#8  Gotham will remain lawless until The Joker, The Riddler, Cat Woman and their hordes of minions are in jail. This will take some time as many of them are on recess.

...DC becoming a state would result in something that makes California look downright Goldwater conservative.

There's another thing to keep in mind as well - a DC state would be a one-party state with an army in the form of the DCNG. And you gotta believe that there are Dems out there literally salivating at the thought of being able to surround a GOP-controlled White House or Capitol with Democratic Party controlled guns, or blocking access to those structures.

#6  Ref #4: "The National Guard will deploy over 6,000 guardsmen to D.C. by the weekend."

D.C. National Guard not mobilized? Perhaps a question which should not be asked.

RETRO: 'Non-scalable' fencing erected around Capitol, security ramped up after mob attack

"The National Guard will deploy over 6,000 guardsmen to D.C. by the weekend."

#3  I think it's time to just put the entire District inside a military zone and let MPs handle it.

#2  Hint, ....
Possible Solution.

De-politicization of the DC-PD. and a return to a true court and justice operational system.
