Tell her to find the other women in the car and sit next to them. The car can be half empty, and I always sit next to another woman, or if I was first a woman usually sits next to me.

Let me guess. The kid’s punishment should only be ‘grounded for the weekend’ since he’s a juvenile and his parents should serve life sentences for attempted murder right?
The gun he used should get the harshest punishment of all since it was the one that caused the harm.

So when that story came out about a 6 year old bringing a gun to school in Virginia, were you rooting for the kid?

True, I met a great man (finally) on the apps. Happy I didn’t meet him at 23, I was a mess back then!

I’m sure an ‘assault weapons ban’ would have prevented it from ever happening

Carjacking and motor vehicle theft are separate crimes nimrod, they’re literally broken out separately

Yeah, it would be much better if middle schoolers could legally carry guns to defend themselves.

Crime is not down. A reading of crime stats with an intended outcome might tell you violent crime is down, but that’s only because carjacking is counted as auto theft in the nonviolent category.
Overall crime is up 20%, according to a Georgetown crime apologist.

Hmm, as a Celtics fan in DC I guess I average out to somewhere between the Pacers and Hawks…

Find me an armed robber in DC who got 8 years. A guy got 82 months (<8 years) for murder last week.

Isn’t there just fewer single people in their late 20s compared to early 20s?

This is the third rail, because the “catch and release” model hasn’t exactly worked, but consigning a child to incarceration is a last resort. Of course, “last resort” doesn’t mean it’s never an appropriate consequence.
