Deployment of Troops

Matt Gagnon discussed the deployment of troops in Washington, DC, highlighting the irony of patrolling in the safe Georgetown neighborhood, where crimes, including an assault, were reported. He criticized journalists for claiming low crime rates, noting that crime occurs in all parts of the city. Gagnon recounted an incident where a man threw a sandwich at a federal agent, emphasizing the absurdity of politically motivated crimes. Scott argued that societal issues like education and family structure contribute to crime, suggesting that addressing these root causes is crucial for long-term solutions.
