Unfortunately, I cannot speak to joining clubs at schools; however, there are a few notable climbing gyms here who offer plenty of resources to the outdoors. I would suggest giving either Movement, Bouldering Project or Sportrock a call.

Yup

I hope they’re still there next month. If magas want to randomly threaten folks in the neighborhood, they should not be allowed to do it without pushback. I am well beyond sick of maga bullshit.

Kinda of gross that you would be defending a violent criminal with a long and “distinguished” record of crime in DC, dragging people with stolen cars, and putting a lot of other people at risk.

I’m not cheerleading the “death”. I am cheerleading the removal of a violent criminal from DC streets. There was no reason to die, but he made that choice all of his own volition.

All of those are great ideas but unless you require people to take those classes it won’t be helpful. I highly doubt a lot of these parents are going to take weekly therapy classes, let alone enroll their children in one, especially when society as a whole already thinks seeing a therapist is considered “weak”. I also just think parenting classes wouldn’t work. Some people just shouldn’t be parents. I recently saw this billboard running near CVS on Penn and 12 SE that had a picture of a kid scribbling on a wall with the caption “ aren’t ready for children?”. Early sex education and constant lessons about parenthood should be enforced yet are now being attacked. I understand and agree with all that you say but perhaps I’m not optimistic on the invidual responsibility side of things.

Can't GPS track vehicles without a warrant, 4th amendment violation.

Kind of gross to be cheerleading the death of a kid, even if he committed a crime.

Ahhh. My spidey senses were off!

January 6 insurrectionists and supporters (ultra maga) holding a daily 'vigil' for prisoners in the D.C. Jail behind them since august of 2022

Led currently by (Ashli Babbit's mother) Micki & Nicole (Guy Reffitt's wife). They do not a have permit.

It's a common reality, yet still unbelievable that the nation's capital has such a terrible problem with teenage car jackings. Had the 17 year old killed someone he'd only see jail time until his 21st birthday. Such a joke.

I went through training and home study to adopt from foster care. They make it very difficult. Goal is always bio parent reunification. It takes years to sever parental rights. And by then, the damage is done. It’s truly a horrible system.

Exactly.

Exactly, at least in the developed world where war and hunger are not big issues, almost all social challenges are rooted in mental problems and individual or social traumas.

Exactly!

Copying here to avoid the paywall:

>The incident began when D.C. police received a call about a suspicious vehicle, and officers found the car parked with the engine running, according to a D.C. police spokesman. The driver appeared to be asleep or nodding off, the spokesman said. The officers ran the tags and determined the vehicle was stolen, according to the spokesman, and called for backup.

>Two Park Police officers responded to the call near 34th and Baker streets NE, said Park Police spokesman Thomas Twiname. They approached the car, and one of them got into the back seat, at which point the driver appeared to wake up and hit the accelerator, the D.C. police spokesman said.

>The officer was “trapped in the vehicle,” Twiname said, and unable to escape. The officer gave commands to stop and then discharged a firearm, Twiname said. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

God that whole article is so sad

I don’t see that in any article except WaPo and that’s behind a paywall

>How can you say he didn’t pose a threat?

Because he was asleep inside the car when police found him:

Which is a pretty crucial detail missing from OP's article.

How can you say he didn’t pose a threat? Do you know what his mindset was? You are basing your argument on a supposition that as far as I can tell you’ve just decided is fact

Driving shitfaced would meet the legal standard for proximate cause of an accident, since it would be reasonably foreseeable that doing that could result in someone's injury or death.

It would be reasonable to use force to stop a drunk driver from endangering other people.

The car thief in this story didn't pose a danger to anyone until the Police got involved.

Simply stealing a car doesn't justify the use of force, nor should it justify his death.

Yeah. I’m blaming the person behind the wheel. You’re using a Schrödinger’s cat argument blaming the police for the criminal’s actions. If I drive shitfaced and cause an accident am I not to blame?
