The kids were 14! Fourteen!! That is crazy. Incredibly brazen. I guess school is optional for 14 year olds, since they were just hanging out at Town Center. |
Same here. My kids go to lunch at RTC also. Thanks for posting the link to the story, PP. |
Wait, the kids were released into the custody of their parents. Is that normally how things go? They knocked the victim into a concrete pole and tried to steal her car. What the actual F? This story is even worse than I would have thought. |
The kids were/are DC residents. So not MCPS kids. |
So, school is optional for 14 year olds in DC then? |
How would you like to describe it? Would it be better to say that is was a ‘most unfortunate incident’? I mean, say what you want, but the whole thing does kinda suck. A bunch of fourteen year old criminals from DC tried to carjack a lady at Rockville Town Center in the middle of the day, during broad daylight. Walking distance from the high school, and at a time when some kids might even be walking to RTC. Thanks to the MC Police Department for catching the criminals. |
And the City of Rockville Police too. |
| Wonder if these were the same kids that shot at the GDS students last week. If I recall correctly, those shooters were also wearing ski masks. |
It's the norm now. Anything they can do to avoid detention. I would hope they were on some sort of monitored home detention, but the article doesn't say. |
