A man isn't safe being a damn delivery driver anymore.

Teen girls charged with murder, carjacking of Uber Eats driver in Washington, DC

Two teenage girls have been charged in the carjacking death of an Uber Eats driver this week in Washington, DC, police say.

I was just watching the news about this and looked it up.

Apparently, two girls, one 15 and the other 13, ordered some Uber Eats. The driver, Mohammad Anwar, 66, of Springfield, Virginia, showed up with the food to deliver it and the girls attacked him with a stun gun to steal his car. They got in the car after they nailed him with the stun gun but apparently he regained his footing and tried to get his car back.

They sped off with him half in the car, hit another car and he was catapulted onto the sidewalk. He later died at the hospital.

Both girls have been arrested for felony murder.

15 and 13 and their lives are now over. A 66 year old grandfather is dead. Over a car.

What the hell is wrong with people?!

The whole juvenile system is shit. All it does is breed career criminals. I swear every damn time shit happens you find out they had long juvenile records and multiple arrests.

It does have its problems to be sure.

The real issue is society itself. You take a young person that's born into stealing cars and arrest him.

Then you keep him in a juvenile detention center for 6 months, don't really teach him anything, and then you release him into the same family of people that taught him to steal cars to begin with.

What chance does that give him?

Even 4 or 5 arrests later when they put him in a foster home it's a home of people typically the same caliber.

That's the problem: we just spend all our time and money kicking the can down the road rather than fixing the problem.

Clean, encouraging dorms, education, support, a little real encouragement.

These kids are salvageable, we simply choose not to do it.

The real shitty part is that both girls will be right back on the street doing the same shit when they hit 18.
