There is no such thing as vigilante justice when living in an area with no functional judicial system. It's well past time for Bernie Goetz to defend his community again.

Gosh... I wonder why...?Kids in the Crosshairs: Juveniles are being arrested, shot at escalating rate in the DMV
A concerning criminal pattern has emerged in the DMV. Kids are becoming repeatedly entangled with the law.
For three consecutive years, more kids have been arrested than adults for carjackings in Prince George's County. The trend extends to Montgomery County, where 55% of car theft arrests involve minors.
..............
A 2021-2022 review of Washington D.C.’s restorative justice program tracked 659 kids six months, nine months and a year after release. Eighteen percent were caught committing a new crime within six months, 26% reoffended within nine months, and 37% reoffended within a year. Yet, even with repeated arrests in some cases, juvenile accountability and rehabilitation remains elusive. Despite millions of dollars spent on restorative justice programs, a significant percentage of kids re-offend within months of release.
Total failure.

Great work everybody!
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
I truly hope that each and everyone on the clowncil has an impromptu get together with a group of these kids.
I’m hearing the current life expectancy in the U.S is around 80, so based on the above by 18 they will be dead.
They won't learn anything from it. They won't let themselves or each other.
