they probably won't be charged with anything, much less prosecuted.

Anything to keep criminals out of prison. Zero concern for victims or their families.

Both of the miscreants are an imminent danger to society and should be charged as adults - but we know this won't happen.

when charged with a crime.

His office will literally do anything to make sure every criminal in Travis county where Austin is located 1) doesn't get charged in the first place 2) has their charges dropped. He's horrible. Our police are literally doing nothing at this point because it's pointless (they're a mess, too, but the DA issue is adding gas to the fire) and while Austin is low crime in general, it's gotten so frustrating because the police basically do nothing now. And it's hard to blame them knowing anyone they arrest even for violent crime, will get let out by the DA.

We had psychedelic music.

He'll let them off with nothing for sure.

if so, it sounds like that DA needs to be re-called and lose their job ASAP

What the hell DO they prosecute for in Austin if not for something like these crimes?

people still do get convicted of crimes here in Austin. I highly doubt these kids will be "let off" especially with highly public this event was.

To stop that spree?
This is Texas where guns are everywhere.

If true, of course.

THESE kids, not all kids. Mental health issues, shit parents or just doing it for the TikTok clout?

aren't gun shops supposed to be super secure??? But a 15 and 17 year stole guns!!!!

There names were posted and they were being hunted by more than the police. They are probably lucky the cops got them.

17-year-old Cristian Fajardo Mondragon. He is the oldest of the three suspects. Some reports are saying he has an active ICE detainer.

Teenagers who allegedly planned or attempted mass shootings in Tennessee and Wisconsin — and now Indiana — shared a commonality: they were plugged into an online subculture that worships mass murderers.

The people in these communities share graphic material – death, gore, hate, and abuse – like any other form of entertainment and horrify each other on purpose. They treat violent criminals like movie stars and count corpses like high scores on an arcade game.

That’s nothing new. What makes this subculture different from the pre-social media shock sites that traded in similar material is not the content – it’s the community formed around it.

Many of the cliques in this subculture are purposefully grotesque; others hide their venom behind false fronts or in-group speak so complex its own members liken it to a schizophrenic episode. Shockley appears to have made friends in one of the many “true crime community” groups, where people who idolize mass murderers disingenuously claim to be “researching” their crimes.
