🚨 NO WHITE SUPREMACISTS INVOLVED 🚨
These are delinquents who most likely have a long history of violence but were never punished in the past due to Commie Democrats feeling sorry for criminals. What do people think would happen when delinquents know there will be no repercussions for their criminal actions? Well, their risk taking will eventually escalate from petty crime to murder.
Murder is already a crime. We don't have a gun problem. We have a lack of self-control problem, a criminal supremacists problem and a Commie Democrats local district attorney's, judges, parole officers soft on crime problem, not doing shit to catch the criminals as in crimes go unsolved, and when they do catch the criminals, they immediately release them back onto the streets to allow them to continue terrorizing the community. These same people siding with the criminals want to take away YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to keep and bear arms in order to defend yourself, your business, your family and home against these criminal supremacists and a tyrannical government. Remember, criminals DO NOT obey laws. Therefore, criminals will have access to guns through gun trafficking venues and you will be left defenseless with no guns because the same government siding with criminals THEY'RE ALLOWING to terrorize you with guns said they wanted to keep you safe from guns. The anti-gun prosecutors are not even prosecuting gun crimes. But god forbid you kill an intruder, robber or rapist in self-defense in your home or on your private property, these same Commie Democrat district attorneys or prosecutors will charge you with murder and have you locked up for years in prison.

OXON HILL, Md. — A 14-year-old middle school girl has been arrested and charged for arranging an attack on a Prince George's County school bus that nearly turned deadly, testimony in the teen's detention hearing Monday revealed.
On May 1, three teen boys pushed their way past a Prince George’s County school bus driver and aide in Oxon Hill and tried to shoot a middle school student in the head, but the gun misfired. Video of the attack shows a teenaged attacker holding a gun to the victim’s head and chest while his two accomplices hold the victim down. All three teens then beat the victim and fled.
Now, a 14-year-old girl is accused of planning the "hit-squad" attack. The eighth-grader is accused of texting the boys moments before the attack to let them know the victim was on the bus.
The teen girl was arrested over the weekend. Though her family begged for her to be released into home detention before her trial, she was ordered held without bail at a juvenile facility during a court hearing Monday. Prosecutors told the judge a gang rivalry was involved in the attack. The victim's mother also asked the judge not to let the girl go home, saying she, her son and the school bus driver feared she could orchestrate another attack if released.
“She planned this out, and she set it up to a T," the victim’s mother said in court.
Two of the three teen boys seen on video as well have been arrested, but the third teen boy in the video -- the one holding the gun -- has not yet been found, and the gun has not been recovered.
The two boys arrested were in court Friday. A detective in the case testified that the 9mm semi-automatic pistol held to the victim's head jammed repeatedly, which likely saved the boy's life.
Attorneys for the two boys who are in custody said they are innocent. The attorneys argued that the attackers can’t be identified on video because of the masks.
Lesser misdemeanor charges related to gun possession were dropped by Judge Cheri Simpkins, but she ordered that the most serious attempted murder charges move forward after prosecutors argued the boys acted "in concert" with each other to carry off a planned attack.
All three teens arrested thus far are being charged as adults with attempted murder.
Prince George's County State's Attorney Aisha Braveboy said the case should be a warning to other teens and parents that prosecutors will not hesitate to charge violent teens as adults.
"Parents should know who their children are hanging out with, who they are socializing with, and who is influencing them," Braveboy cautioned. "Even if your child does not have a weapon, but the person they are with has a weapon and they intend to do harm, they will be charged as if they had the weapon. It's really important to take this seriously. We are serious about prosecuting everyone who is a gun offender here in Prince George’s County.”
The victim allegedly knew his attackers by name but refused for days to tell police, according to testimony. Police say they identified the masked suspects only after seizing the victim's phone and discovering it has been used to text the attackers’ names shortly after the assault to a contact. The defense attorneys argued the victim’s reluctance to name his attackers calls his truthfulness into question.
WUSA9 is not currently naming any of the people involved because of their juvenile status.

WASHINGTON (7News) — An armed 15-year-old wanted in an attempted murder on a Prince George's County Public Schools bus is now also wanted in a D.C. murder, sources tell 7News Maryland Bureau Chief Brad Bell.
The woman who was killed was the adult sister of a 14-year-old also charged in the bus attack. She was killed two days after the bus incident, sources tell Bell.
Metropolitan Police are investigating the murder of 23-year-old Kaijah McCoy of northeast D.C.
McCoy was shot and killed inside a residential building in the 3700 block of Jamison Street NE on May 3.
D.C. officers responded to a report of a shooting around 11:11 a.m. and found McCoy inside with no signs of life.
The murder happened two days after three masked teens jumped onto a PGCPS school bus and targeted a 14-year-old boy -- the last remaining student on the bus.
One of the masked teens pointed a gun at the boy and pulled the trigger three times.
Three times, the gun didn’t fire. Police later found three live rounds on the bus.
Prince George's County Police officers responded to the report of the assault around 4:55 p.m. on May 1.
Prince George's County Police released images of the wanted teens. Two of the three teens were taken into custody, but PGPD continue to look for "Baby K," the 15-year-old boy still wanted in the attack.
Sources who’ve seen the actual video say screen grabs can’t begin to show the ferocity of the attack, but you can see each of the three teens who jumped aboard a school bus Monday at a stop along Iverson Street in Hillcrest Heights and attempted to murder the middle schooler.
A 14-year-old girl was arrested Monday after police said she was allegedly connected to the attack as well.
On Wednesday, PGPD released a photo of "Baby K" and say the U.S. Marshals Service Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force (CARFTF) are helping with the search. They are hoping the public will help them locate "Baby K" and are offering an additional $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case.
