D.C. residents and local business owners addressed Congress in a hearing Thursday about how the crime surge in the city has put their lives in danger.
Washington D.C. crime victims appeared before the U.S. Congress this week to express how dangerous the nation's capital has become in the last year. During the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance hearing on Thursday, several D.C. residents and small business owners described their harrowing experience of the rising crime wave in the city, which has surpassed last year’s crime figures.
Victims, including Valor Brewpub owner Gaynor Jablonski, told Congress about dangerous criminals in the city. He presented lawmakers video of him being threatened at gunpoint by a DoorDash driver in front of his own small children. After showing the video, the pub owner recounted, 'As horrific as that video is, what happened after was even worse. He gets eight months and I’m left explaining to my 5-year-old why I had to fight this man.
