Imagine how fucked and shitty your life has to be, to be a 12 or 13 year old trying to carjack people.

    Not bad at all. Rich kids do horrific shit all the time. Like rape people, drive drunk and kill people, etc etc forever. This is just some kid who played gta, had some mental issues, went out and did shit, then didn’t have rich immoral parents to pay people off and bury it.

    I didn't suggest rich kids were immune?

    It's lemmy! Where regardless of what topic you bring, you'll just get "rich people suck" and "fuck capitalism" as incoherent, tone deaf responses.

    I’m not tone deaf. They’re saying that their life must suck. I’m saying that shitty behavior isn’t related to quality of life. I get that you’re center-right and middle class and tired of having to hear people talk about topics that don’t apply to you personally. But… grow up.

    Don't forget "America bad," "what's a tankie," and "DEFEDERATE!!!"

    The article links to another article and identified it with the boy who was killed. He went on a one night crime spree brandishing a gun and carjacking two cars and assaulting another in a failed carjacking. It's a crazy world.

    That's not normal behavior, it's just sad. Society is failing

    Well it's because gun stores in America sell nukes to fetuses without a background check because capitalism is bad.

    It's worth noting that DC largely had its gun problem under control until the supreme Court told them they weren't allowed to enforce effective gun violence prevention laws.

    We did some pretty fucked up things when I was a teenager and while our lives did suck, the risky choices and crime were from being young and stupid, not poverty.

    Imagine how many people have shitty lives and don't carjack people at 12.
