Karl Racine and Charles Allen should maybe at some point be asked the tough questions about the rampant juvenile crime in the District.

They should focus on the rampant inequality that exists in the city/country and the rampant lack of opportunities for people in certain communities.

DP. Can't they do both?

These kinds of responses to discussions about increased violent crime are getting really old. Lack of opportunity and inequality are issues that should be addressed, certainly, but they are not excuses for criminal behavior. There are plenty of people who face inequality and lack of opportunity but don't kill people while trying to steal their cars.

So basically you are paying lip service to inequality, but when rubber hits the road, you are going to ignore it and throw the book at two young teens who almost certainly haven't gotten a single break in life and will have any chance at a decent future disappear with a jail sentence that will only harden them further.

How do you know the man didn't try to do this? The two children who murdered him were not old enough to drive and almost certainly did not know how to properly operate a car.

Stop blaming the victim.

It's not blaming the victim. It's trying to live when criminals don't care if you live or die.

You're kind of naive. There are some teens who already know how to operate a car, or will try to operate a car even before they have a license or any driving experience. It happens a lot more than you realize.

Not throwing the book at these girls solves nothing except encouraging more crime. Doesn’t help anyone.

They are 13 and 15 they aren’t going to jail. But if you are 13 or 15 and you are roaming the city armed with a taser looking for the opportunity to commit a crime, be it robbery or stealing a car, just sending you home with a pat on the head and some family counseling is not enough.

Unbelievable. And his family is supposed to just supposed to shrug their shoulders? I'm sick of non-violent law abiding citizens having to pay for someone else's upbringing with their lives. That goes for every race, religion and creed. I'm sick of it!! And to lose your live to a little peer-pressured pishika 13 year old FFS! You know what? Too bad. Her mistake should cost her her life . In jail. Or maybe her mom's life for raising a monster.,

So are we considering this an Anti Asian hate crime?

What is the age at which a person who grew up with crappy parents, failing schools, and systemic racism is responsible for their own actions? 15? 20? Never? If a person who has had no opportunities has children at 15 who then grow up with no opportunities and have children at 15 who have no opportunities, at what point in the chain does anyone have any real agency over their lives?

I understand the problem and I understand these kids have been failed by society, but what is the solution? Other than somehow removing toddlers from their parents to break the cycle (not happening, obviously) how do we actually change things? I would bet my 401K that neither of these girls are performing at grade level in school.

Your anecdotal attempt at victim-blaming isn't working.

Also, stores and super markets dont want to open. Why? Because loss orevention and danger. And how the heck are you supposes to score a return ride in a taxi from your vaccine afternthis? But "equitists" like Charles Allen demand travel and services in these locations without offering security solutions. I feel so sorry for this guy, just trying to answer a call/do the right thing.

This occurred right near Nats Stadium, in the middle of the day. This is hardly a no go zone.

I think if you spoke with taxi drivers, uber drivers etc. you'd be surprised how many places they find truly frightening to venture. Yes, this is probably not as scary as some, but guessing they'l be thinking twice now. Ans then, "we have no transportation". The city needs to focus on inequity AND security. With security, you CAN have nice things. Poor man, poor family.

hahahhaa yes, because people who kill aren't scared of murder laws, but fear and abide by truancy laws.
