A small number of kids are committing a majority of crimes. The fact of being repeat offenders should be the red flag.

Legal system needs to be a fall back for the bad parenting. Plus many parents are either dead tired from working multiple jobs or are actually working at night and can’t be around. Don’t think any parents are really aware of all this and condone it. Maybe 1 or 2 in the whole city but overall they’re trying to work extra to support their family

TLDR: "In Virginia, where a state report found that approximately $1.3 billion in merchandise is stolen this way annually, state lawmakers approved legislation Thursday that will make organized retail theft a felony and make those convicted of the crime eligible for prison sentences of up to 20 years.
The legislation, which has the governor's support, will make it a Class 3 felony for anyone to conspire or act in concert with one or more people to steal retail merchandise with a value exceeding $5,000 in a 90-day period, with the intent to sell the stolen goods for profit."

The dc ag doesn’t really do shit. The us attorneys office for dc is responsible for prosecuting crimes in the city. Only the feckless DOJ oversees them. They can’t even get people for overthrowing the govt.

I agree that it’s good to use less as an individual, but I’m saying it literally won’t matter so long as the rich keep doing what they’re doing.

Our unit has steel studs in the walls and I suspected they soak up a lot of the wifi signal. Couldn't get much signal in our back room that's only 20 feet from where the router was, even with high gain antennas. So I got a mesh system (Amplifi Alien) and ran an ethernet cable to the second unit and since then wifi has been rock solid everywhere in the house.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the work life balance. Constant cancellation of days off, constant extended shifts, constant vacation day blackouts, shitty supervisor that are out to get you. Or maybe it has to do with all the criminals they are employing. How many have been arrested or prosecuted in the last year

That’s what’s so fucked it’s not hard to find those people and track them through all the crimes. I’m sure it’s not much higher numbers I’m Dc than 500-1000 people.
Just no one wants to do any fucking work. Just sit there responding to crimes and then letting them off is all that’s done.
Also they listen to criminals and their families more than victims.
Thats why in neighborhoods the kid was shot trying to steal cars, and another tried to rob a frickin grandma and the neighborhood basically beat his ass.
They shouldn’t have to do that shit and those neighborhoods are probably seeing more crime than better ones so they’re fed up.
We also should realize it’s wild for an NFL RB to be shot and just act like that’s a normal Occurrence.
32 nfl teams 32 cities amd only DC is where a running back gets ducking shot im a car jacking.
Is that person even in jail?! No chance.

Mesh is great and all but our router was placed at the front of our house and i can’t get a decent signal in the way back. I’d move the router but it’s connected to our tv.

Improve the culture, do some housecleaning to get rid of dead wood, get rid of Proud Boys sympathizers and others who have no business being cops, and maybe people will want to join up again.

Same thing happened with the original cable franchise back in the 80's. District cablevision. Wasn't worth much until Comcast bought them out.
