Car Jacking update: 12yo arrested in DC

[Anonymous]

These stories remind me of the prohibition era technique of having little kids run the numbers or deliver the booze the "last mile" with the knowledge that period was the most dangerous. When the police did arrest the "little miscreants" they would get a slap on the wrist or a smack on the but and be released a few hours later.

Just trying to keep warm. It was cold on Thursday. Hard to blame him.

That is absolutely tragic for that kid. 12 is really young.

Yes, it's sad that he has caused such misfortune. Happy day, he was apprehended! Hopefully Charles Allen has some justice reform ideas for how to turn this child's life around before he is released.

It is a sad commentary on our society that we have armed 12 year olds.

This is horrifying. What will this kid do if he doesn’t get his life turned around soon?

Also, totally off topic, but how is it that someone posting for ABC News doesn’t know the difference between carjacking’s and carjackings?

Yeah, no. Don't think school would have stopped this. Probably recruited by older gang members to take the blame when caught. School is not going to fix that.

I feel like it needs to be pointed out, that he did not legally purchase that weapon. Just like he did not legally purchase the vehicle. He should be charged with both.

The point is: where and how does a 12 year old get a gun? That is a huge social problem, not only a "this kid" problem.

No, the point is that it's clear you think gun control would fix this kind of problem. I won't. Horrible people who illegally obtained guns, put the gun in his hand.

But if there weren't literally. hundreds of millions of legal guns, guns would be much harder to come by. They simply don't have these problems in countries where guns are banned.

Ridiculous that you don't think gun control would change access to guns at all.
