[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come people aren't talking more about this...looks like it was 6pm. Is this normal? I am often in that area with my kids at that time. [/quote]

Well, the car jacking at Rockville Town Center a few weeks ago was at around 11:30am and I barely saw much about it on the news.  The high school was on lockdown.  But kids from RM go hang have lunch at Town Center often.  They caught the DC teens who did it near Rockville Pike/Gude Drive later.

I guess it is the new normal.  [/quote]

The teens carjacking is an epidemic. I think it’s because teens want a car, and they’re hard to steal now. They want a car with a key, and that means carjacking someone. It’s so dumb and they have no plan except to ride around and then ditch the car. They’re too stupid to realize how easy it is for someone to get killed. We need the car companies to come up with technologies to prevent this ASAP. There needs to be a fast way to disable and recover the car. Possibly also we need dash cams, although I was on a carjacking jury where the stupid kids took their own pictures of themselves in the stolen car, then posted them to social media. So the level of idiocy is extremely high. [/quote]

I think it’s darker than that … teens carjack cars as part of an organized crime ring, so the car can be sold or used in a crime. sometimes joyriding, but my money is on organized crime for teens coming from DC to carjack in Rockville. [/quote]

Correct. Stupid kids joyriding is rare. Most crimes have a financial incentive.
And I agree that criminal activity in Montgomery County is influenced by the complete mess that is DC right now. This is why we need federal gun control.[/quote]
