The driver was booked for operating a stolen car. But the other four were released into the custody of their parents. That’s what really gets Black.
He rightly points out that the kids could potentially break in and steal another car immediately. After all, when there are zero consequences for doing that, what’s to keep teenagers from being recreational or even professional thieves?
In fact, there are car theft rings which actively recruit kids as young as 8 to boost vehicles. They do this because they know the youth won’t spend time in jail and get a slap on the wrist, enabling them to keep thieving.
As for Black, he’s had his eyes opened to something many don’t want to acknowledge. His Kia has been totaled, a common thing for a recovered stolen car, and now he’s facing financial fallout. He believes the teens should be facing consequences commensurate with the crime, otherwise he’s not being served actual justice.

BLOAT.....
Waiting for “law” to give proper consequences to criminals stealing your things, raping or murdering you? It’s hard to fathom the psychological damage to the innocent victim, their friends and families caused by criminals. You can’t put a price tag on it.
I wonder ... what’s his political party? Did he vote for this lawlessness?
Enjoy the wonderful world of liberalism pal.
Old West...Car = Horse...
Where are the parents?

High speed chase.
Those teens could have killed somebody.
These are the same morons that voted for Prop 47 and nodded their heads yes, yes when activist pushed their false George Floyd narrative and defunded the police and elected Sorso DA who have turned their justice systems into crime promotion scams that openly take the side of criminals and punish the normal members of society.
Meanwhile, Sacramento police warn Target it will be fined for “public nuisance” if it keeps calling cops when it gets robbed...
They should require that both parents be present to pick the kid up.
Kids will be in jail for a long time while they try to locate dad.
They should at least be required to steal a comparable car to replace the car that was totaled.
Long past time to bring back the Whipping Post for the young criminals.
Or dig him up

Some people have trouble knowing right from wrong at an early age gee wonder why.
Although the article doesn't provide any details, GAP insurance is something to consider when taking out long term auto loans for just this reason..
The old west would immediately find a tree and a rope. 2024 you pat the thieves on the head and send them home to rinse and repeat, lesson never learned until a judge has enough guts to send them to prison when they’ve advanced to murder. The buck stops at the judges.
The “parents” are often the crime family leaders.
What far too many professional politicians and unelected bureaucrats in positions of power and authority think and act is the other way 'round: They are far more concerned with the psychological damage to the criminal, their friends and families caused by the innocent victim who wants justice.
Callous b@stards, the lot of them!
