Maybe they also got some recognition for a paper they wrote, a presentation at a conference or a study they did. LOL. |
Free apartments in Forest Hills no less. How many hardworking families in DC would love to have their kids at Murch/Deal/JR but can't afford the area? Rents would have dropped and were in the process of doing so before voucher programs put upward pressure for anyone who pays. I could not even watch this video. No way should the driver walk the streets for decades, at minimum. RIP to the victim and prayers for his family and friends. Why are kids who do the right thing and who are not violent never the focus? Why is it always about enabling antisocial, often violent behavior? Who does that serve? |
They have an agenda and public safety ain't it. |
This is an updated article.
The guy hit was an elderly man riding his bike in the bike lane. https://nypost.com/2023/09/16/retired-police-chief-was-intentionally-mowed-down-on-bike-by-teen-driver-disturbing-video-shows-hit-his-ass/ The press reported this as a "hit and run" for the last month. The video hit the web and the video is really disturbing. |
Notice derision and aggression is reserved for victims and those who genuinely advocate for them? This poster is just another spath spectrum shrieker bringing a "public health" "evidenced based" lens to juvenile crime. |
This is why I don't bike on roads, never mind with my kids. Too many disordered people have watched too much GTA, others are too busy texting to drive safely. Bike lanes of all types are dangerous. Those that have concrete barriers are easy to trap you in for robbery as happened to a friend in broad daylight. Those without concrete barriers are a joke, paint is no protection from a vehicle, nor are plastic sticks. |
I would bet my house that this kid had priors for which he should have been locked up. The biker, a retired cop, should be enjoying his retirement. |
Were you the victim advocate when my house was broken into by a 13 year old who not only stole money and vandalized my home but broke my cat’s hip? The one who gave me the sob story about this poor child who needed compassion? And so when we went to court we supported community service, only to find out that the kid had a rap sheet several pages long already and the judge wanted him locked up?? Are you that victim advocate? Because it didn’t seem at all to us as though you were advocating for the actual victims at all. |
We have more than enough people as it is. Why waste time and resources pretending we can “rehabilitate” those that are irretrievably broken? |
DCUM posters will want to give this kid a medal because "cats are nasty." |
Alternatively, isn't he doing society a favor by removing some of the excess population? |
"Road design issue." |
I'm curious why there was a video at all. They reported a "social media video," and I wonder if a friend of the perp was taking a video. |
Obviously not - unless you prefer to live in a society populated by violent criminals vs old people riding bicycles? Strange take. |
The working theory on DCUM is that old people are stealing resources from the young. Except in certain cases related to politics. |
