Or we could take some common sense steps to make the possession of guns more carefully controlled. But yes, do go on with your "shunning" idea as a relevant solution to those mourning a 6 yo.


Guns are already regulated. This is about more than that. This guy should have faced some more severe consequences for his previous crimes.


And, shocker.... Police say he was known to the police.
I am betting he has quite a lengthy rap sheet.
The police chief is right. When the courts have a revolving door, it is hard for them to do their jobs.

When gun are used in crimes in DC, the AG allows for them to be routinely pled away. Why not focus your outrage on that?


+1. The problem is not so much with the gun laws. Most of the criminals are already using guns for their crimes that they aren’t legally permitted to have.


The problem is that the gun laws are not good enough. People buy these guns, legally, from stores for this purpose and are not held accountable. Having an assault rifle could require a license and insurance, and the insurance market could help regulate who has them. We could make the bullets traceable to the gun. We could have laws holding the straw purchaser accountable. But we can’t, because a bunch of idiots have Rambo fantasies as if their AR-15 would make an ounce of difference should they end up on the wrong side of the world’s most expensive military or even their local police who probably have a surplus tank.


I understand what you *think* you're going to achieve, but that ship has sailed. The time to ban all guns was 100 years ago. There are so many guns out there right now, that you could completely ban all gun sales to everybody and shut gun manufacturers down and there would STILL be more than enough guns for the criminals in DC to use. Anyone can find an illegal gun, usually for cheaper than a legal gun, floating around on the streets. There is no amount of gun laws any county, city, state, or the country could introduce that would remedy DC's gun violence.


Bullcrap.

Comprehensive background checks for private sales in DC, MD, VA.
Strict licensing & audits for gun dealers in DC, MD, VA.
Enforce lost & stolen gun reporting laws in DC, MD, VA.
Firearm registration in DC, MD, VA.
Permit to purchase in DC, MD, VA.
Gun buyback programs in DC, MD, VA.

In addition to revitalizing & rebuilding communities - education, jobs, healthcare, support for at-risk youth, etc.

I feel like the Facebook page must be some sort of parody.

Anyway, I'd be a little careful about doxing until you identify that the page genuinely is him.


Doxing? He was arrested for the murder a 6 year old girl.
Posts and comments spanning 2011 through 2018 depict piles of cash, bags and plumes of drugs, and a gun (2014).

It's very hard to change culture, but that's what's needed here. Just take a look at those Facebook pics.

Unsurprisingly, he was out on the streets despite armed carjacking and other weapons charges in PG County over an incident last year (per Maryland online court-case lookup).



6/29/20 - armed carjacking, armed robbery, theft ($1,500 to under $25,000), Motor vehicle/unlawful taking, unauthorized removal of motor vehicle, rogue and vagabond, transporting gun on a roadway, transporting a handgun loaded with ammunition



He was from Waldorf, MD, apparently.

What the actual F is going on? People need to be way more outraged then they are, IMO.

I just heard on WTOP that there was an arrest in this case. Nothing about this though.

Why would the Facebook page be parody? These sort of images are par for the course for many DC-area teens.

I actually had not even heard this horrible story and I keep up with the news fairly well. I cannot believe this did not get more news coverage (versus the Nats shooting). This is horrendous.

I watch morning and evening local news everyday/. The death of the 6 year old was mentioned a day later after the shooting at Nats game broke.


Don't watch local news, but it was in the Post prior.
