Pipe down MAGA.

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.

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.

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

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.

And there’s also something virtuous about standing up for black criminals than victims, even if they are also black.

Blows my mind that children on bikes in bike lanes were run over, and the WABA/cycling crowd has nothing to say.

This is like when the NRA is silent when the police kill a black man merely because they were spooked by the presence of his 100 percent legal firearm.

They weren't just run over too. Did you read the story how they were bullied, intimidated, and then run over? These are grown ass men threatening children and then going through with their threats. Absolutely sick minds that should be in jail for life.

If a vehicle is large and fast enough to cause this much damage, why aren’t they required to have insurance? Motorcyclists need insurance, no?

And if you don't have insurance, you get a ticket?

Anything with a motor should require license, registration and insurance. E-bikes are basically the perfect getaway vehicles for criminals.

Certain minorities don't have access to licenses.

I might make exceptions for certain e-bikes like those that don’t go fast or weigh much more than a regular bike.
But certainly vehicles weighing more than a certain amount of being capable of high speeds need to be licensed.

Many minorities, particularly African Americans and Hispanics, face significant barriers to obtaining government-issued IDs. Studies show that approximately 25% of African Americans and 27% of Hispanic adults do not have a driver’s license with their current name and/or address.
