DC Council bill would invite massive hike in violent crime

Published



When even Washington, D.C.’s leftist mayor,
Muriel Bowser
, thinks the D.C. Council is getting dangerously lenient on crime,
wokeness
has clearly gone too far.

The council is expected to vote on Tuesday to override Bowser’s veto of a bill to penalties for serious
crimes
such as home invasion thefts, carjacking, and homicide. It would mean a city that militantly restricts the gun rights of law-abiding citizens would lighten the punishment of convicted felons who carry guns illegally or commit crimes with them.
