Carjackings

None of this is surprising at all and very predictable. Until politicians decide to have the backs of the police this will continue plain and simple. That and the fact they let criminals right out with no bail or very little consequences.

Two Dems who support police reform carjacked less than 24 hours apart​

Two Democrats who supported police reform in Philadelphia and Chicago were both carjacked at gunpoint within 24 hours of each other.

Illinois state Sen. Kimberly Lightford (D-Maywood) was targeted in suburban Chicago on Tuesday night, while Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.) was carjacked Wednesday afternoon after an event in South Philadelphia.

Lightford was driving with her husband, Eric McKennie, in Broadview at about 9:45 p.m. when three masked suspects in a Durango SUV hijacked the couple’s black Mercedes.

Police said “multiple gunshots” were fired during the incident but Lightford and her husband weren’t physically hurt.

Carjackings have increased by more than 100% in cities including Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Minneapolis. And, up more than 343% in Washington, D.C, the news outlet report​

Violent carjackings have spiked nationwide during the pandemic in a shocking trend that is being driven in part by young teens who investigators say have “time on their hands,” CBS News reported.

No surprise who is their right mind would want to become a cop in a major city these days. You are not going to take a job in a place you are not supported.

The city’s police department is down by more than 200 officers since the spring of 2020 when the civil unrest, rioting and looting erupted in the city after a MPD officer killed George Floyd. At least 150 of those officers went on extended workers compensation leaves for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

The city has been working to attract and train replacements, but it has been an uphill battle.

Kristin acknowledged the MPD’s struggles, but also said people need to have assurances when it comes to personal safety.

Friend of mine got carjacked in October in the parking lot of our indoor soccer facility. Three black guys bumped his car. Then got in his car. Showed him a gun and said beat it. Didn’t hit him or anything. Didn’t get physical at all

This is why for so many of us Biden and woke rhetoric are so much more dangerous than anything remotely related to trump. It’s almost laughable. Academic bs vs our daily lives. Can’t imagine what I’d do. Die in the car. I’m rolling with a kid in a car seat

Not that this should lessen the punishment they get, but I don't think that was a car theft. I think that was their car, and they beat the shit out of the old man for touching it.

I mean, still gas 'em.

Being a servant to the public I think she should keep her Mercedes parked and take public transportation much the same as her constituents. Time for her to downsize to a Chevy or Ford to stay off the carjacking radar.
