The Concern: President Trump’s deployment of the Nationwide Guard in Washington, DC, to curb crime.

President Trump is an absolute genius (“Historic rescue for DC,” Aug. 12).

Because the left needs to be towards something he does, the insane Democrats now discover themselves on the facet of the carjackers, gangbangers and road thugs in Washington, DC.

Phrase on the road is that Michelle and Barack Obama are very involved about Trump’s actions as they observe the shenanigans from their lily-white neighborhood on Nantucket.

The president has had sufficient of lawbreakers within the capital.

It’s time to take again management of town from criminals who terrorize its residents.

Trump has created a template for combating crime.

New York and Chicago ought to take discover, together with just a few different cities who let lawbreakers rule the streets with hard-working folks residing in concern of being victims of violent crime.

I like these “Free DC” protests in Washington, organized by teams that obtain darkish cash from the Soros “philanthropies” and different left-leaning teams that resent america and wish to see it destroyed.

Immediately’s protesters are nothing however helpful idiots.

It’s the one method to describe individuals who protest towards controlling crime.

I applaud President Trump’s measures to crack down on crime in Washington, DC, however this present of drive will solely be briefly efficient if recidivism isn’t addressed.

You possibly can arrest each single unhealthy man in DC, but when the courts flip them unfastened, you’ll be proper again the place you began.

It looks like a reasonably easy answer to incarcerate the individuals who repeatedly commit crimes, however lax legal guidelines and liberal judges work towards this commonsense notion.

This stupidity just isn’t distinctive to DC, and till judicial reform is adopted in crime-plagued cities, we’ll proceed the inane cycle of placing incorrigible folks by a damaged system over and over.

Trump’s soiled restaurant analogy is a sound one.

If Washington’s streets and public locations are unkempt and unsafe, who will wish to go there?

There are unparalleled architectural and historic websites, museums and world-class eating places.

Till folks can return in peace to go to and luxuriate in them, the duty is not going to be full.

So long as there are liberal judges, prosecutors, politicians and voters who don’t imagine in accountability, penalties and punishment for criminals, crime will flourish.

The last word injustice is defending criminals on the expense of victims.

Liberals who goal to defund and handcuff the police bear monumental duty for crime and anarchy in our cities.

President Trump is doing what liberals are unwilling to do: defending the folks of Washington, DC.

Lastly, we now have a president who received’t be oblivious to the overall breakdown of regulation and order in our massive cities.

His takeover of the DC police division and activation of the Nationwide Guard to again it up are optimistic steps towards restoring security to the District of Columbia.

It received’t be lengthy earlier than the clueless loonies hoot and holler about this motion.

Once they do, we have to bear in mind this: No matter Trump does, no matter he says, the hapless left will all the time, with out exception, react in a detrimental style with out offering an oz. of a treatment.

When President Trump gleefully advised the nation that DC cops and Nationwide Guard troopers will now be allowed to “do regardless of the hell they need,” did he imply that he’s authorizing them to face in the midst of Pennsylvania Avenue and shoot any person?

Richard Siegelman

Plainview

Too unhealthy Trump can’t “free” different crime-ridden cities like Chicago, San Francisco and New York.

The Democrats are hallucinating as traditional.

They suppose all is nicely when it’s not.
