You know, if crime is actually down 30% in your city, it's not likely that your police force has ever had to give out instructions for how to avoid getting carjacked - just putting that out there, D.C.

The reality is that D.C. has been cooking the books on crime statistics so as to appear that they're taking care of their city and, more importantly, their citizens.

About that ... yeah, no.

This is sadly hilarious:

Brent Scher (@BrentScher) ~ This was advice circulated by DC police in 2021 for how not to get carjacked. My favorites: never drive alone, only drive in the center lane, and avoid traffic.

Only drive in the center lane.

Avoid traffic.

Holy Hell.

They might as well have just said not to drive in D.C. at all to avoid getting carjacked.

EpsteinListDidNotHangItself (@tinleyharrier) ~ Nothing about staying strapped?

This is D.C. we're talking about, but we wondered the same. Nothing about being armed?

Yeah ... being well-armed and having plenty of available ammunition is actually the first, and most important, bullet point on the "Be Prepared List."

Parker Thayer (@ParkerThayer) ~ Remember when the DC AG tried to blame Hyundai and Kia for making their cars too easy to steal?

That's RIGHT. They wanted to blame car companies instead of the thug a-holes carjacking people in D.C.

EL OH EL.
