Washington Democrats hope to go easy on drive-by murderers in order to promote racial equity for criminals. It’s the latest light-on-crime scheme pushed under the guise of being anti-racist.

House Bill 1692 lessens the criminal penalties for drive-by shootings. It prohibits using a drive-by shooting as a basis for elevating a first degree murder charge to an aggravated first degree murder. The bill is also retroactive, lessening punishment for those already found guilty in drive-by shooting cases. It even offers carve-outs to release felons from jail if they committed their violent act when they were under 21-years-old.

The bill’s sponsors, state Representatives Tarra Simmons (D-Bremerton) and David Hackney (D-Tukwila), pre-filed the bill ahead of the Jan. 10, 2022, start to the legislative session. They claim this change promotes “racial equity in the criminal legal system.” It does no such thing. It merely goes easy on criminals who deserve lifetime jail sentences.

HB 1692, if passed, would remove drive-by shootings from the list of aggravated factors. Thus, a drive-by murderer, if charged and convicted, could be released from prison. But the bill goes even farther than reclassifying drive-by shootings.

    • Well said, Stan... It is of special note that the 1619 project claims that Capitalism is nothing more than the continuation of slavery in a new form.  However, the 1619 project is regurgitated Marxist class warfare with its goal to replace America's capitalist economy and government with the Marxist model for governance... communism.

  • Until it happens in their neighborhoods,of course.

  • Well now, perhaps they are coming up with a workable solution for "Clearing the City Sidewalks and Parks of Homeless Camps!" Not bad if its a "Catch and Release with a Monetary Citation."

  • Somebody needs to DRIVE BY the State Legislature with a truckload of automatic weapons as a demonstration of racial equity...

  • so if an elected official is giving an outdoor speech and someone drives by and shoots them then it's ok fine 

  • I think its time to start supplying potential drive-by perps (gang members, criminals with records of random violence, terrorists groups, etc.) with the streets names and addresses of these upstanding legislators (and their supporters) to give these poor, misunderstood, racially unequal felon/citizens a place to practice and perfect their "hobby". This, of course, would only be done to promote "racial equity in the criminal legal system".

  • It has been rumored for a long time that some people want to decrease this country's population, and that of the world as well, and it appears more and more that Democrats are behind such a move with actions such as this Wasnington State idiocy, their strong efforts to back abortions and the defunding of police.@

  • Oh Brother give me a break!  Drive-bys need to life No Possiblity of parole! Minimum! Personally Short Rope and a Tall Tree would be my choice. Give your Soul to Jesus cause your butt is gonna hit the dirt.

    • Death penalty usually deters some.... but only if it's carried out, not having them sit for decades, waiting, and for us to feed, house and doctor them
