One way to know a big election is on the horizon and the Democrats do not feel confident they can win said election is announcements like this one.

Oh, now, they would like to do something about the violent crime in D.C. How kind of them!

That's all this is about and the voting populace should be offended they think they can win their vote so easily. Also, the fact they think people don't see right through this is hilarious.

Good question! Why are we releasing this news on a regular Friday?

Nothing is about the good of the people anymore. It's all about how it will or will no effect their next election.

Some very high ranking politician must have been scared because some regular old Congress folks were even accosted and nothing was done even then.

Of course you're pleased. You're a fellow Democrat. What else would you say, honestly?
