OK, today, explain Sean Ramos for him here in Washington, D.C., where the biggest story over the weekend was the guy with the gun at the dinner with the president.

Big crime.

And we're going to talk more about that on the show tomorrow.

But on the show today, we're going to talk about smaller crimes here in Washington.

Have you heard about the teen takeovers?

A ton of teenagers get together in a corner of the city on, say, a Saturday night, and there's good times, but also, inevitably, there's shenanigans.

If some of these kids need to spend a night or two in jail in order to feel that there are repercussions to their actions, then so be it.

It's not just a DC thing, though.

Teen takeovers have been happening in Detroit, Chicago, Jacksonville, Los Angeles.

So on the show today, we're gonna ask what's to be done when summer's around the corner and the kids just wanna have fun, but also there's some petty larceny and property damage.

What do you think today explained us?

Jenny Gathright is a Washington Post reporter who writes about the nation's capital.

We asked her how exactly a teen takeover happens in the first place.
