. Forced segregation is the only humane solution.
