I think someone above posted a link to an article as evidence. The article said that the activist kids met dc politicians at Ben's chili bowl and talked about a PSA lol. Every cop working those precincts knows that a vast majority of residents are apathetic and oftentimes part of the problem. They also know that these underlying issues are deep and some after school program or whatever isn't going to change anything.

I live in Anacostia and there is a strong no snitch culture. People fear retaliation. And yeah, most on this board do not care about these victims or the many others who die with barely a sentence about their violent deaths mentioned in the news. This 16 year old serial killer should be huge news.

It should be, I think the point people on this board are making is it should be and we do care. Like the mansion murders, this should not be considered "another day in the life..." in DC!

Not using the latest casualty as a rhetorical tool to suggest the protests against police violence is an over-reaction when, in fact, such violence is a different manifestation of society’s indifference to black lives.

Oh, I know. Let’s make murder and violence illegal. That will fix it.

But no one marched for any of his victims.

Do they matter?

You have no idea whether anyone has marched for his victims because you have probably never set foot in any of those neighborhoods. I can tell you that residents are constantly protesting the violence in their neighborhoods. It is very likely that people have marched for his victims.

It is sad that your only apparent interest in this string of violent deaths is to exploit it for your own ends. I am not sure anyone cares about your fake concern.

Guess who also never steps foot in that neighborhood or tries to lift it up: successful black folks.
They just ignore them and never talk about it.

Of course they learn nothing when there are zero repercussions. Cops routinely arrest the same people over 20 times for all sorts of serious crimes because they keep getting let out. They have to arrest one man crime waves over and over and over again.

This is your DC. You asked for leniency in sentencing and a less policing. Have fun drowning under your expensive mortgages once the insane crime waves take over.

Liberals simply can't understand the fact that evil and evil people in the world exist who should locked away forever from civilized society.

I see we’re about to nationalize this model everywhere as well. Law and order OUT: Mob rule and crime IN.

I didn't ask for that...the problem in DC is our representation is overwhelmingly San Francisco liberal. Whenever a Republican runs I vote for them just to have some variety of views, but they of course don't win. This is why I am grateful we don't have statehood and from time to time, Congress intervenes. We need that check on our city council and Mayors fantasies sometimes. I wish more would happen with juvenile justice; it's a mess. The subject of many Post exposes.

This 16 year old has likely had trouble all of his life. If you read his school records, they will tell you. I am sure his teachers and probably even parents reached out for help several times. This is surely not the first time he was arrested. His probation officer probably saw an issue too. This is probably a case of mental illness for sure but schools, law enforcement, his family and the juvenile justice system failed him. And the sad part is that part is that there are many more kids out there like that. His school records probably strongly reflect that.

They didn't fail him. There is nothing in place for him. the DC youth rehabilitation laws are incredibly lax with basically a revolving door as petty crime escalates to serious crime. They plea down gun charges for example (in a city that clutches its pearls over legal guns, illegal are A-OK). They lock up and release kids without adequate supervision with dizzying speed. Kids get a clean slate at 21, without the social work and education they need to be functioning adults. The Post has done MANY exposes on our lax youth justice programs. We simply have nothing in place, so no one is failing. There's no there, there.

That's a cool story but I'm going to be willing to bet a LOT of money that the parents didn't do anything at all, if there even are parentS involved.

According to the newspaper article, the crew he belongs to hearkens back to crack war days of DC. Not in any way clear if his parent is/was a member. However, this is the 3rd gen in this crew.

There are many troubled kids. Many don't turn into *homicidal* serial killers. Stop make ng excuses.h
He was released because of COVID.

Thank you, Jeff.

Black lives are a rhetorical weapon for conservatives like this.

And they have been so since at least the time of Lee Atwater. Violence in cities is just a wedge issue conservatives can use to stoke the fires of white identity politics.

So black lives are just an abstract “wedge issue” to you when they die of urban crimes, even as no doubt you claim it is the worst tragedy in all of human history when a black life is taken by police, because that is your preferred political wedge issue?

A life is a life

So if the officer in Floyd's case. And look what we have.

Fact: The ONLY reason we know his name for these DC crimes is he is being charged as an adult.

Fact: Councilmember Charles Allen's Second Look Act of 2019 proposed that any crime committed before age 25 should be up for review for early release, including rape and murder.

Wow, just wow.
Why do we need these monsters on the streets sooner?

If I am reading this correctly, I think Ian Desmond, former Nationals player wrote about one of the victims in part of his long post about racism and social injustice. If I have the wrong case, apologies.

The worst thing is that these monsters don't always just stay and continue to brutalize their own liberal communities that insist on letting them loose. These criminals can and do end up committing crimes in other cities and even states as well. It's one thing if people just needed to reap what they sow, but it doesn't always end up like that.
