Proof we need more “defund the police” pressure.

Somehow would-be carjackers have concluded the cost-benefit ratio favors doing a carjack.

The number of carjackings is expected to rise until there is a shift in thinking.

I think the problem arises from the inability of these po po foks in the ghetto to get a new car loan.

Therefore it is determined that credit scores are racist.
So henceforth, black Democrats should be given a car loan based on their skin color.

Of course. Richard J. Daley was a bad ass. A corrupt bad ass, but a bad ass none the less.

In the Old West, if you stole someone’s horse you were hanged on the spot.

WOW!

I did not know that.

Just another example of Free Speech kilt by commies under the cover of COVID.

I notice their solution is not to stop the car-jackings or jail the criminals, but instead increase the monitoring of citizens. What is the use of tracking the stolen car if the perp is not going to be jailed for the crime? Yes, the vehicle may be returned to the rightful owner, but the criminal will just go steal another car immediately upon being processed and released without bond.

There is a simple solution to this problem. Chicago should just outlaw cars (except for the elite and their bodyguards, of course).

Why do I always have to think of everything?

Start executing car thieves. It’s time we put some teeth into the laws everywhere.

I lived in the suburbs and worked in the city for thirty years.I never felt threatened. Murders and crime happened in certain areas. Other areas were safe. Not anymore. No matter how affluent your neighborhood, there are black thugs to rob you at gun point. Its not even a Hispanic thing. Its 90% black when it comes to violent crime.

It's already against the law (a serious felony in fact), so what are the "lawmakers" scrambling about?

The will do anything to fix the problem. I mean short of re-policing or actual prosecution. More gun control. Yeah. That's the ticket. /sarc

History of the Automatic Transmission

Overview of the 1st Automatic Transmission

In 1921, the automatic transmission was invented by Alfred Horner, a Canadian steam engineer. He designed the transmission to use compressed air instead of hydraulic fluid, but it lacked the necessary power and never was commercially sold. Later in the 1930’s, General Motors developed the first hydraulic fluid automatic transmission, which was introduced in 1940 as the original “Hydra-Matic.”
