DC Council passes emergency crime bill amid sharp rise in violent crimes
Emergency public safety bill includes elements of controversial crime bill that Congress overturned

By Bradford Betz | Fox News

The D.C. Council on Tuesday passed an emergency crime bill aimed at giving judges more leeway as the city grapples with a sharp rise in violent crimes.

Ahead of the vote, Council of the District of Columbia Chair Phil Mendelson said, "You can get away with murder in this city."

The statement was a notable pivot from comments he made in March, when he suggested that the "perception" of high crime was overshadowing the reality on the ground.

"I know this belies the common belief – and when it comes to crime, how people feel is important – but there is not a crime crisis in Washington, D.C.," Mendelson said at the time.

The new bill increases penalties for various offenses like firing a gun in public, strangulation and carjacking. The bill also makes it easier for judges to keep violent crime suspects in custody while awaiting trial.

But will the bill be enforced? yogi555

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Wouldn't this be considered racist?
