Washington, D.C., Democrats have given juvenile criminals a pass for so long that the district has been forced to take embarrassing steps to try to rein them in. Relying on the National Guard to maintain order is unsustainable; the district needs a full attitude shift toward crime.
The district reimplemented a curfew for juveniles in special curfew zones after hundreds of teenagers gathered in the Navy Yard area on Friday night, with several fights breaking out. Police made five arrests that night, with one teenager being arrested while carrying a knife and a sergeant being assaulted as police broke up the crowd. On Saturday night, another 18 teenagers were stopped for violating the curfew, which lasts from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser also imposed an emergency curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
