Washington officials reported 215 murders so far this year. Quite an increase from the 157 homicides in 2022, as shown by police data.

Safety Fears Prompt Overnight Stays
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) disclosed that he and other unnamed lawmakers are taking refuge within the Capitol because they perceive D.C. as “very dangerous” at night.

Lawmakers, including Burlison, are opting to sleep in their Capitol offices, citing their reluctance to navigate the unsafe streets during nighttime or early morning hours.
 
Burlison voiced his concern about commuting from D.C. apartments, stating, “It’s not a safe environment,” thus motivating him and his colleagues to stay within the Capitol’s secure confines.

Pretty soon they'll have to put up a permanent wall around the perimeter.
Call it the "new Kremlin"...

Kind of ironic -- DC is no longer safe because of the liberal DEM policies.

If it's not safe for the hoi polloi, should it be safe only for the elites?
