As it should be. If someone is robbing you by force, or your home, you have every right to use lethal force as a countermeasure. This is just common sense. |
The recividism rate for youths in community detention is a lotttt lower than youth held in confinement facilities. Prisons & jails just make things worse. |

The should have at least been held the maximum 72 hours before arraignment. This is a very serious offense and thankfully Maryland is not DC. There’s no Youth Offenders Act that will give them a slap on the wrist. |
? Self defense is now a crime. Who knew. |

This is why I moved to Virginia. When we catch car jackets we throw them in the Onion. Or shoot them dead because we stand our ground in this state. |
It sounds like the parents weren't doing a good job controlling their 14 year olds in the first place. Why will they do better this time? Why is the judicial system okay with people pointing guns at others? Have you ever had a gun pointed at you during a crime? |
Exactly. 11 AM on a Tuesday and they were committing felony assault and car jacking with a gun instead of being in school. |

The General Assembly just passed a series of bills that makes it more difficult to both question and detain juveniles for crimes.

Insanity. |
That’s not his stand your ground work , you can literally have a parking space situation and shooting is legal. Or be walking to your dads with skittles and a hoodie and be shot legally. The murder rate in red states is way higher than any liberal state. Also, let’s talk suicide by gun in red states. |
I agree. And our crime rate will continue to increase. I really hate the all-or-nothing "reform" that progressives engage in. These issues are much more nuanced. They should have continued to allow for detention, while still building out services for better placements. Most juvenile justice involved kids aren't committing horrible offenses. But there are definitely those who do -- who are a true danger to the community. And now we have tied our own hands. |
Clearly safer for the rest of the kids in school that these fine young scholars were not present. |
