[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting article re: why DC teens are carjacking

Thanks, that's informative.[/quote]

I believe last year Charles Allen claimed people were carjacking because the weather had turned cold and they wanted to warm up?

I'm not even going to read this--

Violent teens in DC get away with too much (I've worked with them). They should be asked to complete a 'series of wickets' in order to be released when locked up. Not just good behavior. A GED - a precondition might be literacy and general education classes. You'd be shocked by how many of these kids read at a 3rd-5th grade level. A manners class (just threw that in to hear the outcry). Computer skills. Other job training, especially what we call 'trade' which can be highly gainful employment.

On release all kinds of things should be looked at... are they going back to the same neighborhood? Best if they don't if theres any autnie or grandma they can be funnelled to. Job or school lined up? Supervision? More conditions to meet?

Society would be doing them a favor, as they'd live longer and happier lives. But instead we treat them like fruit flies. Anyhoo.[/quote]

I think Bowser's bill tried to address the "same neighborhood" issue but was dropped by Pinto as a non-starter. Your proposals are sensible. The current approach is resulting in record numbers of shot and dead black kids, but as long as the Council and AG keep up all the deflecting rhetoric the public goes along. [/quote]
