It’s DC. They’ve been protecting these teen thug carjackers for years.

It's Maryland, actually. That's where the kids arrested for this offense are from.

This has not been verified and is not in the official MPD press release on the incident. Only two attackers were arrested, two 15 yr olds (one male and one female, both from Hyattsville).

Here is the MPD's statement:

https://mpdc.dc.gov/release/mpd-makes-two-arrests-swann-street-attempted-carjacking

That is not true. The police report said officers observed approximately 10 attackers.

Again, not verified. People often do a bad job of estimating things like this (the number of gunshots, the number of people present, etc.). Yes, even cops. The ultimately arrested two people. We have know idea if the other people present were attackers or onlookers at this point, and the fact that they scattered when the cops showed up is not evidence of guilt, but is to be expected.

I have seen wild speculation about the number of attackers and the nature of the attack on Twitter and would just caution people to wait and see how it unfolds. You weren't there, you don't know.

The police stated # of attackers was 10, dummy.

Wrong. Teen boy and girl were arrested.

Not wrong, read the police report. While the police were only able to arrest two, there were others there who fled quickly. About 10 in all, according to the police. Again, read the police report before commenting.

DP. The police report is vague. It states that cops saw "approximately" ten people standing around a car "and attacking" the victims. This is a vague statement. Were all ten people attacking? Were some just standing there? Were some yelling? What were they yelling (were they egging the attackers on or were they upset? We don't know, and it's actually possible the cops don't even know. They saw a group of kids, some of them were clearly attacking this guy, most of them fled when the cops showed up, and two were arrested and IDed by the victims as attackers. The police report was drafted without any investigation, just a brief ID and statement from the victims.

We don't actually know what happened.

Good grief. You people will make excuses for anything.
It was not vague when it said "a group of approximately ten juveniles surrounding the complainants' vehicle and assaulting C-1."
It did not say "approximately two people." It did not say "approximately five people." And it did not say "only two individuals were assaulting C-1."

PP here and I'm not making excuses. I'm a lawyer. This is a crime, and at present, there are exactly two suspects and no hunt for additional assailants, only witnesses.

Some of you also don't seem to understand that a police report is a first draft, and this one is particularly short and vague.

Obviously Big Balls (good grief that name) was attacked and he has identified two people as his attackers. Those two people have been arrested. There were a number of other teens present and they fled when the cops arrived, but we do not currently know if they participated in the attack or not. Ideally we will find out. If at some point the MPD releases a statement that it is looking for additional assailants as identified by the victims or the two suspects, or that they have video footage of additional people attacking the victims, I will agree that there were however many number of attackers.

As of right now, we know there were two and that there were additional teens present. That's all we know. Some of us live in the land of fact and what can be proven, instead of the land of what is most fun to talk out of our a$$es about on Twitter.

Oh I see MAGA live in car dependent suburbs, so they don’t appreciate how this is a “ Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”. And he’s 19, he can’t even go to bars. Does he live on U Street? Make it make sense.

Lowlife gutter punk criminal splashing his stolen money around got some street justice.

I don't see how this is a political issue at all. Clearly the parents of those ten teenagers are completely derelict. In a healthy society, those ten teenagers rampaging at 3 AM and hurting people would be put in juvenile detention for a good long while. And both the mother and father would have their wages garnished to pay for it.

Problem solved.

But we have a mayor and city council that encourages this crap. After years of this, I suspect a majority of the DMV would welcome a federal takeover of the city.

Agree.

I posted earlier. I live in the neighborhood. Less than two blocks away. Been here 15+ years. Have never once been a crime victim, violent or nonviolent. Neither has my spouse or any of the tenants who have rented our basement apartment over the years.

Why? We’re not idiots, that’s why. For starters, you don’t stand around your car on a street as dark as Swann at 3 am on a Saturday night. That is insane behavior. Yea, yea, yea — I’m blaming the victim. Whatever. That victim is blaming half of you for government waste, fraud and abuse — and he isn’t discriminating either. He thinks you’re stupid. I think he’s stupid. He thinks you had it coming — I think he had it coming.

Wow. You don't have young adult children, so you? And you're obviously not a young adult yourself.

As much as I warn them, this is 100% something my late teen/ early 20s kids would do. They would think nothing of it. Because, if you can remember that far back, at that stage in life you believe you're invincible.

Agree he/ they are stupid. But to say they "had it coming" shows what a horrible and out of touch person you have become, PP.

And some of us would like to live in a society where you can get in your car without being assaulted and carjacked.

But you do you.

The "they had it coming" people are pathological and morally sick. But it does explain why so many folks in DC just don't give a damn. And it's because of the cynicism and coldness of so many DC residents that a federal takeover is increasingly likely. The crime that progressives take as normal is not normal for the vast majority of human beings.

The parents need to be arrested.

This stinks to high heaven.

If this wasn’t staged, I will eat my hat.

AKA exactly why DC needs to be federalized. The city is simply incapable of fixing itself.

This is the capital city of of supposedly the most powerful nation on earth. People shouldn’t have to live like the VC, the Taliban or some drone strike could be around every corner.

See, you’re wrong. I have adult children and none of them were that stupid ever.

How would this be staged? He hired them to attack him? It was his buddies in black-face?
