Why would we treat children as adults? this doesn't make sense to me and never has. If there needs to be more stringent consequences for violent juvenile crimes, that's fine (and I do agree we shouldn't be letting offenders off). But juveniles are not adults and should not be "treated as adults." That's messed up.

Do adult crimes, get adult time.

Define "adult crime"- this is silly. Obviously a juvenile can commit any type of crime. If these crimes are not sufficiently covered under the juvenile penile system, that system needs to be reformed. It simply doesn't make sense to say a 16 year old is an adult. A 16 year old is not an adult. Should a 16 year old do "time" for car jacking? Sure. But that doesn't make him/her an adult.

Kids crimes: Shoplifting candy. Smashing mailboxes. Doing donuts in the parking lot.

Adult crimes: sticking a gun in your face and driving off with your car.

+1 I don’t want kids sentenced to years in prison for shoplifting or getting in a fist fight at school but come on. Armed carjacking? That’s an adult crime and they need adult prison sentences.

How can average citizens get these laws changed that allow for catch and release?

I'm tired of hearing about the poor criminals. If their parents/guardians can't keep them off the streets/out of jail, they should be placed in an environment where they get mandatory therapy and education/vocational training and kept away from the rest of society until they can control their violent impulses. Call it juvie or give it some other name, but there need to be consequences. Catch and release doesn't protect society, doesn't teach anything, and doesn't improve any of the circumstances that led to this violent criminal thinking it's ok to go carjack people at gunpoint when they are still too young to even drive legally. It's stupid.

Notice how the car-jackers rarely drive in to Virginia. Also, if it's children that are stealing these cars then these kids need to give up the names of their adult gang leaders or suffer severe jail time. Someone has to serve major time and I would rather have it be the gang leaders, but if all you can get are these low-level teens, then so be it, let them see what real jail time looks like.

I think the only way is to vote R all the way down ticket in every election. I don’t know when or why the Democratic Party became synonymous with catch and release, but it’s the same all around the country. I think the party needs to be sent a message that we the people want safe communities. Not just safer, but safe!

Masks also need to be completely banned. There is no good reason for a teen or really anyone to be walking around the streets in a hoody and a mask unless they are up to no good. I don't care if you call it "street fashion" - it's not. It's a way to evade capture.

If you need a mask for a medical reason, there should be nothing on your head. And DC is never cold enough for ski masks.

That's interesting, because I, personally, believe it would be more effective to control guns than to control people's clothing and mask choices.

Is this a joke? It is DC-area carjackings. It is principally a crime that has spilled over into Maryland due to DC’s lax on crime policies, which the article does a good job explaining.

The article focuses on the difficulty that PG County PD have in policing this crime along the DC-MD border due to jurisdictional issues.

It also does something that the progressive activists never do, centers the victims and went into some detail about how this affected a family and the limited repercussions and criminal penalties that were enforced, including in PG County courts.

Wow you are such an idiot. When was the last time you were right about anything?

Carjackings and car thefts are up significantly compared with the number of incidents before the pandemic, prompting fear and calls for action in many American cities.

Motor vehicle thefts increased by 29% in 2023 compared with the previous year, while carjackings slightly decreased by 5% in nearly 40 American cities, according to the Council on Criminal Justice’s most recent crime trends report. But between 2019 and 2023, both car thefts and carjackings increased dramatically, by 105% and 93%, respectively, according to the report.


The five cities with the highest year-over-year increases in motor vehicle theft between 2022 and 2023 were Rochester, New York; Baltimore; Buffalo, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Cincinnati.

Guess the “progressive” activists have a big impact in Texas? Oh no! Your made up boogie man does not exist!

Texas ranked 10th in the nation for auto thefts per capita last year and Dallas had the fifth-highest number of car thefts among U.S. cities. More than 18,000 vehicles were stolen in Dallas in 2023, an all-time high that represents a dramatic surge from the year before and made motor vehicle theft Dallas’ most common crime in 2023, according to the Dallas Police Crimes Analytics Overview.

Car thefts in Texas are the second highest in the nation

CW33, By Abbey Bowling, October 30, 2024

DALLAS (KDAF) — Over one million vehicles were stolen last year, a record-breaking number that has skyrocketed since 2019. This trend especially disadvantages Texas, which ranks second for the most stolen vehicles in the past year.

The MarketWatch Guides team analyzed the newest statistics from the Insurance Information Institute to better understand auto theft trends nationwide.

In the Lone Star State, the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land region had the fourth most car thefts out of all major US cities and saw a 7% increase from 2022 to 2023. Similarly, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington had the fifth most car thefts (34,000) out of all major cities, and this rate increased by 13% last year.

Are you, oh knowledgeable one, aware that major cities in Texas are run by Democrats? Sorry, still progressive politics.

So you are saying if you commit a crime in a city in Texas that has a democrat you get off free? Guess the state police and sheriff department just go along with that? You do not even make sense.

Why do you hide behind cities and democrats when you mean blacks and immigrants? Dude you won. Why hide your racism any more?
