Lauren Boebert's son was arrested over a spate of thefts as his mom tries to convince voters to look past her chaotic family life - Lemmy.World

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.

Norbert’s hypercritical “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?
Show threadrdyoungFeb 28, 2024
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.

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.

You can skip the felony requirement if you have enough sexual assault allegations. Or if you’re a “female,” you just need to have gotten pregnant before 18.

What is a “financial device”?
Show threadtryptaminev 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇪🇺Feb 28, 2024

In this case probably a stolen credit or debit card.

law.justia.com/codes/…/section-18-5-903/

1 . A person commits criminal possession of a financial device if the person has in his or her possession or under his or her control any financial device that the person knows, or reasonably should know, to be lost, stolen, or delivered under mistake as to the identity or address of the account holder.

All of the charges look like CC fraud

He was 17. IIRC, it would’ve still been illegal for him to have sex with her if she was 14 or younger, so they were very careful to specify that she was “over 14.”

Uh huh, sure she was.

Every time anyone shares information about someone they are dating they lead with unsolicited information of why the relationship is technically legal. It’s how you know the love is pure. \s
