As usual the public is policing for the police and not getting paid.

Hoping you mean, “pray to god [you]… DON’T HAVE to use it”

Cause the way you wrote it makes it sounds like you’re jerking off with the same oil you probably don’t use to maintain your gun.

Doesn’t dc require you to register pepper spray as a weapon if purchased in Dc? So how is that incident labeled as “unarmed”

I think the laws have changed in the past few years. It used to be that if you purchased in the district you had to register it. When I first moved to Dc I tried to register it at a police station and they had no idea what I was talking about.

Now, however, I don’t think you need to register it and it’s lawful to carry for self defense only.

It’s possible Amazon hasn’t updated their restrictions to match current laws.

Here’s Sabre’s website with outdated info

Y’all still complaining?? The police did their job and made an arrest. Isn’t that what is supposed to happen? Y’all complain for complaining sake.

I like that even on the posts about criminals being caught we all get to still argue about prosecution and or age/socioeconomics… You’re not solving any problems but y’all sure do like your opinions!

I’m all for doing things differently but as is the only reforms that seem to happen across the US is police and justice system reform.

They are at the back end of the problem and cannot just be dropped and have enforcement minimized without following through on more comprehensive changes that result in people getting to that layer of the issue in the first place.

Either confirm or disprove the slap on the wrist narrative

Good morning, I've lived in DC for nearly 15 years. I started coming to Reddit to learn about incidents that were happening in my neighborhood. I always found it useful. Unfortunately, it's a topic that many people are thinking about these days.

Sorry, not buying it. I'm guessing you're on the payroll of Faux News, the Faily Wire, or one of the constellation of Koch-funded "think tanks" or "non-profits", and part of your job is to foment unrest in the sub as part of your "social media/web producer" job.

But yeah go Ahead and Believe we are all innocent and this kid is just bad inherently and he should just be locked in prison so you can feel better about not wanting to force change in society to raise better children.

But yeah dog. It’s all on him and his parents let’s not think any further than that

He learned it from parents, friends, peers, or violent criminals he sees in the media and has been taught to respect and mimic.

99% of people in society aren’t violent carjackers.

Deterrence requires a cost benefit analysis that children do not do. Making laws more and more draconian will therefore not help. Rehabilitation is not remotely possible at current spending levels and I don't think we're willing to do it at any spending level.

Serious serial offenses (like multiple armed carjackings and robberies) should automatically disqualify from being tried as a juvenile. The only possible leniency should be able to be realized conditionally via a plea deal based on information that actually results in arrest and conviction of the people he got the gun from, as well as the people who he was planning to deliver the stolen vehicles to. No arrests and convictions on those, no deal.

Were you not capable of reading a list of people who are responsible for influencing the kid's behavior? Or did you deliberately decide to ignore it?

Unfortunately it happens often. Read up on the Youth Rehabilitation Act, which allows judges to disregard sentencing guidelines, can expunge the records from public record, and now can be applied for offenders up to age 25 because the DC Council raised the applicable age range.

This 23yo, who was on probation for armed offenses, had an illegal firearm that was misplaced, ended up paralyzing a 4 year-old girl and he got sentenced to 18 months + probation after leaving her to die while he went to hide the gun instead of helping her.

The YRA and other similar criminal reform laws are often constructed with good intentions but all too often sentencing leniency in the District is granted to repeat offenders, violent crimes, or crimes involving a firearm. Excluding gun offenders or violent crimes from the YRA or asking for transparent public records isn't a crazy ask from our community.

Who told you you had to be white to promote Eurocentric view I just told you my theory whether you agreed or not that what I am interested about. I am African. I meet Africans in Africa that truly believed in the superiority of the white race. I am lucky enough to have experienced the world and grew up around a large variety of people from all classes and religion.
