Days after Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) staffer was brutally stabbed over the weekend, Washington, DC, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson testified before Congress on Wednesday that the soaring crime rate in the district is not a crisis.
Overall crime has soared across the district by 22 percent since 2022, D.C. crime statistics from Wednesday show. Sex abuse is up 110 percent. Homicides are up 19 percent. Property crime is up 27 percent, and motor vehicle theft has soared 108 percent.

Nope. A crisis would be, in the DC's council's view, if THEY had been robbed, carjacked, raped, or killed.
A Republican or two getting nearly murdered is a perceived good in their eyes. Heck, the perp probably stopped a potential J6-style "insurrection." He's scheduled to get his award at the DC council next week.

The crime situation in DC is not in crisis, it is just normal, that is DC normal!

Neither Ron being brutally assaulted by his Leftist neighbor, nor Steve Scalise being shot by an anti-GOP lunatic on the Congressional baseball field, were considered problems, either. Anybody who thinks justice isn't partisan in D.C. simply hasn't been paying attention.

All those statistics and there is no crime crisis. Obviously the same idiots who believe that 2 + 2 really can equal 5. Seriously, are these people the stupidest people on earth or is it something else?

Ha no calls for knife control laws and outlawing knives. Nothing here folks. It’s only a crisis when they see who the victim is and if they can manufacture sympathy for the perp.

Rampant crime is not a crisis.
The border is secure.
Inflation is only temporary.
Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.

Ok, to PROVE it's NOT a Crisis, let's round up ALL Democraps and put them in the worst part of town...by themselves, and see what happens.

It's only a crisis when Democrats manufacture it, which in this case they have done.
