What is it about black-run cities and their affection for convicted felons?
In a perpetual comedy of errors especially embarrassing for a “black” city, the DC government has once again revealed its collective low IQ. With the cognitive adeptness of a gnat, the Metropolitan Police Department, charged with executing the law, hires criminals to guard criminal-infested schools.
The government’s dealings with the Watkins Security Agency (owned by Watkins Group, Inc.) are fraught with controversy. After a city auditor’s reported revealed that Watkins was the least competent among the contract bidders, the government — get this — retained Watkins to continue guarding schools through a series of short-term contracts.
That government schools require security guards is pitiful in its own right, but the people responsible for protecting students against thug students are thugs themselves. Ain’t skin color preferences grand? Our dead Civil Rights forebears, especially those killed on the front lines, would be so proud.
The brain cell-deficient politicians who run DC ought to hire smart people to turn its laughingstock “rule” into something resembling a well-run city. Can a black-run city ever be well-run? I’d have to answer that in the negative, especially after learning that DC replaced Watkins with Hawk One, another security agency that hires criminals!
In this age of terrorism, why would you hire anyone of any color or religion to provide armed protection without a criminal background investigation?
I spent months waiting for the U.S. Attorney’s Office to investigate my measly background before I could even enter the building! And as a law-abiding citizen, I can’t have a gun in DC if I want to remain law-abiding. But idiots who were locked up for preying on innocent people get their very own government-sanctioned firearms.
We’ve let the lunatics have the full run of the place.
