Carjackings are on the rise in our nation’s capital.
Leaders in the District have their hands tied trying to find a solution.
Right now, the issue is glaring. Carjackings are up 104% in D.C., and police say that volume is overwhelming.
Alarming statistics show more than 800 have occurred so far in 2023, compared to a little over 400 at the same time in 2022.
Dowling told FOX 5 that there are often a lot of repeat offenders.
D.C. police data reveals that 66% of arrests involve juveniles.
The current D.C. law makes it difficult to hold young people accountable for their actions.

Instead, I believe that the city’s leaders want there to be as much carjacking as possible.
Because why else would the city keep releasing the same carjackers again and again and again?
For all practical purposes, carjacking in Washington D.C. has been decriminalized.
At least none of these yutes has to go home and face their fathers after what they did...
Especially if carjacking involves the use of a gun, the "kids" should be kept away from the public until a trial and then tried as an adult and sent away to a prison.
When you let them get away with their first crime, there will be a second, and a third, and a fourth.
“...the city keep releasing the same carjackers again and again and again...”
Not just carjackers either...Most democrat run cities release just about everyone who commits a crime and is not white...
They need to ventilate a few.
They need to say juvenile records will remain open, just like adult records. It is ridiculous that they haven’t done that. Or at least until they have not committed any more crimes for a certain amount of time.
How could this be? They get caught, tried, convicted and go to prison or juvenile lockups. We’re all safe.
Oh, wait. They get admonished, let go without jail and get ready to find new victims.
So-——Democrats———you vote soft on crime policies and we all suffer for it. We’ll remember you.
I read somewhere that even in big cities if we arrested a few hundred of the worst habitual offenders and threw the key away, or shot them, it would eliminate a large % of serious crimes.
And if we did that every year crime reduction would become permanent, it might take a while.
But that would be cruel and inhumane to them…screw the innocent victims I guess.
In the old west hanging was the punishment for horse thievin. Should be the same for stealing a car. That would end it quick.
💯
And I understand now why they were so harsh about it. If you steal a person or families ability to travel you basically take their rights away. Almost all of them.
And 90+% are of one particular racial persuasion.
Make that a bunch.
Institute Saudi Arabia punishments.
"Drinking intoxicants is punishable by 80 lashes. There is also theft (punishable by amputation of the hand); illicit sexual relations (death by stoning, or 100 lashes); making unproven accusations of illicit sex (80 lashes); apostasy (death or banishment); and highway robbery (death sentence)."
Note how theft calls for amputation of a hand, and highway robbery gets a death sentence. However, even Saudi Arabia is reforming some laws regarding punishment, that curbs the death penalty for some child offenders. Maybe our judges can take lessons from Saudi Arabia.
