A guy who hates DC JUST SAID on television that he doesn’t wear his seatbelt because he’s afraid of carjacking (which makes negative sense, by the way) so I hope these guys are on the lookout for him.

Also what is this going to do to improve the city? What this does is create a traffic snarl.

My apologies to Stepehen Miller. I thought his characterization of DC as being worse than Baghdad was veering on exaggeration, but then I heard about these possible broken taillights.

It’s so darkly funny that their idea for policing a city where half the adult population doesn’t have access to a car is… traffic checkpoints.

Yes. Much more than L.A. (but less than New York), it’s a walking city, which means you stop all these cars and what you get is partly people who are out walking who stand around objecting.

White people's fear of carjacking is way or of proportion to the actual risk. In my lifetime, the two most famous "victims" were lying to hide their complicity in murder. (They assumed it would work, because they believed it was the kind of crime that happens every day.)
