Disgusting. Apparently her mother has taught her that losing a phone is worse than carjacking / killing.


What about the fact that one had just been arrested 2 months ago for a similar type of car jacking. Why was she even allowed out of detention much less her house?

this was preventable.

Taser is a projectile. Stun gun you have to be close range.

NP here. A stun gun looks like a gun, and you need to be very close to the person you’re trying to stun in order for it to work. A taser is basically a rectangular shape device that shots a wire that attaches to the victim through which it sends the “charge”. So you don’t need to be as close and it doesn’t exactly look like a real gun like a stun gun does. Both are weapons.

Arming themselves would be consistent with reported previous carjacking experience. If true, why would a teen not be in juvenile detention, home detention, or ankle monitoring, etc?

Weakest troll comment ever.


I would say more prayer is not to the answer and probably contributed to this tragedy. Organized religion and Christian prayer was used as a tool during slavery era to control and subdue slaves and to make them passively accept their plight. Christianity taught them to be obedient. Christianity also advocates for no birth control and keeping kids in the dark about sexuality. Essentially, sex is a sinful act unless it’s done in marriage. These kids are the legacy of Christian induced slavery, the legacy of poor family planning, poverty, and probably fatherless homes. All Christianity does is exacerbate problems. Instead of prayer and intangible efforts, how about funding programs to help alleviate the effects of the legacy of Christianity and slavery?


You do know that there are very many different forms of Christianity?! Right?

You need more education and exposure. Come to the Episcopal church. Everyone is welcome.

I teach kids in DC. I see it. All this Social Emotional Learning that we are engaged in, Restorative Justice...I believe in it. We work tirelessly and I mean tirelessly to support our students in every way possible. You don't see it, but I do. Every day. It's an uphill battle of enormous proportions and still I see the utter lack of disrespect.

It goes against what I'd like to believe but I still think these girls need to be locked up.


NP here. I think your anger is misplaced. It seems like both you and PP you’re arguing with are both upset about what happened but you’re claiming the kid is in shock and the other isn’t. Who knows. I don’t think it’s worth going tit for tat. You’re on the same team.

Good lord, according to this investigator interview on Fox 5 one of the two girls (he doesn’t say which one) had been arrested in January for a similar car jacking.

A PP stated this, here is the link to the story. The officer is interviewed in the video, BUT WARNING first they show the actual viral video of the car jacking and speeding away.

You need to calm down. There is enough anger and rage in this area right now.
