At least they were civic minded enough to take public transit to Rockville. Making good use of DCs Kids Ride Free program. They should be commended. |
You need to be defending yourself from death or serious injury. The problem with states that don’t have stand your ground laws is it increases the chances that someone legitimately defending themselves will be charged with murder because an overzealous prosecutor can play Monday morning quarterback and argue you could have fled. In many self defense shootings the victim has 1-2 seconds to react. Placing the burden of retreating on the victim will increase the likelihood that victims of crime will attempt to run away when it’s not in their best interest and could lead to them getting killed. The burden should not be on the victim to run away, the burden should be on the violent thug to not threaten someone’s life. That’s the point of stand your ground. |
+1. Plus it’s just a deterrent. Criminals need to know that if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes, and they should be scared for their life every time they try to commit a criminal act. |
Good |
I personally feel that being grounded is a little light for carjacking. But the people making criminal justice policies care much more about the offenders than their victims, so that’s just how it’s going to be. Watch your back, the government does not give a crap about crime victims. |

Yeeeeee-haaaaa!

Until it's someone you care about who's victimized. |
You could also take their Xbox. |
No. They don't. Even though it's usually the marginalized communities they purport to help. |
Agree. They are still children, and they need an immediate consequence. They should be put on a rocket docket and tried ASAP. |
I agree with you and I’m pretty socially liberal. I simply don’t get this stuff. This self flagellating approach to tackling crime. As if it should be allowed because sold folks had it rough and so they’re owed this layer of protection when they cause violent crime. Honestly, legalize drugs. Legalize prostitution. But if you attack someone, I’m sorry but you need to be taken off the streets. It’s the same thing with education. If it’s too hard, progressive liberals just want to lower the bar to let people pass. Where does it end? I hate Fox News. I think it’s comically lopsided toward right wing idiocy (they even dumb down the style of reporting to use less big words), but I can feel myself agreeing with the newspaper on these crime related stories. Whether it was that situation in Brooklyn where the ladies dog was killed and she had urine thrown on her. Or reading about Chesa Boudin and other progressive liberal das…where does all this “woke” nonsense lead? To a less safe, less well educated America. |
Damn autocorrect “sold” was “some”. |
Good for not deterring crime. Yeah, Baltimore will be safer because of this. |
According to DCUM standards, you are a “closeted MAGA republican trumpist” for speaking out against democratic policies. Just FYI. |
