Fact: The ONLY reason we know his name for these DC crimes is he is being charged as an adult.

Fact: Councilmember Charles Allen's Second Look Act of 2019 proposed that any crime committed before age 25 should be up for review for early release, including rape and murder.

Wow, just wow.
Why do we need these monsters on the streets sooner?

But no one marched for any of his victims.

Do they matter?

You have no idea whether anyone has marched for his victims because you have probably never set foot in any of those neighborhoods. I can tell you that residents are constantly protesting the violence in their neighborhoods. It is very likely that people have marched for his victims.

It is sad that your only apparent interest in this string of violent deaths is to exploit it for your own ends. I am not sure anyone cares about your fake concern.

Thank you, Jeff.

Black lives are a rhetorical weapon for conservatives like this.

And they have been so since at least the time of Lee Atwater. Violence in cities is just a wedge issue conservatives can use to stoke the fires of white identity politics.

I am sure his teachers and probably even parents reached out for help several times. This is surely not the first time he was arrested. His probation officer probably saw an issue too. This is probably a case of mental illness for sure but schools, law enforcement, his family and the juvenile justice system failed him. And the sad part is that part is that there are many more kids out there like that. His school records probably strongly reflect that.

That's a cool story but I'm going to be willing to bet a LOT of money that the parents didn't do anything at all, if there even are parentS involved.

Anonymous wrote:Because DC is run by Democrats. It's the same story in Baltimore. Far left loony judges and politicians let out hardened violent criminals with a slap on the wrist. Of course they learn nothing when there are zero repercussions. Cops routinely arrest the same people over 20 times for all sorts of serious crimes because they keep getting let out. They have to arrest one man crime waves over and over and over again.

This is your DC. You asked for leniency in sentencing and a less policing. Have fun drowning under your expensive mortgages once the insane crime waves take over.

Liberals simply can't understand the fact that evil and evil people in the world exist who should locked away forever from civilized society.

Not using the latest casualty as a rhetorical tool to suggest the protests against police violence is an over-reaction when, in fact, such violence is a different manifestation of society’s indifference to black lives.

I think someone above posted a link to an article as evidence. The article said that the activist kids met dc politicians at Ben's chili bowl and talked about a PSA lol. Every cop working those precincts knows that a vast majority of residents are apathetic and oftentimes part of the problem. They also know that these underlying issues are deep and some after school program or whatever isn't going to change anything.

I live in Anacostia and there is a strong no snitch culture. People fear retaliation. And yeah, most on this board do not care about these victims or the many others who die with barely a sentence about their violent deaths mentioned in the news. This 16 year old serial killer should be huge news.
