I'm a big proponant of not fighting back if someone tries to steal your property --- but even I might not give it up right away to children. I'm sure I've had kids say stuff like "Hey lady, give me your phone" and I've been like "Yeah, right, take a hike." You don't expect a kid to kill you for it -- you figure they are just goofing around.
I also once had a bunch of little boys threaten to gang rape me, and I ignored that, although I spent the next two days wondering if I should have lectured them about what their grandmothers would think if they heard them. If they had been adults, I would have called the cops, certainly.
You never had friends from another city 2 years older than you? What bubble did you live in that you go straight to thinking gangland?
DP - but I think the part where there are two young teenage girls who are committing an armed carjacking is probably why she was thinking gangland. I mean, I guess they could be friends from church.
Like the ATlanta gun man, good churchgoing bad day boy?

If the two of them planned together to carjack a car and thought to obtain a taser without the help of others, then there more hardened than the Stanford atty poster suggested.

Jokes on you. I am a lawyer. From an elite institution no less. The scariest part (at least from your perspective) is that many of my classmates share my views on the criminal justice system and these views are gaining more power in liberal cities such as DC.
I left that part out because it likely isn't true. There is every reason to believe they didn't want to steal the car through violently harming someone. They wanted to steal the car, most likely preferably without any violence. That this isn't how it played out doesn't change their intent going in.
No, the joke's not on us. The really sad, cruel "joke" is that people like you give kids permission to think that they have an excuse for bad behavior, instead of aiming high, doing their best in school, and trying to stay out of trouble. The cruelest "joke" is that their lives get ruined by their criminal behavior. Furthermore, your way of thinking is insulting to the many people who grow up in extreme poverty but don't commit serious, violent crimes.
How old are you (and the classmates) that stated the bolded? Kids for the past 20-25 years have not been allowed small failures which help teach them how to handle (or preferably avoid) large failures. I'm just curious if the idea is catching on because accountability is so foreign to your generation.
wtf? do you actually believe these girls did tjid because they “weren’t allowed small failures”? that if only they had been given a more free-range childhood they wouldn’t have violently carjacked and murdered someone? actually sounds like they were pretty free range.

Monday afternoon - isn't there "school" - where are the parents/guardians?
No. There is not school now. And this reality is growing our crime rates. How do you not know that schools are still closed?
