Police described the suspect as a Black man who is approximately 6-foot tall with a thin build who appears to have a permanent injury to one eye and wears his hair in long dreadlocks.

Haha. At least they described him.

Yeah, that's a low bar.

"The 16-year-old was charged as an adult, and transported to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit. At the time of this arrest, the 16-year-old had an active arrest warrant for a carjacking that he allegedly committed on Wednesday, Nov. 8 in Rockville.

The 15-year-old was transported to a juvenile detention center. That teen has also been charged with an armed carjacking that occurred on Tuesday, Nov. 7 in Wheaton."

OK. Not this time. But I'm sure there is one out there!

We need more hearings, more listening, more walks, more funding and more programs.

And if all that doesn't work the mayor can go on TV and say that it's unacceptable

I'll bet the data is the same wherever you go:

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.

wjla.com

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.

And this completely omits those that were not caught commiting a crime and also likely those that were caught but not booked.

That recidivist group is comprised of the thugs that weren't smart enough to evade capture. No telling how many offenders learned a few techniques about avoiding arrest and prosecution, although a diminished police presence, a force of new hires, and the presumed police reluctance to bother arresting folks who will be back on the street before the paperwork is done may play into the totals as well.

Yup. Great point.

This data shows the complete and total failure of these programs and the incredible danger they put the community in as a result of them.

At some point you'd think leadership would look at the recidivism numbers alone and say: "This isn't working." Nope. They're all-in on this and they expect you to be as well... bigot.

That's an 81% recidivism rate. Abject failure.

It’s higher. They stopped tracking at a year.

'Kids need to be in school' | Solving street crime by keeping kids in school

Truancy and chronic absenteeism hit 80% in some D.C. high schools.

www.wusa9.com

According to DC Police, 458 young people have been arrested for violent crimes in the first nine months of 2023. According to the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), last school year an average of 43% of all D.C. students were deemed chronically absent, meaning they missed more than 10% of school.

The numbers are even worse when you zero in on high school. Attendance is abysmal: At Anacostia High School 82% were chronically absent, Ballou High School 88%, and at Dunbar High School 82%.

Curious how bad this is in Montgomery County....

Oh here it is:

MCPS Unveils Attendance Action Plan to Combat Chronic Absenteeism | Montgomery County Public Schools | Rockville, MD

MCPS leaders share data on chronic absenteeism. Here's how the district is tackling the problem

Montgomery County Public Schools leaders provided a broader understanding of the system's chronic absenteeism problem.

wjla.com

"Our Hispanic students have stood as having the highest chronic absenteeism rate followed by our Black and African American students," said Steve Neff, MCPS Director of Pupil Personnel & Attendance Services.

According to MCPS, chronic absenteeism is also high among Emerging Multilingual Learners and special education students.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/08/22/montgomery-county-schools-chronic-absenteeism-plan/

Data from Montgomery County schools shows that low-income students and students of color were more likely to be chronically absent. Nearly 18 percent of Black students were chronically absent during the 2022-23 school year, and about 30 percent of Black students enrolled in the district’s free-and-reduced lunch program were chronically absent. Thirty-two percent of Hispanic students were chronically absent, and about 42 percent of Hispanic students enrolled in free-and-reduced lunch programs were chronically absent.

Meanwhile, about 15 percent of other students were chronically absent, the district said.

More than 20% of students in Montgomery Co. schools are ‘chronically absent’ - WTOP News

In Maryland’s largest school system, over 20% of students remain “chronically absent.” School leaders there said they’re doing as much as possible.

wtop.com

Council member Gabe Albornoz noted that, according to demographic data provided by the school system, 31.5% of the students who are chronically absent are Hispanic. That’s double the number of white students and nearly 12 percentage points above Black students who are chronically absent.

Albornoz, who served as the director of the county’s recreation department in the past, called the data “incredibly alarming” and said, “I’ve been there, and we’re seeing it again — we’re seeing an increase in gang activity.”

Meet your criminals.

Meet your criminals, indeed. The authorities believe that the situation will be improved for everyone if they force the criminal element to stay in the schools.

Certainly that will improve classroom behavior, provide a diverse environment for kids who want to learn, provide a drug-free educational experience, and provide equal discipline for all students.

It will also shrink school enrollments dramatically, through encouraging alternate sources of schooling, and the attrition of those left behind.

Md. Gov. Wes Moore: 'No higher priority' than addressing juvenile crime, public safety during General Assembly

[USNS BETHESDA NAMING_00017] 4:30-4:37 Will you side with prosecutors and police who are calling for changes to the juvenile justice reforms, given the juvenile

wjla.com

In September, Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy told 7News Maryland Bureau Chief Brad Bell that juvenile justice reforms that state lawmakers passed two sessions ago have made his job more difficult.

"I recognize the motivations and the reasons why these changes were made. I am in sympathy with them but there were certain things that were done that I don’t think people didn’t understand the consequences of what they were doing," McCarthy said in September.

No John. They knew exactly what they were doing.

No John. They knew exactly what they were doing.

I would posit that those writing the bills knew what they were doing.

Those that voted for it went with herd mentality and didn't bother understanding the consequences.

"Its for the children" still has great weight behind it.

I suspect the MGA will double down by proposing UBI for children to keep them off the streets...

Moore is fine with crime as long as Democrats stay in power.
