A Washington, DC, 13-year-old juvenile was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking of a federal officer in Northwest on Saturday, according to police.

The tragic incident is representative of the soaring crime in the District:

A total of 760 carjackings occurred in the first ten months of 2023, police data show.

Sixty-five percent of those arrested for carjacking are juveniles.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, who is responsible for prosecuting those D.C. police arrests, prosecuted only 56 percent of those police arrested in 2023.

Police said Vernard Toney Jr. tried to carjack an off-duty federal security officer around 10 p.m. Saturday but was killed during the incident. The episode took place on the 600 block of D Street NW, near 7th Street, in the Penn Quarter area, NBC4 Washington reported:

Think “thrills”, not “profit”. These little hood rats are not yet up to thinking about economics (why, the check from the “man” is in the mail every month anyway!).

Jack the car (easier than breaking into a car and hot-wiring it - that takes skill!), ride around for while, and dump it.

True, I'm laughing.

I wish there was a way to take all of this criminal trash and dispose of it somewhere where we do not need to guard, support or confine it. The world would be a better place.

If he had been held accountable for the carjackings he did when he was 12, he might have been in a juvenile “camp” but he would be alive today. Personal responsibility needs to return to the USA.

The younger ones are an even bigger threat. They need incarcerated until they are elderly. Criminal scum needs treated as scum and not as potential assets to society. In California they have taken to using stolen cars to wreck into others and then robbing the victims.

Until society gets the comprehensive bxlls to demand many more aggressive police or organize an armed vigilante society as was done in the old west this is only going to get worse. The leftist Dems and BLM set the stage for this.

These kids are convinced that “because they are juveniles” they won’t go to jail.

NO ONE has told them they will go to The Morgue, instead.

Pretty sure their “profits” are in the adrenaline high they get by doing it in the first place.

NATIONWIDE S S S is around the corner

I wonder if this is escalation of the Kia Tik Tok thing? Stealing a car has gotten boring and nobody watches those videos anymore - so now they have ramped it up to car jackings to get more views?

China is pretty clever using an internet app to destroy America.

Carjacking should be a capital offense, it is a modern equivalent of horse thieving.

A lot of the screaming done about the approx. 6,000 lynchings that actually took place in the U.S. ignores the large percentage that were of white horse thieves. Stealing a horse was a capital offense in the 19th century.

“…natural comedic ability and loved to make people laugh, especially when”

His FAFO is making a few of us chuckle.

A horse thief was leaving his victim at the mercy of the elements and whatever else might harm him. Same is true of carjackers.
