RI Congressmen, Cicilline & Magaziner, Vote to Decriminalize Violent Crime in DC

House Votes 250-173 To Block DC’s New Soft-On-Crime Criminal Code

Washington, DC’s city council – over the opposition of the mayor – approved a looney measure that moves toward decriminalizing violent crime in the nation’s murder capital.

Good news: Republicans in the House were unanimous and they were joined by 31 Democrats to overturn the law. One Democrat who voted “yea: was Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota. She was assaulted in the elevator of her DC apartment building several hours before the vote.

Bad news: of the 31 Democrats who voted “yea”, Rhode Island’s David Cicilline and Seth Magaziner were NOT among them.

The measure now heads to the Senate, where there is expected to be an illuminating floor debate on where Democrats stand on fighting crime.
