there were 442 crimes reported in the district in the past seven days.

and that's not even counting the ones orchestrated from 1600 penn ave, either.

It’s truly mind boggling how many unprosecuted cases of child rape there are walking around that building.

We ought to throw this back at them. "There was next to no crime in DC until Trump was in office. Now DC is a lawless hellscape, his words. Sounds like crime follows Trump around."

You'll need a seat at the national news cartel to make this stick.

I declare that Trump is an asshole.

I declare that he's demented, and unfit to run a McDonalds, let alone the US. The crimes he was convicted of are one thing, but this guy raped kids. Release the Epstein files if it's not true.

Those national guard guys really solving the problem eh?

Seeing as how he’s depleting National Guard funding like fucking crazy… they’re going to suffer massively if he doesn’t send them federal funding soon. These faux ‘civil unrest’ missions are going to fuck up their ability to respond to natural disasters.

Trump is a liar. He should have less power and respect than the homeless guy I just saw screaming at a trash can.

How many of the 442 were protesters?

Okay... I read the article and went to the crime site for DC. Here's the screenshot from 2025 Sep 1st

Violent Crime = 50

All Property Crimes = 392
