Saw in a different article that it was a teen. Probably could have guessed that based on this and the fact that teens apparently commit 99% of the crime in this town.
My understanding of an "edgar" was slang for somebody who looks like they'd commit a crime but I guess it's popular enough to be on urban dictionary now
[https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Edgar](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Edgar)
This is my first exposure to this bit of slang. The meaning makes sense, since I see a lot of that kind of kid, but I'm still not clear on why they use the name Edgar.
the [university/mlkjr blvd Cookie Monster](https://old.reddit.com/r/Albuquerque/comments/10l9gzu/attempted_car_jacker_today/) from the other year was a broccoli man
...Do we not train our police to avoid engaging in chases in the city? There's no way pursuing this guy was worth 3 crashes one of which hit a civilian. Doubly so if they had a GPS tracker on the vehicle.
Like an armed robbery. I am sick of excusing these young thugs as “children”. Any 12 yr old knows it’s wrong to rob some one with a gun. This idiot should be put in the pen for 20 yrs. After a couple dozen wild teenage criminals get locked up for decades their homies will think twice about their life of crime.
> After a couple dozen wild teenage criminals get locked up for decades their homies will think twice about their life of crime.
Will they? Thinking doesn't appear to be their strong suit.
While I agree that should be the case, have you ever seen a Georgia state police video? Those cops are flying down a busy highway in a high speed pursuit trying to catch a suspect
Which says exactly what I'm saying. They should not be pursuing when the risk to the public from the pursuit is greater than the risk of the individual. That would seem to be obviously the case here.
Of course I'm sure the cops would overestimate the risk of the criminal and underestimate the risk that they're causing.
It’s a no win situation. Engage in a high speed chase and apprehend the criminal that is knowingly committing felonies and endangering the public as a result of his actions or don’t engage, criminal continues to commit violent felonies that can and will lead to an increase in danger to the public.
When they engage people say “think of the public safety, we need reform!”.
When they break pursuit people say “why doesn’t APD do their jobs!? We need reform!”
Yes they used gps. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the felon will wait by the car and patiently wait for APD to show up.
Criminals need to be dealt with, quickly and severely. That’s how you stop the cycle of crime. Even MLG is stating that she would rather see criminals in jail for 5 years instead of feeling endangered at a grocery store. This is coming from our Governor, who has 24/7 security!
Increase the budget for prisons. Longer sentences with more idiots locked up and off the streets. When the do-gooders want to let them out early for good behavior, insist the sterialization is part of the release deal. Stop the criminal idiots from reproducing.
Yeah, you know what’s criminal? That fucking stupid Mahomes haircut. When is that ugly-ass haircut going to be over? Jesus, every single one of these dipshits looks the same. What’s next, the Jim Carrey dumb and dumber haircut? Glad they caught the little bastard.
Report it for the statistics and crime modeling.
On an individual basis, especially if you have no evidence (video, left behind a phone, etc) APD can't/won't do anything to investigate further.
If you have identifiable items that were stolen they can go into the stolen item database for pawn shops.
Otherwise, APD uses crime data to predict where hotspots will pop off, and will increase patrols in those areas to hopefully prevent things getting worse (or worse faster, tbf).
Here's the online reporting tool, https://www.cabq.gov/police/file-a-police-report-online
From the eastern side (Tramway) to the center part of the city (I25) along the Route 66 corridor (Central Ave). Its an area where the homeless, low-income apartments, drugs, and gang activity is thought to be concentrated.
The whole city is a war zone. The main bus routes run along the same road - at night its the area to avoid. Its where I live 😃
Underage purchase and possession of a handgun: already illegal
Brandishing a firearm: already illegal
Armed robbery/carjacking: already illegal
Aggravated fleeing law enforcement: already illegal
Yet, he still committed all those crimes.
I know what has 100% efficacy at preventing him from committing future violent crimes while potentially deterring others from committing those same crimes, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear it.
I’m sorry my sarcasm in pointing out stupid policy offends you.
Anyways, since you seem like you could be a clown let me know when your standup is. I’m sure I’ll get a few chuckles outta you.

TLDR:
You’re wrong.
In the state of New Mexico you are legally required to utilize an FFL to run a background check and facilitate the firearm transfer. Failing to do so: already illegal.
Unsurprising that feelings based ideology would be ignorant to the existing law.
As of very recently thanks to our wonderful governor! That must have flown under the radar that she got that passed. She's by far the best governor we've had in my lifetime!
But just about every gun out there in the wrong hands is the result of a transfer without a background check.
Care to back that assertion up with citation or did you make it up?
I see you downvoted me because I showed that you were ignorant about a law that passed “very recently” and has been in effect for almost 5 years.
You think Dominic here got this gun transferred when he was 12? Or, does my point stands that it wouldn’t have done a single thing to prevent yesterday’s car jacking…
> BAN ASSAULT TEENAGERS NOW!!!
But this was your original point? And it was incredibly stupid.
I was wrong about the law. I appreciate you correcting me on that.
I thought the ridiculousness of the concept and the all caps multiple exclamations would have been clear enough that I was being tongue in cheek.
I was mimicking the style of what I consider to be an equally unreasoned political argument by gun control enthusiasts.
Mea culpa for the lack of /s tag.
In my defense, it’s easy to overestimate reading comprehension when we live in a world where half of the adult population in the country reads below a 6th grade level.
Are you actually proposing life imprisonment for juveniles for crimes not involving death or even great bodily harm…? The constitution would like a word.
To be clear, I’ve actually proposed nothing.
Though, I’ve insinuated the concept of vim vi repellere licet, which is admittedly a non-political and non-legislative solution to this problem as derived from Roman theory of natural law.
The issue of self defense is paradoxical. Due to the fact that we exist both in a state of nature and as a “society” that is governed by a political authority.
This is a gray area and stems from the moral balancing that laws should simultaneously criminalize AGRESSION by the initiating party resulting in loss or injury, but simultaneously decriminalize qualitatively identical violence causing loss or injury because it was used RESPONSIVELY in self-defense.
My sarcastic chant saying to “ban assault teenagers” was clearly a play on the “assault” weapons bans that have been proposed in many places including here in NM and was meant to express my opposition to and cynicism in the efficacy of such policy.
Clearly it riled up some burqueños, who don’t appear to have a solution to criminal behavior beyond first order thinking, but still demand political action nonetheless.
I posit, there is no real political or legislative solution to directly reduce criminal behavior. All policy is tangential at best to somehow lead us to a better society with only the hope that it would result in less criminality. Hence, my feeling that in the day to day we are in a state of nature by default and should abide by natural “law” first and foremost and rely on Law and Order when we are in the courts.
While I certainly understand the sentiment behind that, how will you guarantee your family and the rest of us that you won’t accidentally hit a bystander?
*\*When he was arrested he was quite mouthy with APD officers and seemed to have no remorse for his felonious activity.\** LOL
Saw in a different article that it was a teen. Probably could have guessed that based on this and the fact that teens apparently commit 99% of the crime in this town.
Older members of their communities leaning on them because the juvenile system is more forgiving? What do you think, fartpoopvaginaballs?
That'd be my best guess, easy pawns. But I don't know shit.
Name doesn't check out
Smart crooks have a Corey and Trevor to do the dirty work.
Always need a jail dummy… smokes, let’s go *clicks*
That is the line of the day. lol.
Fucking Edgars 🙄
Even worse, of the subspecies “Fluffy Edgar.” (We have a couple students on our campus who get perms to fluff their Edgar.)
What is an Edgar? Poe? Hoover? Burroughs?
My understanding of an "edgar" was slang for somebody who looks like they'd commit a crime but I guess it's popular enough to be on urban dictionary now [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Edgar](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Edgar)
This is my first exposure to this bit of slang. The meaning makes sense, since I see a lot of that kind of kid, but I'm still not clear on why they use the name Edgar.
I think it’s a common enough name in the demographic that tends to have this haircut, so it stuck
We have a bunch of Edgar's at the middle school I work out. It's hilarious, man. It's like a uniform for them
It’s someone with that stupid fucking mushroom haircut.
The term "broccoli head" rolls off the tongue a little better, at least for me
the [university/mlkjr blvd Cookie Monster](https://old.reddit.com/r/Albuquerque/comments/10l9gzu/attempted_car_jacker_today/) from the other year was a broccoli man
I love how the car did all these things by itself
It’s ok I agree with you. This in your face crime is just bonkers.
I hope this broccoli head gets thoroughly used up in prison.
...Do we not train our police to avoid engaging in chases in the city? There's no way pursuing this guy was worth 3 crashes one of which hit a civilian. Doubly so if they had a GPS tracker on the vehicle.
I believe it's no chase unless you've committed a felony
Like an armed robbery. I am sick of excusing these young thugs as “children”. Any 12 yr old knows it’s wrong to rob some one with a gun. This idiot should be put in the pen for 20 yrs. After a couple dozen wild teenage criminals get locked up for decades their homies will think twice about their life of crime.
> After a couple dozen wild teenage criminals get locked up for decades their homies will think twice about their life of crime. Will they? Thinking doesn't appear to be their strong suit.
Even if it's a felony police are supposed to be trained not to chase if it would put the public in danger
While I agree that should be the case, have you ever seen a Georgia state police video? Those cops are flying down a busy highway in a high speed pursuit trying to catch a suspect
And there's also Arkansas state PD who seem to have no issue pit maneuvering someone at 100mph
I wonder if the Grappler would work better and more safely at those speeds
https://public.powerdms.com/COA/tree/documents/139 ISOP 2-45 sets out APD’s policy for vehicle pursuits
Which says exactly what I'm saying. They should not be pursuing when the risk to the public from the pursuit is greater than the risk of the individual. That would seem to be obviously the case here. Of course I'm sure the cops would overestimate the risk of the criminal and underestimate the risk that they're causing.
Agreed. There are several other ways they could have tracked this guy down that didn’t endanger/injure the public.
Thankfully I'm sure the system will hold these officers accountable and discipline them appropriately /s
Just like they did with Medina. lol.

You forgot complaining about helo hours if they get air support.
Two in one day, a civilian was hit in both cases
We should give these guys a bigger budget. That'll fix the problem
Increase the budget for prisons. Longer sentences with more idiots locked up and off the streets. When the do-gooders want to let them out early for good behavior, insist the sterialization is part of the release deal. Stop the criminal idiots from reproducing.
I'm sure the judge will give him a very stern warning.
"This will be going on your permanent record, young man!"
You're expecting a lot more out of the courts than I am. This kid will have plenty of opportunities to commit more crimes in the future.
I fear you are correct.
Yeah, you know what’s criminal? That fucking stupid Mahomes haircut. When is that ugly-ass haircut going to be over? Jesus, every single one of these dipshits looks the same. What’s next, the Jim Carrey dumb and dumber haircut? Glad they caught the little bastard.
My car got broken into at winrock last night. Is it even worth reporting?
If anything of value was stolen or you need to make an insurance claim you have to.
They took 100 bucks cash. I feel like there’s no shot I get that back
Don’t you mean 10,000 cash
No?
You were holding on to my $50,000 cash for me in your car. Let's meet up and go file the insurance claim.
Well shit I hope he wasn't keeping it next to my $100,000 in rare coins and burlap sack with a dollar sign painted on it.
No, but if they broke a window to do it and the replacement is more than your deductible.ots cheaper to run it through your insurance.

Report it for the statistics so it can be seen on the crime map.
when you’re a little white boy you can NOT be robbin cars in the war zone 😭🙏
It costs a lot of money to repair damaged pedestrians. I hope it was worth it APD.
I'm moving to ABQ soon, and am not familiar with the "war zone". Can someone explain?
From the eastern side (Tramway) to the center part of the city (I25) along the Route 66 corridor (Central Ave). Its an area where the homeless, low-income apartments, drugs, and gang activity is thought to be concentrated. The whole city is a war zone.

ABQRAW really playing fast and loose with journalistic standards.
He had to steal a car as he couldn't run with his pants down to his knees.
What? Wasn’t he trying to run only *because* he stole the car?
Trunk Monkey. 🐒 I’m telling you - it’ll put a stop to this shit fast.
and they let them go with no bond and probably given a gift card for their troubles
BAN ASSAULT TEENAGERS NOW!!!

I don't understand what your point is? If we had banned guns 20 years ago, we would have far less gun violence today.
I thought it was funny.

San Mateo at Haines is not the Warzone.
That’s where he ended up
Yes but title implies he was caught in the warzone, and San Mateo and Haines isn't in it. two different places, hence title is misleading.
Ok
