Lauren Boebert's son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested on Tuesday and is facing 22 charges, adding more chaos to a campaign overshadowed by family drama.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I think people often misunderstand "family values" from redneck trash families. They're not hypocrites, generally, in this. Teenagers being trashy happens regardless of parents political leanings, the real hypocrisy would be if they went to the abortion clinic. They usually don't. It'd be a lot smarter, but then they'd have to change their views when confronted with the consequences, and that's horribly hypocritical. Person should maybe really think things through before it's convenenient.
