DC continues experiencing soaring crime rates despite council chairman saying ‘there is no crime crisis’

Violent crime has increased 38% over the past year in nation’s capital

Democratic D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson told the House Committee on Oversight in late March that while there are considerable concerns regarding crime, residents should not worry.

“With regard to crime, yes, there is considerable concern,” Mendelson said. “But while perception is important, the reality is less concerning. Let me be clear: People should feel safe, and it is a problem that many residents of the district don’t. I say, put his ass on the front lines for a bird’s eye view.

It’s nice to be able to sit on top of the nob hill looking down at all of the peons being dumped on all the while feeling safe, secure, and in denial.

Violent crime has increased 38% in the nation’s capital in the last year and this delusional fool does not see a problem. WTFIN???

If I would have to guess, I would assume that this fool has not taken a leisurely stroll through the ghettos recently. If he did I can guarantee he would have the scars to prove it.
