Gangs of teens are stealing cars left and right and Baltimore has finally decided to crack down ........ on the car manufacturers

Car thefts are a MAJOR problem in gang-infested US cities.

We've covered the Kia Boys in Milwaukee, who specialize in stealing Kias and Hyundais, and similar street gangs, stealing Kias, are in other major US cities including Baltimore.

And Baltimore has finally decided to do something about it:

VIDEOS AT LINK.............

The city of Baltimore has filed a federal lawsuit against car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai, joining a number of cities who say the companies created a public nuisance by making cars that can be easily stolen.

"Hyundai and Kia's decision to put cost savings and profits over public safety has had significant consequences for Baltimore and its residents, as it has in other cities," the lawsuit says.

Car thefts in the city have nearly doubled this year compared to the same time last year, part of a nationwide trend after videos showing how to easily steal the vehicles racked up millions of views on TikTok.

Imagine that. They're going after the car companies instead of the perps!

Yeah, sure, they could lock up the people who are doing the stealing, but that would probably be "inequitable" and promote "harmful stereotypes."

Instead, they want to bring action against these Asian car manufacturers because that makes total sense.

Baltimore is one of the worst cities with crime in the entire country. The face-melting mental gymnastics here are insane.

Lawyers of Baltimore: the statute of limitations is ticking away.

Teenz. Always Teenz. Do white kids magically transition to 20 after their twelfth birthday?

So gangs and criminals are stealing cars.

The powers that be in Baltimore , seeing the situation, are not talking about arresting and locking up the criminals.

Instead , the powers that be, are angry at the car manufacturers , because the cars are too easy to steal.

In their view ,the problem is not that there are criminals stealing cars. The problem is that the manufacturers did not design the cars to make it more difficult to steal them.

Apparently this is their reasoning ability.

This is pathetic. The Democrats won’t take action against crime, because they’ll lose votes. They are driving the U.S. into ruin in many ways, all for power. It’s as bad as it was when the Dems defended slavery.

In many cities, it is illegal to warm up your car in your own driveway “for environmental reasons”, but the real reason is that your car will get stolen and therefore become a public nuisance and cause the police to look like they are doing actual police work.

In all fairness: why not both? Come on, making cars that are SO easy to steal is outrageous.

What does this say ,what is the unspoken message from the powers that be in Baltimore?

Is the unspoken message that they think that black youth will steal anything that isn’t nailed down somehow?

I know nobody is saying anything like that out loud , but is that what they really think?

I wouldn’t buy either one of those POS. Especially a KIA. That acronym is too sacred to me to be slapped of the ass of a car.

I was pumping gas in Baltimore when a 15 year old black kid came and stole the squeegee. I told him to put it back. He asked why.

The kid had no concept at all of actually buying something. None.

T.E.E.N. = Term Euphemistically Equaling Negro.

I'm still trying to figure out how authorities determine the age of these hoodlums without seeing any I.D.s

So... the City Urban Reservation of Baltimore is going to file a Federal lawsuit against building construction companies and door lock manufacturers for making apartments too easy to break into? Window manufacturers?

Kia and Hyundai should refuse to sell them in Baltimore. Sounds like they’re still mad at the Korean rooftop defenders.

But don't you understand classic dimmocrap methods of dealing with bad things? If kids can't pass tests, they don't encourage them to study more so that they could pass, they eliminate the tests. If there's a lot of voter fraud, they just eliminate any I.D. requirements. And if their largest product, illegimate black teens, are stealing cars, tell the car manufacturers to improve their security. IT'S NEVER THE FAULT OF INDIVIDUALS; it's always some external factor's fault for the problem. So easy for morally weak people to get behind, as it lets them off the hook for moral or any other type of strength.
