Sorry but in DC even if you catch them doing something like this they will be out and on the streets again in 24 hrs or less especially if they are under 18. Until DC decides to get serious about keeping low level criminals and dangerous people with mental health issues away from the public things aren't going to change, just be thankful that the last bill didn't pass or else DC would have really been in more trouble. If people don't think they will be any consequences for their actions they have no reason to stop their actions.

I'd also add that the biggest mistake this country made was when Reagan closed down all the government-run mental health facilities in the 80s. These people need to be locked away in asylums and given treatment, so they won't be a danger to anyone else or themselves.
