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.

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.

The progressives have utterly devastated order and policing in D.C. The progressives have placed us all (including our children) at a high risk of violent criminal victimization. The progressives has ruined the ability of ordinary citizens to safely use public transportation; specifically Metro.

But do not pretend the progressives are only in D.C. progressives rule the MoCo and PG counsels too. And Wes Moore follows the progressive agenda.

These elected officials need to be recalled, impeached, or otherwise removed from office before we can even begin to undo all the damage they have done through lawmaking, regulation, and restrictions on our law enforcement officers.

Hyperbole much? We use the metro every day. My kids take it to and from school every day in the school year (for free). They use it to go to movies and museums with friends. When was the last time you used the Metro in DC?

Insurance companies are leaving red states in droves. People can not get HO insurance in Florida because there are so few insurers left.

Insurance companies are leaving anywhere FEMA would have covered in droves.

HO insurance is impacted by weather.

Auto insurers also pay out on cars damaged by stray gunfire. Was a real problem when I lived in Columbia Heights.

Why would you say that? Such a dumb statement. How could you possibly know that?

DP. I think people really took note of how progressive leaders dealt with crime in the covid/blm era. And it made a huge impression during that time. And it's going to be difficult for Democrats to get back to being trusted. People don't trust Democrats at all when it comes to public safety.

Yeah, voters would definitley be better off voting for the authoritarian fascist party that is willing to use the military against US citizens on US soil on trumped up nonsense. That's much more "trustworthy" public safety. Eat a huge helping of human excrement.

And leader spent all of 2022 denying there was even a problem and doubling down on failed policies. It's why 2023 had so many murders.

Maybe instead of juvie, we call it "boarding school" or military school. I have a good friend who credits his life to military school. He says he'd be dead or in prison if he hadn't gone. They took him out of a bad home with no food and gave him strict teachers who cared about him. Seems like none of these parents care about their kids and would willingly send them off. In the article one says to send them to juvie even.

It is now understandable how penal colonies were created. Perhaps there is an island in Alaska where they can be sent.

How about we send them to Fairfax or Bethesda?

+1 Many of the posters on this forum promote those progressive ideas.
