Chief "Too many guns on the street." Too many criminals walking free with council members reluctant to pass a public safety bill knowing minorities might be affected.

This is the plan for the entire country.

Demonstrating their contributions to society everyday, every city. And yet the media and politicians continue to defend this broken culture.

DC Chicago New York St Louis Oakland Cal Memphis TN New Orleans All the same people !

[danielbumbalo]

Not a lot of diversity among DC criminals

[frickpoo]

seeing that they put whyte parents in prison for 20 yrs for their kids shooting, all these kid's guardians will be also going to prison for 20

How funny is it that the mayor of DC priority is making sure the capital one Arena is up and working i.e. given the fact her crime rate is up. I think I would’ve spent that $515 million on crime infrastructure. Hell give me $10 million for crime infrastructure.

Didn't you all defund the police?

[melfisher]

Crime in D.C.?? Say it ain't so!!

[yournotmymaster]

😂😂😂😂😂 and they say the guns are the problem

A culture of bravado and bullying shouldn't be celebrated or protected. Resist Hate.

Never mentions the DRUGS, the gangs fighting for turf. Many people dodging bullets are customers. People want to party with their drugs. If the demand dries up, the suppliers dry up

It’s just an unfortunate incident? How about raise your children properly?

[mrscrystalschwartz]

No it not too many guns on the street, it’s more like little many criminals with guns that are on the streets.
The cops do their job but it’s the judges who let them back onto the streets.

Being a DC reporter: here’s some pretty pictures of flowers! Next: murder, chaos and destruction…

[DeSmith-ob]

You voted for this disaster, D.C.
Enjoy!

[glenngallegos]

Broken homes, no social values, never taking responsibility - Nope, I can't have empathy for anyone affected

Sadly, when consequences are light bad people will do bad things. Sad

[Tex_actual]

How is that possible? I thought guns were illegal in DC? How strange.

Buttigieg said Sunday during an MSNBC interview he can "safely walk my dog to the Capitol today in a way you couldn't do when we all got here"

That comment didn't age well.
