91% of the citizens say crime in DC is out of control. That means it’s highly probable those protesters aren’t from there. 

... or these are in the 9% who like crime.

Paid protesting is up 400% in dc under Trump.    Soros and others dumped 20m into  different protest groups in dc recently.

Here is the ceo of a company called crowds on demand discussing the fees he pays to his paid protestors.  Even discussing have to pay them more if they have to get up at 8am…..

I'm sure rv is happy and will praise Trump.  Market may be tanking but paid protesting surging.

Crime is often a product of poverty.  Address the poverty issues whether it is big city or rural and crime rates will drop.

FIFY.  You were very close, though.  Good try.

In the District of Columbia, a significant portion of students are struggling, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and failing grades. A report from WAMU says that 43% of students were chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, and 37% were truant. This is compounded by issues like academic redshirting policies and challenges in special education, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of the current educational system. 

Key Issues: 

High Absenteeism:

D.C. has some of the highest absenteeism rates in the nation, with chronic absenteeism and truancybeing major problems

Paragraph two i bolded.   The consequences you ask?   Crime lol   Who would have thought 

Media Recap

A Washington Post investigation published this week uncovered a disturbing pattern in Washington, D.C.: chronic absenteeism has exploded across the city’s middle schools, and with it, a surge in youth crime. In 2015, just 10% of middle-schoolers were chronically absent. Now, that number is over 30%. In the city’s poorest neighborhoods, that figure climbs even higher.

The consequences? Staggering. Teen carjackings. Robberies. Gun violence. And in one heartbreaking case, the death of 14-year-old Irving LaBoard, an 8th-grader who had missed nearly half the school year and was found shot and killed in Fort Dupont Park.

The report places blame squarely on the breakdown of early truancy interventions, a shortage of mental health staff, and a lack of meaningful community engagement. Bureaucracy is drowning the system while children fall through the cracks.

I’ve been repeatedly hearing on this forum crime isn’t an issue in dc…. And there is no need to combat it differently.   Do you have a different take?

That's a red herring.

Why would anyone support of the deployment of the United States military into the streets of its cities so it can act as a police force? 

It's amazing to me how many people support and cheer on the erosion of their rights.

What rights are the NG eroding?

That’s a great question I hope you answer.  Why did the democratic mayor of Washington DC ask congress for the national guard to fight crime two years ago?

 

also.  Please let me know what rights the guard are eroding.

Again. Dems are to blame. When they started the defund the police movement the number of people willing to take the job decreased dramatically.  Who did you think was going to become the police force when you can’t fill the police force???  Only option is the military.

So, no responsible parenting leads to no ability to get or keep a job - where showing up is not negotiable.  So, does poverty lead to the inability to find your way to school or does absenteeism lead to poverty?  Poverty is not the cause.  It is the result.

It's seems you are confusing the NG with the mayor.
