Karl Racine and Charles Allen should maybe at some point be asked the tough questions about the rampant juvenile crime in the District.

They should focus on the rampant inequality that exists in the city/country and the rampant lack of opportunities for people in certain communities.

They do. There are programs galore. Summer programs. Snap benefits. Ebt. There are services. At some point, the soft bigotry of low expectations needs to end. Where is the accountability??? Fking stop killing people.

THISSSSS

hahahhaa yes, because people who kill aren't scared of murder laws, but fear and abide by truancy laws.

Yup. And these kids who murder and carjack would be *totes* sitting at a desk with their hands neartly folded in front of them if those meanie, meanie teachers had JUST GONE BACK INTO BUILDINGS OMG!!! And "truancy laws" are consistently enforced in the godawful schools where kids like these are involved, when a large percentage of kids just don't show up on any given day. There is a endless supply of truant officers and the courts have plenty of time to deal with it daily.

You've figured it out, privileged, white DCUM moms! Oh, and if pretending to care about these kids gets your own kids into schools, which is the real goal, then so much the better!

Idiotic.

DP. Can't they do both?

These kinds of responses to discussions about increased violent crime are getting really old. Lack of opportunity and inequality are issues that should be addressed, certainly, but they are not excuses for criminal behavior. There are plenty of people who face inequality and lack of opportunity but don't kill people while trying to steal their cars.

So basically you are paying lip service to inequality, but when rubber hits the road, you are going to ignore it and throw the book at two young teens who almost certainly haven't gotten a single break in life and will have any chance at a decent future disappear with a jail sentence that will only harden them further.

Unbelievable. And his family is supposed to just supposed to shrug their shoulders? I'm sick of non-violent law abiding citizens having to pay for someone else's upbringing with their lives. That goes for every race, religion and creed. I'm sick of it!! And to lose your live to a little peer-pressured pishika 13 year old FFS! You know what? Too bad. Her mistake should cost her her life . In jail. Or maybe her mom's life for raising a monster.,

Well, thankfully the DC Youth Act makes sure that bloodthirsty tendencies of people like you will not be enacted and we won't just toss away two young lives for a mistake that went far beyond what they intended.

Wait, so the people who killed an innocent man aren't "bloodthirsty" or didn't have "blood thirsty tendencies" but the people calling for justice have "bloodthirsty tendencies" according to you?

You are effed up. Completely effed up backwards.

Guess what, I had a sh!tty childhood without support. I was alone, with one parent dead and the other parent with mental illness. Guess how many people I killed? Also guess how many times I so much as stole anything from anyone as a teenager?

No, they weren't bloodthirsty. I've seen no evidence that they had any intent to hurt the driver. In contrast, someone saying a 13-year old's "mistake should cost her her life" absolutely is blood thirsty.

where is your concern for the victim's family? Remember them? How about his life and future and plans?

And will throwing the book at these poor girls in any way help the victim or his family?

That would be very unlikely to occur and that wasn't remotely their intent. When we decide whether to toss away the lives of two young teens, we should look at what they intended to do much more than the end result.

Stop with the misinformation!! The DC Youth Act doesn’t apply to these 2 because they cannot be tried as adults!!

They had a weapon. A man died. A hardworking father and grandfather who recently immigrated here. Do you not care? For those reading this post who DO care, there's a go fund me for him to help pay for his unexpected funeral.

I'd be willing to contribute to that cause. That will help the family and do some actual good. Punishing these girls won't.

What is your suggestion? Let them go free?

Not immediately. They should serve some period of time in a confined setting, partly for punishment but more importantly for intensive counseling, education, and other efforts to try to give them a fighg chance to salvage something of their lives.

And you realize that since they are being charged as juveniles you have pretty much described the max they can get?

No. There is not school now. And this reality is growing our crime rates. How do you not know that schools are still closed?
