[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Atlantic covers [b]Maryland area[/b] carjackings.

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 i[b]s 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.[/b]

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.[/quote]

It's DC and PG county (Ward 9). These are the same people. Most of PG county residents are from DC families. Once Marion Barry hired DC natives for government jobs, they used that boost to the middle class to move to PG county. They still act like they are from DC and interact with people from their old neighborhood . The carjackers are the grandkids of those newly ,middle class PG county residents.[/quote]
