Some of you may remember that the DC government was bragging last year that they’d got the murder rate to the lowest in 45 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a one on one interview with Fox 5 Monday, DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier said it all has to do with focusing on a small group of violent offenders and working closely with the community.<\/p>\n

“The first is focusing on those repeat violent gun offenders,\u201d said Chief Cathy Lanier in an interview in her office Monday. “It’s a small number of people who consistently carry guns and engage in repeat violent gun offenses. If you can focus on those people and get them off the street that is the number one key ingredient.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blah-blah-f***ing-blah. All they did was push the criminals across the state line to Prince George’s County, Maryland. In fact murder, rates went up in every county that touches the District in Maryland and Virginia.<\/p>\n

On Facebook I joked the other morning that more Americans have died violently in Prince George’s County this year than in Afghanistan and that we should withdraw from Maryland immediately. Where’s the IVAW? <\/p>\n

The truth is that 13 people have been killed<\/a> in PG County in the first 14 days of this year as of this morning.<\/p>\n

Police now say there have only been 12 homicides this year, as one death is considered justifiable. A 30-year-old was shot and killed Tuesday by a homeowner while trying to break into the owner’s New Carrollton residence. “The long and short of it is intent,” Cpl. Evan Baxter explained.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, intent. If the homeowner hadn’t killed the intruder, the homeowner would be dead…either way someone was going to die as the result of a crime.<\/p>\n

Anyway, DC pushes it’s criminals out of the district and they become someone else’s problem, but DC has the lowest murder rate it’s had in years. Like when DC’s former chief Ramsey blamed the increase in crime on the fact that all of the criminals were done serving their ten years sentences and were back on the streets.<\/p>\n

So now PG County has declared an emergency and they’ve increased the number of cops on their streets. So the criminals will head back into DC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
