Washington state lawmakers introduced a bill this month that would reduce penalties for drive-by shootings with the aim of "promoting racial equity." The bill, introduced by Democratic Representatives Tarra Simmons and David Hackney ahead of the state's 2022 legislative session, would eliminate drive-by shootings as the basis for elevating a first-degree murder charge to aggravated murder in the first degree, which carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. Drive-by shootings were added to the list of aggravating factors for murder charges in 1995.

So will promoting racial equity in drive by shootings mean your guilty if you shoot from a Tesla or Mercedes but not guilty if you shoot from a Buick or Kia? This is complete madness but it is Washington State home of the professional rioting team the Portland Antifa’s.

Perhaps we should get rid of penalties for all criminals except the ones the libs REALLY want in jail-conservatives and any dissenting voice.

Drive-by shootings are a core element of African-American culture, so it makes sense to allow them this expression of bLACK pride. Why not take the next step and allow People of Color to commit any crimes they like without punishment? Before long even the craziest liberal, if prevented from relocating to Texas or Florida as they do, would demand a vigorous back to Africa movement.

Next we will see demands for "separate but equal" public education and a Supreme Court reversal of Brown v Board of Ed.

So, it's now a less serious crime to gun down blacks from your car.
Because that's who are the victims of these crimes. Random, innocent, black people who have the misfortune of being somewhere (like in their house a block away) in the vicinity of a street corner drug dealer.

I agree with this.
It's much more difficult to hit a target from a moving vehicle - - than from a standing position. So anyone who manages to hit a target while moving - - deserves better treatment than a standing shooter. It's just common sense.

Tarra Simmons
"It all culminated in three felony convictions for possession of controlled substances and retail theft in 2011. She was sentenced to 30 months in prison and a year of community custody by a Kitsap County judge."

Re#6........So......excellent gun control should be rewarded? lol
That said.....drive by shooters typically spray bullets. Often hitting more than their intended target.

Well, of course, we want to encourage more drive by shooting, don't we?
No? Gee why not? You must be a racist if you oppose drive by shootings, obviously.
How can anyone say these destructive, non-sensical things out loud without everyone around them laughing at their stupidity?

So they are saying that it’s blacks who are doing the drive-by shootings and they want to go easier on them because they are black?
When we happily left far left corrupt Dem Washington decades ago I had no idea it could get worse. I was so wrong.

Will this equity treatment make bLACK yutes less likely to kill from a car? No, it will make it more likely to since it’s easier to escape the scene.

Yes, in the Hood, drive-by shootings are a form of self-expression. Poetic almost. It's like sending candygrams . Or flowers...Forget-Me-Nots mother-f-er.

"Inequity"...only ONE person has ever been prosecuted under this Law.
How do you then define a baseline for "Equity"?

Academia is rascist because they offer no courses in drive by shooting studies. Burn them leftist cities down until the first doctorate of drive bys is awarded!! They can be Drs. just like Doctor Jill.

It is hard to believe, but the liberals can always take insanity one step further. Every single time.
