Things don’t “turn awry”; they “go awry”. Stoopit newspaper people.

I actually prefer it if all the robbers go do the deed.
I understand the logic behind statutes that hold getaway drivers and similar assistants (“accessories” in the law) as fully liable for the crimes they facilitate.
But it still sits wrong with me to convict them as fully as the dudes waving guns, shooting people, etc. It smacks of us creating a law that’s easy to prosecute, rather than one that’s effective at preventing social ills. IMO it’s just a hair’s-breadth away from “Round up the usual suspects.”

Some city names just scream “crime-ridden shithole.” “Commerce City” is one of those names.
You do have to love a place so wildly unlawful that an empty running car lasts mere seconds unstolen. If the robbers had had a lick of sense they’d have robbed a store in at least a little nicer town. You’d expect that they, of all people, would have had a sense of just how lawlessly dangerous Commerce City is.
OTOH, maybe they were expecting a little professional courtesy and were gobsmacked when it wasn’t forthcoming.

I also think that’s the first time I’ve seen Musk’s messaging service X referred to just as plain “X” in the wild, rather than as “X (formerly known as Twitter)”.
It seems mainstream media is finally getting over the rename. Whether for good or ill.
