These are children.
They are, and I don't know what we do with them. Is rehabilitation possible with such cruelty? Can you "retrofit" empathy into teens this old? I doubt it. Of course, our system does not try very hard or effectively.

DC teens who murdered Uber Eats driver get plea deal, Internet wants them 'charged as adults'

“The shocking and bizarre nature of the death of Pakistani immigrant Mohammad Anwar shook the nation. The latest news in the case is even more concerning as the two teenagers aged 13-year-old and 15-year-old charged in the armed fatal carjacking last week in Washington DC are reportedly getting a plea deal.

According to the latest reports, the prosecutor had told the judge they were expecting to give attorneys plea bargain offers in the "next day or two."

Two teenage girls accused of car-jacking and killing Uber Eats driver 'reach plea deal' | Daily Mail Online

"Two girls, ages 13 and 15, who were charged with the murder and carjacking of a Pakistani immigrant killed last month while working at his job delivering food in Washington, DC, have reportedly reached a plea deal with prosecutors.

Mohammad Anwar, 66, died when police said the girls, armed with a taser, sped off in his car as he clung to the driver's side with the door open and crashed seconds later just outside the ballpark of the Washington Nationals.

On Monday, the teens reportedly reached the plea deal with prosecutors that would ensure they will not be held past the age of 21 nor be placed in a prison facility. "

"The teen suddenly accelerates, sending the car speeding down the 1200 block of Van Street SE with Anwar still clinging on to the driver side's door.

At one point, the car is seen smashing into a metal fence from its left side, crushing the delivery driver between the barrier and car door.

As the car continues to speed off into the distance, a screeching sound is heard followed by a loud crash.

The bystander filming the incident runs over to the site of the crash to find the car rolled over and the two girls climbing out of the wreckage.

Anwar's body can be seen lying motionless on the corner on the sidewalk, as witnesses scramble to get help."

The witnesses helped? What did the two girls do?

Unfortunate how our society and system is more concerned about the health of murderers than actual justice. These two heathens, no doubt, will commit horrifying crimes until their last breath.

It would also be nice if the deceased’s name was inserted into the thread headline, as opposed to his occupation.

I'm still confused by the rush to give them this plea deal. We all know the legal system does not move THAT quickly. Who are these girls related to that they want this swept under the rug asap?

Poor Anwar. I can't imagine how his family is feeling about this.

Morning all!

I really don't know how it could have shook the nation although it certainly should have. It hasn't even received much attention here. Very few pages from the time the victim was murdered. :(

I haven't seen much national MSM even covering this horrific act whatsoever. Just a blip and they seemed have moved on.

I just read this morning that more WDC minors have struck again already in another carjacking.

Imo, it will not stop as long as the WDC police department keeps making excuses for these brazen criminals, and the DA giving them ridiculously soft plea deals.

More innocent lives will be senselessly lost because teens there know nothing will happen to them even if they windup murdering more people. :(

I too would like to know where is the outrage from the main stream media? Anwar was killed during the commission of a violent crime. This story should be top news!

So by this Acting Police Chief carjacking is no longer a chargeable offence. I'm sure all the young thugs are taking notice of that.....MOO

The only one I've seen giving this heartbreaking case the airtime it deserves is Fox News.

It's really sad that none of the others thinks it's even note worthy to carry when an innocent man has lost his life through no fault of his own.

It's a terrible message when any PC makes excuses for the inexcusable, but it's happening more, and more.

I read another case in WDC where minors stole a vehicle, and smashed into a young man's vehicle in his thirties killing him. He was going to get Easter items for his children, and never made it back home again to his loved ones.

When is the PC going to wake up, and realize this is a dangerous situation for his law abiding citizens? I doubt it will happen, and these minors won't pay a heavy price for killing the young man either.

How many have to die or be gravely injured by criminal minors before he cares?

Of course. It's all dictated.

After they are cut loose I suggest they are mandated to go live with Muriel Bowser. Minimum two years.

Pointless? Pointless?????? Dear Lord. Dear Allah. Dear Baba. What Flippin society are we living in? This man's family? Unimaginable the pain. Pointless.

15-year-old given max sentence in deadly carjacking | whas11.com


"The judge called it an "unthinkable crime," and said it was "incomprehensible" that a child would be so "unfeeling," before sentencing the older of two teen girls involved in the carjacking murder of grandfather and Pakistani immigrant Mohammed Anwar. The judge gave the 15-year-old the maximum sentence -- six years of youth detention."

"The girl will have to be released on her 21st birthday, and D.C. judge Lynn Leibovitz said she hoped by that time the girl will have received services so she's "never in a position to do anything like this again."

"There is so much our family has endured because of you," Anwar's niece said through tears, speaking directly to the girl. "In these few months since March 23, we were literally at the cemetery for his burial, when we learned a video of the incident was uploaded to the internet, and went viral quickly after, including in Pakistan, which is half a world away. I cannot begin to tell you how agonizing and devastating it is to watch your loved one die so violently, and have the world view it as entertainment on websites like Worldstar Hip Hop and TMZ. There are nights we cannot sleep as the horrific video replays in our heads over and over and over again. We are haunted by the image of his broken, crumpled body lying on the pavement, and him struggling to move. It is incredibly heartbreaking to watch the respondents lack empathy, and immediately cry out for their cell phones, while he is laying literally at their feet."

They will probably be rehabilitated and get scholarships to Harvard after release.

Ap. 9 "DC acting police chief says charging carjacking teens for death of UberEATS driver is ‘pointless’"

"... acting police chief has also raised some eyebrows when he said he didn’t think the females should be prosecuted as adults..." Video & more at link.

Well, that's one way to look at it.:eek:

DC acting police chief says charging carjacking teens for death of UberEATS driver is 'pointless'


So is the police chief showing that he finds Pakastani immigrants somehow offensive???

Has the DC police chief marginalized Pakastani people, deliver drivers, what?

What exactly has no value to him?
