Part 2/15:
In recent discussions, US Attorney Janine Piro delivered a fiery rebuttal to media claims downplaying the crime surge in Washington, D.C. Piro, a seasoned prosecutor, emphasized the significant resources allocated to combat crime and highlighted the stark reality faced by victims. She criticized the narrative that crime is decreasing, pointing out tragic examples: a mother whose intern was shot near the Washington Convention Center and a young man beaten with a severe concussion and broken nose. Piro’s passionate defense underscores a growing frustration with mainstream media’s attempts to downplay the city’s escalating violence, especially considering the decades-long rise in crime since the 1960s.
