Sources she tell me that admitted communist, Islamic convert and traitor John Brennan has fled the country and is hiding out in Austria, where MSNBC has built a makeshift studio for him to make it appear that he is in the United States. Brennan has no intention of returning to the country and can be considered to be on the lam.
Based on 2024 data, Washington DC's homicide rate was 27.3 per 100,000 residents, ranking it about 8th highest among major US cities (behind St. Louis, Baltimore, etc.). In 2025, year-to-date homicides are down 12% (99 vs. 112 in 2024), projecting a full-year rate around 24 per 100k, still top 10. Sources: DC Police, White House, USAFacts.
@WashProbs I've been held up at gunpoint, had my car broken into 3 times, and had my bike stolen. My credit card has been skimmed too many times to count and I cant send my kids to public school here because they're a joke.
The murder rate in DC is only 3-5x higher than NYC. How beautiful.
Relative Difference: Washington, D.C.’s murder rate is approximately 3–5 times higher than New York City’s, depending on the final 2025 figures. Posts on X claim D.C.’s rate is 5.8–10 times higher, but these may exaggerate based on older data or specific neighborhood comparisons (e.g., Manhattan’s rate of ~2.9 per 100,000).
@WashProbs DC is an absolute garbage dump, violence riddled hell hole. I lived off Wisconsin and on 3rd and A back a few years ago. It deserves better than ignoring the violence.
@WashProbs This account literally posts DC crime videos on IG every single day and thousands of comments lament the "lost generation" of YOUNG kids committing crimes... and suddenly you want everyone to memory hole that?
AND forget the crimes we've been victims of to boot? Nah...
One thing I’ve learned having 4 kids and holding many kids cooking classes: if the kids cook it themselves, they will always eat it. If we want kids to expand their palates, they need to cook more. If this was done with school food, where a class was established to help cook and prep, I bet we could get kids to eat better food in the school system (and learn some life skills).
Doing this is DC is defensible/debatable but there is no federal authority to just takeover law enforcement in NYC or Chicago and Trump makes his own case exponentially worse when he just spouts off and says random crazy stuff like this
You mean like when someone closes your business, school and church? Calls in the National Guard to shoot you with paintballs if you step outside your house? Keeps emergency powers for more than a year and acts unilaterally?
Or more like when someone sets up a snitch line and tells you to report your neighbors to the government? Like that?
Carjackings have skyrocketed in D.C.:
2018: 148 2023: 957
That’s a 547% increase.
But sure, let’s entertain the idea 2023 was an outlier and compare to 2024, which Democrats love to point to:
497 carjackings in 2024 is still TRIPLE the number seen in 2018.
Here’s the DC homicide data for the past 20 years — 187 murders isn’t even close to a “historic low.”
I highlighted all the years with fewer murders than 2024 just to make it crystal clear.
On the one hand, DC crime is down along with the rest of the nation.
On the other hand, DC crime is so high that even with the big drop of the last couple years, it is still embarassingly high, and this is our capitol city. The homicide rate last year was 27.3 per 100,000, around 5x the national rate.
I'm not sure a policing surge can fix decades of dysfunction, but we'll see.
