Crime Plunges in Washington DC

 The Left has gone insane over Trump’s decision to put National Guard soldiers in Washington DC.  The Democrats have dug themselves into a very deep hole.  First they lied about Biden’s mental acuity, then they ran the most awful candidate possible, then they were willing to die on the hills of “boys in women’s sports” and “a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.”  Most Americans are not that far left.  Most Americans want less car-jacking, murder, robbery and rape in our nation’s capitol.  Most Americans are not in favor of lawlessness.

It's hard to argue with the recent numbers.  Washington DC has long been a national embarrassment for the American public, consistently ranking high on the list of the most crime ridden cities in the US.  The city consistently ranks in the top 20 for overall crime, 13th out of 200 US cities with the highest property crime and it was ranked 4th in the US for homicide last year.     

While Democrats claim that the mayhem has been in decline since 2023, they don't mention the fact that there was a dramatic spike in assaults, robberies, rapes and murders that year.  Meaning, even with the drop, in 2025 DC still ranks among the worst cities in the US.  There are also suspicions of data rigging by DC officials. 

Throttled prosecution numbers cloud the real picture of safety in the capital and one wonders if anything Democrats say can be trusted.  After all, these are the same people that tried to tell us there was no stagflation crisis.  These are the same people that tried to tell us there was no immigration crisis.  These are the same people that told us the BLM riots were "fiery but mostly peaceful". 

Is it any wonder that the political left is now furious over the Trump Administration's crackdown on crime in DC, even though the program has resulted in an immediate and dramatic decline in criminal activity?

Recent reports show that Washington crime has plunged in the past two weeks.  Property crime dropped 19%, violent crime dipped 17%-22% (depending on the source), robberies/muggings have dropped 40%-46% and carjackings have dropped 83%.  The average murder rate in DC is one killing every 36hrs - There has not been a single murder since August 13th.
