I feel bad for the people threatened by deadly force. Activist politicians implementing laxed laws on crime and an activist judicial system has been a trainwreck for everyone.

Thank you WSB for the descriptions of car and thieves so we can watch out as a community for the perpetrators

Note that the vehicle may change – it seems the MO in many robberies and burglaries is to use a stolen car so the vehicle can’t be traced back to you.

Isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to teach their children the basic fundamentals of right from wrong. What kind of future do these teenagers have if they are in possession of what is probably an illegal aka stolen gun and willing to brandish it to commit robbery?

Seattlite. You’re correct that it is the parents’ moral,legal,ethical responsibility. Sad reality is that nobody holds them to that. Guess it’s other parents guilty conscience………….

These are young kids like 16 to 17. If some business owner is armed and decides to use their weapons it’s going to be bad. I have some pictures of these kids , I will upload it. Stay safe

Dear robbers, you may think crime pays but just wait until the crimes catch up to you. Try getting a job before it is too late. Lots of places are hiring.
