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.

$20 says this piece of shit starts bitching about "respecting her privacy", while telling others how they should live.

You forgot to add "again" to your sentence.

And these people think that they are morally superior. Amazing.

They don’t just think they are.

Hear me out now.

Perhaps she should not be givin' handies in auditoriums, and maybe she should be focusing more on the problems of her son and cut out the malarkey.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I don’t care if she’s fucking the whole town behind closed doors or in places that such behavior is welcome. But she needs to parent better, and if that takes time away from her sex life then so be it.

But also he’s 18 and has two parents. I’m not going to say it’s all her neglect. He’s an adult. And I wouldn’t be surprised if her parenting more would make it worse. She’s got shit morals

"It's shit all the way down, Randy."

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I seen the shit bird talking at a shit podium to all the other shit birds, Sconie. As far as the eye could see, shit birds. All cooing and cawing peeping and whistling shit songs, Sconie. It was a sight to see. I got shit in my eyes, bud.

Also, the shit apple never falls far from the shit tree.

"criminal possession of a financial device"

'Had to look up what is considered a financial device...

Under 18-5-702 CRS, it is a criminal offense in Colorado to use, possess, or manufacture a blank credit card. Unlawful use of a financial transaction device encompasses credit cards, debit cards, ATM cards, or other financial devices. This crime can be a petty offense, misdemeanor, or a felony.''

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Yeah... It sounds like he and his minor friends stole 4+ wallets from various (probably unlocked) cars that each contained someone's ID & credit cards and at least some of the wallets also had cash.

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I really don't care what her shitty son does. She is much worse.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (5 children)

If this bitch wants to go after Joe Biden because of something Hunter Biden did/is accused of, then we damn well SHOULD care about what her son is doing. As they love to say, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

If Republicans had no double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

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

Nah, this "stoop to their level" stuff doesn't help at all, it's stupid and just gives them more ammo to drag attention away from actual policy issues.

There are bad eggs that pop out of perfectly fine people, but this really feels like someone who is acting out the life they were taught to lead. I.E. Son grew up just like the parents wanted.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Care because she's a "family values" Republican and it shows exactly how bad they are at raising their kids. It's worth pointing out every single time because that's how they think everyone else should be forced to raise their kids.

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.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (7 children)

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?

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

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

Hey guys, be fair. Maybe he was just stealing to support the baby he had with a child who was "over 14, so it wasn't statutory rape, we totally swear.'

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

I forgot he had a kid. If having a kid doesn't grow you up, nothing will.

Wait....I suddenly have a suspicion why the dad was being rough with the son.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

If I had no idea who they were, I would still look at that group photo and think they all look entirely untrustworthy and make assumptions about them being terrible people. Or that they were a fake family posing for the example photo in a photo frame.

Isn’t there some kind of conservative something or other about women staying at home? Like… to look after the kids etc?

I’m not saying that ‘philosophy’ is correct, but I do wonder if the cognitive dissonance amongst her supports is ringing ever more loudly.

[–] teejay@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Boebert's family is like Sarah Palin's family if you sprinkled-in more meth and rape of minors.

Aren't felonies a requirement for running for office as a Republican now?

Not to excuse his criminal activity, but I don't think it's really a surprise he's not particularly... well-adjusted, given who his mother is. I frankly would have been more shocked if I was told he was a functional, well-adjusted, pleasant human being.

Personally I had no idea she was married with children. Wasn't she just kicked out of a movie theater for being stoned and giving some staffer a hanny? Or is that some other republican trainwreck.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

She split with her husband, ie the guy who exposed himself to her in a bowling alley when she was a minor.

Also the guy she fucked around with is a registered Democrat who owns a bar that does drag shows.

I'm not making any of this up

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

She panicked and broke up with him and claimed she didn't know. What a coward.

[–] Pipoca@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (5 children)

She's a 37 year old divorced grandmother.

You're essentially correct, there, but slightly off on a couple details. About a month before her divorce finalized, she was kicked out of a musical for vaping and being rowdy with her new boyfriend.
