Murderous broken, damaged, children in crisis who have been failed by a society filled with injustice. Operative word: children. Which is why, rightly, no one is throwing away the key. Or should we go back to child executions of the Jim Crow era? Maybe just execute children in the street like in Brookland?

Time to go on Drizly and get some delivered

Carjacking is an incredibly dangerous crime. It leads to people dying from traffic accidents as victims panic and try to get away.

This girl has been convicted twice of carjacking, the second killing a father delivering food to make ends meet for his family. She'll be out in 7 years.

What an awesome person you are!

My (step) daughter goes to a program called college track. It helps children who would be 1st generation college students navigate 4 years in HS and prepares them to apply for scholarships and colleges and then helps them for 6 more years. Like helps them navigate college and then after college in looking for employment or furthering their education. It was started by Steve Jobs’ widow. Any donation would help more than one child. Or I mean…. My (step) daughter is still applying for scholarships! I’m not above asking for help.

• step is in () because she lives full time with us. So to me, she’s my child but I am not her biological mother.

Revolving means they come back in again.

That doesn’t really sound like an exit plan.

Not if you've threatened someone else's life, or worse, actually killed someone.

Not to excuse them, but there's this perception that these kids actually have "parents" in the first place. In many of these households, the fathers are either absent, dead, or in prison. The mother, if she's actually involved in the kids life, is either struggling with multiple jobs or dealing with their own mental health/addictions. Which leaves it to the grandmothers and aunts to provide whatever supervision they can. Anyway, DC's "juvenile justice" system has been broken since the '80s for a number of reasons and was basically run under a court order for 35 years. https://dcist.com/story/20/02/06/after-35-years-d-c-will-finally-have-control-of-its-youth-rehabilitation-services-again/

That’s exactly what I was referring to

There has to be both a punishment and a prevention plan.

But also exit plan, hence revolving door

If I recall correctly, the week heading into St Pat's is the last week this area historically has gotten any snowfall of measurable height in a generation. Using a weather outlook guide, which I'm aware isn't accurate but it's better than nothing, the last shot DC has stands to be next weekend where the low is just close enough to the line to permit a reasonable dip and the slow moving rain arrives a day late.

Pardon my horrible meteorological skills but I would not be surprised if the individual 50% chance of a 0.25" precipitation at 32-35F lows over Friday/Saturday decided to marry themselves into 1" of snow, although I wouldn't bet it. Would be nice, though.

Yeah the data he got shows that a big majority are held accountable. Whoops lol.

I imagine part of the issue is the literal hell they live their lives in. Years ago I clerked for the Superior Court of Georgia and spent some time in their juvenile court system. The single biggest predicting factor for delinquency was lack of support from their caregivers and their broader community. For most, their single caregiver worked two jobs or had several other children to manage. Many didn’t even have an adult to be present in court. Most kids were poor but not all of them. Most were black but also not all of them. They were just about all kids who had pretty shitty lives. They weren’t working towards college or looking forward to the rest of their lives. They knew they were screwed already. Eventually they snap and have an aggressive outburst in class or they challenge police. I think it’s just to feel like they can be in control of just one moment of their own lives. Like they can have some kind of effect, even if it’s negative.

When their lives have so little hope and everyone in their immediate surroundings are either violent towards them or trying to take something from them it shouldn’t be a surprise when some of DC’s kids act the way they do.

Nah, go outside and drink at a bar. Some of us still have to work 🙃

How big is your living space? They do sell WiFi extenders if your house is sufficiently that big. Most routers these days have pretty decent range, enough to cover the footprint of most rowhomes here.

I think they are referring to December where the high was like 14-17 a few days

Yeah, totally climate change. Super scary.

I knew I should have got a six pack instead of a 40. 🤦🏾‍♂️

If your kid is arrested for carjacking is there a CPS investigation or no? I know it is terribly underfunded. I hate when I agree with Newt Gingrich but maybe he wasn’t that far off with his Boys Town idea. I don’t know how else you break this cycle. These kids need help and stability, safety and hope.

The city commissioned a report that found most violent crime is committed by a very small number of people.

https://dcist.com/story/22/02/18/majority-of-dc-homicides-driven-by-small-group/

”In Washington, D.C., most gun violence is very tightly concentrated on a small number of very high risk young Black male adults that have a shared set of common risk factors,” says David Muhammad, the executive director of the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform. “This very small number of high risk individuals are identifiable. Their violence is predictable and therefore it is preventable.”

I presume the problem doesn’t suddenly begin when someone becomes an adult, so that tracks what with your friend observed.
