It shouldn’t take shootings in Washington, D.C.’s posh areas to concern ourselves with surging violence there.
Many on the Left, unsurprisingly, continue to ignore the uptick in violent crime plaguing cities they oversee—including D.C.
Recent shootings near Nationals Parks in Navy Yard, the up-and-coming Logan Circle neighborhood, and the tragic shooting death of six-year-old Nyiah Courtney recently put this issue into perspective. Why did it take Democrats and their allies so long to acknowledge the problem? Because it finally hit close to home.
For many D.C. residents, the city has become increasingly unsafe. In some corners of the city, sadly, it’s always dangerous.
It’s time to start caring about crime befalling all neighborhoods in the District of Columbia.
