Rep. Lauren Boebert's 18-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon and is facing 22 charges, including several felony charges relating to a string of crimes in her Colorado district.

According to a Facebook post by the Rifle Police Department, the 18-year-old Boebert was arrested after a "recent string of vehicle trespass and property thefts" in Rifle, a town in Colorado's 3rd congressional district.

According to Garfield County Jail's records, the younger Boebert is facing four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.

He's also charged with four misdemeanor counts of ID theft, three misdemeanor counts of first-degree criminal trespass, and three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

In addition, he's also charged with three counts of the petty offense of theft of less than $300.

Boebert's hypocritical "family values" family is the least surprising thing in this article. I'm more surprised that Colorado has a town called Rifle.

I'm more surprised he wasn't shot while breaking into cars in a town called rifle. I'm sure she'd be totally fine with it if he was, right? Or is that only minorities that deserve death for theft?

[–] rdyoung@lemmy.world -4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It won't be long before whites are a minority in this country. So I guess then he would deserve death for even the smallest of infractions.

Did I really need to add /s?

Did I really need to add /s

Yes. Right wingers say that kind of thing earnestly all the time. Don’t expect people to give you the benefit of the doubt when you start in with ‘white replacement’ rhetoric.

I get where you are coming from. I was speaking of demographic shifts that have been projected for years.

Oh and just like reddit, anyone who wants to use a little brain power could take 2 seconds and peruse my comment history. Nothing I've ever said would have me confused with a maggat.

Ah yes. Downvote legit conversation. This is how lemmy ends up looking like reddit or twitter. Lots of people will just stop contributing to the convo if this community as a whole isn't capable of adult discourse.

Oh and unlike reddit, we can see who downvotes what on lemmy. Maybe I'll start calling out the assholes as a way to kill time when I am bored.

No one is taking the time to peruse your comment history lol... Just add the /s if you want to make a sarcastic joke 🙄

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

You seem like an alright person. Just a recommendation, now is a pretty good time for self reflection. Your comment didn't sound at all sarcastic and there's no reason for anyone to check your history. Just mark it with /s next time so we know.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 4 points 8 months ago

Oh my God this nonce again.

They have such a victim complex.
You aren't contributing to the conversation my dude. You are making the conversation about you.

Like Pueblo, which is basically just a town called Town.

There seem to be a lot of geographic locations named Rifle around there, but it looks like the name originated at Rifle Creek which got its name from someone finding a rifle along its banks in the 19th century. If Wikipedia can be believed, that is.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I trust Wikipedia more than the news now.
