Seven teenagers were injured in a fatal crash involving a stolen car in Maryland.

At approximately 5:25 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Aug. 4, police responded to reports of a “serious collision” between a Toyota Matrix and a stolen Kia Optima at the intersection of Great Seneca Highway and Clopper Road in Germantown, the Montgomery County Police (MCP) said in a statement.

“Officers located both vehicles with extensive damage,” said the MCP. “...The preliminary investigation determined that the white Kia Optima, reported stolen from a Montgomery County residence several hours after the collision, entered the intersection and struck a Toyota Matrix traveling on Clopper Road.”

The male driver of the Toyota Matrix died at the scene. Seven juveniles aged between 12 and 15, who were in the stolen Kia Optima, were injured in the crash, the statement added.

You have to get to the 4th paragraph to learn these "teenagers" riding around at 5:30am killed an innocent motorist. 12-15 years old, 7 in number, 5:30am. At first I just thought they were on their way to school early to get tutor help to ensure their success with academics and the future. Well, not really. My second thought was someone left the primate enclosure open at the DC zoo over night. Nothing ever changes, there is nothing new under the sun and there will be no outcry, no concern over this latest killing because there never is when these roles show up over and over again.

In American-soviet media-speak, "juveniles" means black.

Hard-working solo driver on his/her way to work at 5:30 am to earn money for his family, to help a parent or friend, going to school or church...killed by seven punk POS’s ages 12-15 who should be home in bed at 5:30.

Choking back tears.

This is obviously the fault of the Hyundai/KIa corporations for making their cars too easy to steal. /s

“A father of five on his way to work was killed after a 13-year-old driving a stolen car crashed into his vehicle in Germantown”

[Bon of Babble]

“The preliminary investigation determined that the white Kia Optima, entered the intersection and struck a Toyota Matrix traveling on Clopper Road.”

So, according to the media, it is the Kia’s fault.

Hope these killers are tried as adults - and their parents dragged into court and charged like that father in Georgia:

“Father sentenced to 15 years in prison in Georgia high school shooting carried out by teenage son”

Won’t happen b/c wrong race.
