It was a bloody week in America’s violent capital city. On Monday, police killed a man suspected of killing a motorist and maiming another while attempting four carjackings. This came after a weekend in which Washington, D.C., suffered 60 carjackings in just 72 hours.

A nation’s capital represents the nation, and Washington, D.C., is doing that to our national shame with its appalling upsurge in violent crime.
