super cool that the nation’s political press want to speedrun the 90s juvenile crime panic without anywhere near the actual reported crimes
watching national reporters who live in DC do this is really embarrassing. no one speaking at this conference was raising a legitimate issue.
Ken lost his mind over the Afghan withdraw, not how it happened or anything, just that it did happen and he lost his thrill seeking vacation spot where he could play act being at war.
These kind of stupid panics make it impossible to address the things that are actually a problem. DC does have some problems (like every town on earth), but all of this idiocy is only going to make it worse.
Super ominous that they’re doing this right as Trump is using this as a transparent pretext for grabbing more unilateral power.
Excited for a reboot of The Knockout Game
Frankly I’m worried the kids aren’t doing enough crimes. Noses are always in a screen.
It's also disgusting that the reactionary solution to crime makes crime worse and is being used to cover up their own crimes. Hate this dystopian crap.
It’s the apotheosis of all the local news crime panic stories. Completely disconnected from reality and not actually fixing underlying problems.
Oh sweet, I love reruns of the 90s hits. Wonder what they'll call "superpredators" this time
God dammit. F—ing racist scumbags.
When it's all pretend you can pretend whatever facts you want, I guess.
LeGiTiMaTe IsSuE, fuck you, you clown
“oh, you don’t care about crime?” no, no i do not, most major cities are experiencing historic drops in violent crime, no one raising this issue is doing so in good faith and they don’t deserve to be treated with any
Not enough children in prison for Ken.
Liberalism largely solved all the problems of the 90s through sheer momentum not major governmental shifts and the people to whom the 90s was their awareness can't comprehend that.
I mean crime is very real but almost no one is actually trying to address it in good faith at the national level … and in a highly federal system there’s not THAT much you can do besides throw money at a problem that at the end of the day had more to do personality and virtuous-ness than anything.
THEY’RE WILDING!!!
It is consistent with the current administrations policies. 14 yr olds are treated as adults, whether in DC or some private island in the Caribbean.
There's a MeToo part of this whole thing where the issue, if it exists, is "boys will be boys" and the solution isn't cops
Ken Delanian is a specimen of double-talk/wanna-keep-cocktail-partying journalism. Don't put him anywhere near a TV camera, he's nauseating.
so the subtext here is that there actually has been a spate of, like, jaw dropping juvenile crime that started roughly coincident with the pandemic; carjackings, this below. it isn’t totally clear what the drivers are and it doesn’t appear to be widespread
A judge sentenced a D.C. teenager to about three-and-a-half years for her role in the beating death of a 64-year-old man last year. Reggie Brown was battling cancer and weighed just 110 pounds when he...
How about they speed run wage theft instead?
Should there be some daylight between Fox News headlines and NYT coverage?
I would like to see more daylight
This video is what it’s actually about, and ffs, EVERYONE needs to be talking about this!!! The crime bullshit is just a cover for them to enable states to legalize child marriage, bypass age-of-consent laws in regard to child sexual assault. 4 states have already taken advantage of it. WTFFFFF

Someone should ask Ken when he stopped punishing his kids and the kids in the neighborhood with corporal punishment.
I really don't want the 2025 gatling gun version of A&E specials about super predators.
They use "crime" as a stand in for Black and Brown people they don't want to exist comfortably. Or at all.
