If D.C. doesnβt get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that theyβre not going to get away with it anymore.
The man that committed one of the worst crimes in DC in recent history, who made sure 1,500 of his fellow criminals would go free, says criminals like him and his friends aren not going to get away with it anymore.
