Reply to comment by Cythrosi in Republican congressman calls D.C. schools ‘crappy,’ ‘inmate factories’ by Ok_Culture_3621

We have only one issue. With USAO and their directives.

Need only sunlight on the problem. Demand media do it.

Instead wapo writes new stories that are press releases. Allowing them to say a crime lab shutdown n 2021 prevents prosecution when we can show lack of prosecution in 2019.

Neither party is your friend. Demand better now by every institution

I don’t see the word money in either of those articles.

Which makes me think you are being malicious or you are just not intellectually equipped for this conversation.

The nextdoor line seals it. Malicious. Posting a blue link that doesn’t discuss budget of the fed court in a fed court budget convo.

** But - while surely the Council can play some role in fixing those problems,** what has the council done to make you believe they don’t support this outcome?

** Similarly, it's a huge problem that our courts are understaffed and that USAO resources are stretched too thin to give local DC prosecutions adequate time and attention.** the last time anyone looked they had the largest budget by far of any federal court. And they aren’t saying they need more anywhere. Just you are.

Well for 1 GDL doesn’t support Trump or MAGAas they view him and the movement as Israeli and Jewish aligned to the hilt. See Trumps record and statements…

For B… I don’t need a B I think you need to tell me why Jim Demint buying property in DC means you run to the wallet to give the ADL cash.

Also..

the vast majority of people are sentenced to far less than four years.

Why?

Why are so many arguments for this bill containing passing reference to a serious issue with our justice system as if thats the ok state of affairs.

Its entirely undemocratic. If I asked this city what the sentence should be for a violent felon who has a gun on them illegally the answer wouldnt be “the vast majority should be sentenced to far less than 4 years”

Its a scandal whats happening in our courts and its a scandal that people are silent on it.

While seemingly well aware of the state of the courts when discussibg the reductions in sentences proposed in this bill.

It’s better when you understand the arguments being presented… avoids you presenting counter arguments to straw men created for you by the media and pundits.

My comment made no mention to Graves being against the terms proposed for felons with a gun.

Read my link… he was against the classification of unauthorized which would make it easier for criminals to legally own a gun.

Well for example USAO Graves pointed to significant flaws in the handling of firearms in the bill which would lead to less prosecution of felons with guns.

The recidivism rate of that group is higher (ie they commit lots of crime) so… that’s one point.
