I hope you did the second part and reported the incident to the guards higher ups with an arrest record. This would force the guards to actually do their jobs..

Most of them are. When I used to work at DuPont, there was also a black man who used to yell at people all the time no matter what race or ethnicity they were. Glad you reported it because mental illness is nothing to play with. And he may have been homeless as well.
I have had black and Caucasian (men and women) yell or say things to me. I just ignored them and kept it moving.

Just because they were arrested doesn’t mean they were prosecuted or charged. Most likely they were let go and the gun confiscated. Citizens need to pressure the USAO and judges to put criminals in prisons. It’s a small number of continuous repeat offenders that commit crime and they will do so until they kill and only then the judges will hand out sentences out of public pressure.

DC public schools ranked 49th in a recent nationwide ranking. How many of DC's more highly educated residents are transplants?

As stated, more police won't do that much. More police is kind of a band-aid solution to the problem. Some people with mental illness do need to be put in mental institutions as they're a danger to other people.
Making sure people pay their fare helps because someone who thinks it's okay to assault someone or steal someone's wallet sure as hell doesn't care about paying the fare. For some people, the fare can be a lot of money so they have to think about whether it's worth it or not.
Like I agree with this sentiment:
> Caring about profit is stupid, yes, but I’d argue that 99% of all crime and public hazardous drug use that occurs on RTD is done a person who did not pay the fare. > > Essentially, most metro systems use the fare not just to subsidize the cost, but also historically to prevent troublemakers from entering the system. For this reason, Denver is right to want to keep the fare and also enforce it.

Mutual aid.
Vote for politicians committed to poverty reduction.
That’s the only thing that will actually make a dent.

More police won’t do shit. We need the the prosecutors and judges to put criminals in jail and the mentally unstable into institutions. If they actually prosecuted crime we would be the safest city in America. It’s a small number of continuous repeat offenders that wreck havoc on our city and the USAO is at fault. Could you imagine 2/3 of the time police make arrests no charges are filed. It’s pathetic.

I’ve posted a single video of a prominent member of the house delegation that is exerting direct control over our ability to govern ourselves. I think that’s reasonable and far from an obsession.

Gestapo? Scooters litter the sidewalks, forming tripping hazards, making it hard for wheelchairs to get by and just generally making the city look uglier. Would love to see the city actually impound these trashy shitmobiles.
