I figured as much for the most part have come to terms with it. Thank you for the reply.

It's amazing how much you can be on auto-pilot.

Why is this specifically an example of it? Nothing has been granted yet.

No worries, mate. The politics and policies of high-speed chases are certainly difficult. They just weren’t at play here.

Yes, I was there for Stephen Hough’s Rach 3 performance. He played Chopin’s Nocturne, Op. 9 No. 2 in E-flat major.

I like the one at the watergate it’s a pretty reasonable price for what you get.

Sorry, I was basing my comment on your description that "Little was going 76mph down Florida Avenue, NE in a stolen van attempting to evade police", which I interpreted as meaning that police were chasing him. I'll remove my other comment above.

We'd need more information, I think. Police in DC have a pretty high bar for what merits a chase, and if he was armed & dangerous or something akin to that, imagine how the public would be crowing if they let him go and he then injured or killed somebody. Catch-22.

Raise taxes. Or cut spending elsewhere. I bet we could cover the cost of running a train out and back for less than it costs the state of Maryland to own and operate a single police helicopter.

Hey at this point I am willing to believe anything about the justice system in DC. Especially the license being restored
robotnique t1_jdx6a8h wrote
By all means, he should be able to vacate his plea and get slammed with a harsher sentence.
I'm not a fan of the carceral state, but this action screams of "I have neither learned anything nor have any remorse for my actions." Therefore I have no issue with him trying to back out of his deal and potentially getting slammed with many additional years.

By our rules, they'd have to do it on our premises in order to bar them for this behavior.
Don't get me wrong, I want nothing more than for Kirk Cameron to keep his clown car packed up and detour around DC, but I do want people to understand that the staff at the library have our hands tied when it comes to this.
It would take a decision from high-up administration, as in at the level of the Director, for us to turn them away, and would likely require the media relations people to coordinate with the Mayor's office to prepare for the tizzy conservatives would throw over it.

I’d argue the money saved from less people using highways (far far more expensive to maintain then rails) would in the long run cost the state and DC less money.
