LinkLinksOpinion Deborah Simmons in The Washington Times: D.C. needs jolt from Jeff Sessions By Editor On Sep 26, 2018 45 Share The Washington Times reported on New Year’s Eve 2014 that “the city finished the year with 105 homicides, one more than was recorded in 2013 — a year that included 12 people killed in a mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard.” 2014 also was the year Muriel Bowser was first elected mayor of D.C. This week, six weeks before Miss Bowser is expected to be anointed by voters to a second term, the mayor and other officials announced that violence had claimed 119 lives since New Year’s Day 2018. That’s three more than in all of 2017, and there’s still a quarter of the year to go.
