From the reports I have heard from people in DC, most of the NG is deployed on and around the Mall . . . no where near the high crime areas in DC. I continue to believe it is a test. Trump wants to test the waters on how far the MAGAts are willing to ride with him on militarizing major cities (which happen to be the blue dots on election return maps) in advance of 2026 and 2028. So far, the MAGAts have demonstrated they continue to be blissfully ignorant. Mike | |||

Why don't they go in and root out the gangs? I bet there would be some shootouts. Isn't that what some of them want, the ones with itcy trigger fingers? Give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a house full of buffalo shit. | |||

Not all the guard. I talked to a teacher friend. She's a Filipino teacher in Brentwood. She has been going in to get set up, and noticed a big reduction in the street corner toughs. The kids that have come in to school early to help, are much less stressed she said. She has hopes for a good start for students. But, she said the only time poor kids count is when political points can be made on them. | |||

Since when was the NG deployed in Brentwood?  | |||

Outskirts Mike, She drives in. It's the northeast part of DC. Still DC, ward 7 or 8, I forget which. | |||

Should I have called it metro area? I dont understand why the confusion, it's part of DC. | |||

Another tough google search would tell you that there are no NG troops deployed there. "There are no specific reports of National Guard troops being deployed in the Brentwood neighborhood of Washington, D.C., as of August 27, 2025." As noted previously, they're deployed around the Mall. Where, again, as noted previously, the crime wave is so prevalent that they have been deployed to pick up trash and rake leaves. | |||

I bet they are. How many gangbangers and drug dealers have they dragged off of the streets? Give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a house full of buffalo shit. | |||

Wrong, a google search shows they are in all the metro areas. Cant give you more specifics, as google didnt give me any, other than yes, they patrol there. | |||

I'm seeing zero reporting of any? You got something different? | |||

The photos I see show them picking up trash. Not arresting gang-bangers. I might have missed something. | |||

Worth every penny of the $2.3mm a day it is costing us.  >>>While the two-week effort has turned up guns and drugs, records from Washington’s Superior Court show it has also included federal agents converging in large numbers on low-level crimes such as marijuana use and public alcohol consumption, cases that have seldom been a priority for U.S. law enforcement agencies tasked with targeting drug traffickers and gunrunners.<<< https://www.reuters.com/legal/...offenses-2025-08-27/ | |||

Wonder how the statistics being touted by the Administration compare to the “normal” statistics. Disingenuous to attribute every arrest or seizure to the NG, when arrests and seizures were made before the NG presence too. Mike | |||
