[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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,  :twisted: 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.

[b]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, [/b]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.[/quote]

Wow you are such an idiot. When was the last time you were right about anything?

Carjackings and car thefts are up significantly compared with the number of incidents before the pandemic, prompting fear and calls for action in many American cities.

Motor vehicle thefts increased by 29% in 2023 compared with the previous year, while carjackings slightly decreased by 5% in nearly 40 American cities, according to the Council on Criminal Justice’s most recent crime trends report. But between 2019 and 2023, both car thefts and carjackings increased dramatically, by 105% and 93%, respectively, according to the report.

The five cities with the highest year-over-year increases in motor vehicle theft between 2022 and 2023 were Rochester, New York; Baltimore; Buffalo, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Cincinnati.[/quote]

Guess the “progressive” activists have a big impact in Texas? Oh no! Your made up boogie man does not exist!

[quote] Texas ranked 10th in the nation for auto thefts per capita last year and Dallas had the fifth-highest number of car thefts among U.S. cities. More than 18,000 vehicles were stolen in Dallas in 2023, an all-time high that represents a dramatic surge from the year before and made motor vehicle theft Dallas’ most common crime in 2023, according to the Dallas Police Crimes Analytics Overview.[/quote]

[quote] Car thefts in Texas are the second highest in the nation

CW33, By Abbey Bowling, October 30, 2024

DALLAS (KDAF) — Over one million vehicles were stolen last year, a record-breaking number that has skyrocketed since 2019. This trend especially disadvantages Texas, which ranks second for the most stolen vehicles in the past year.

The MarketWatch Guides team analyzed the newest statistics from the Insurance Information Institute to better understand auto theft trends nationwide.

In the Lone Star State, the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land region had the fourth most car thefts out of all major US cities and saw a 7% increase from 2022 to 2023. Similarly, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington had the fifth most car thefts (34,000) out of all major cities, and this rate increased by 13% last year.[/quote]

Are you, oh knowledgeable one, aware that major cities in Texas are run by Democrats? Sorry, still progressive politics.[/quote]
The Mayor of Dallas is a Republican. Y’all made a pretty big deal about that a few months back.[/quote]
He is a Black man that was elected a Democrat and then switched to the Republican Party. [/quote]
