I'm thinking the cops aren't to blame so much as the catch-and-release court system. To me that's like yelling at the waitress because your food was burnt and overpriced.

It's the customers.

In another disturbing event, deputies responded to a robbery on Great Mills Road where a victim was assaulted by four suspects who forcibly took his backpack. One juvenile suspect was apprehended after assaulting deputies during the arrest. This individual was already known to law enforcement due to prior offenses, including vandalism and motor vehicle theft. The search for the remaining suspects continues.

This right here is the problem.

There should be an automatic death penalty for three felonys.

Three strikes you're OUT OF EXISTENCE.

No more repeat offenses.

That's the thing - if he's already been busted for car theft, why is he out roaming around? Why isn't he in jail?

The more I read about this crap, the more I think the solution was already presented in the movie No Escape (1994)

Of course remove paper crimes from felony column. Felon with a firearm, not a crime but commit one with it, death.

This takes balls. Trying to stop and carjack a car while on bicycles. What would they do with it once they had it, besides beat it to a pulp, light it on fire and abandon it? They're becoming more and more brazen as there seems to be no pushback, authority presence, and no threat of being in custody for more than an evening before being let back out. Almost a badge of honor to them.

UPDATE: Police Seeking Video After Multiple Attempted Armed Carjackings in St. Mary's County

On Saturday, September 21, 2024, at approximately 9:41 p.m., police responded to an address to make contact with an attempted carjacking victim.

Start charging them with terrorism when caught. I don't care what anyone says, you can't rehabilitate stray dogs.

If they were on bikes, pointed a gun at me and they were in my exit route, I'd have no qualms about runnnig them down.
