Seriously where are the mayoral candidates on this? If this child, who has bleeding in the brain and a spinal injury, had been hit by a car, they'd be up in arms.

Rini Sampath tweeted: "This is horrible and completely preventable. ATVs are illegal on DC streets, but the city has policies that make enforcement nearly impossible. The result is lives put at risk and innocent children getting hurt.

I'm done watching the city treat this as an unsolvable problem. As Mayor I'll fix the enforcement gap, work with MPD on a real confiscation strategy, and put a stop to this lawlessness once and for all."

It's also strange how silent the car haters/WABA crowd is. These kids were on bikes, in a bike lane when they were run over.

Ah, yes. Just like after school shootings, it’s never a good time to talk about solutions because that would be politicizing it.

Seriously, what is the deal with that?!? The bike lobby is the most reliably strident, annoying, and unapologetically bike-safety-focused advocates going and this hit and run involved kids of all things. Have they really drunk so much of the liberal culture kool aide that they are going to go full hypocrites on safety?

THAT would get the message across faster than anything. I'm just surprised this situation hasn't happened more often. So sick of the excuses our progressive city council people have made about this issue. Would love to hear what Janeese "all a criminal needs is a hug" thinks about this.

janeese would say that teenagers illegally riding atvs on city streets is a culture that we must respect

Enough of her “hug a thug” shtick!

But we tried locking up a generation of Black men and it didn't work. How do you know hugs aren't the answer?

The problem is we locked up a lot of them for low-level drug offenses like simple possession. We also locked up violent criminals, which was and continues to be a good thing.

It's simple. The perpetrator was of the wrong demographic for the WABA/DSA types to care about it.

I did not expect them to turn out to be even more loathsome than I thought.

I think this is directionally correct but you're missing a key component. That demographic is able to rouse the WABA/DSA types to action when their negligence and willful disregard for the law manifests when they're behind the wheel of a car.

I think they're unable to this time around because of the importance of dirtbikes and ATVs to the, uh, "culture" of a that certain segment of DC residents. Anything pertaining to the "culture" of longtime residents is a third rail for them that they dare not touch, lest they expose themselves to accusations of colonization and gentrification.

There's a segment of white liberals who are afraid to criticize someone who is black for anything at all, including running over children with illegal ATVs. They tend to support Janeese Lewis George who opposes anything that results in a police officer arresting someone who happens to be black, regardless of what they did. That's why they're all silent about this completely horrendous incident.

This seems like a huge opening for the other candidates, especially Kenyon.

The extra sad thing is the kid who was run over is also black. How about supporting law abiding black families who are just trying to raise good,productive members of society? What about his parents? Don't they deserve to have justice for their black son?
