CHICAGO (CBS) — “I said, ‘Take everything. Just don’t hurt me.'”
Only CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar spoke with the woman whose life was put on the line for her car when she was carjacked by a 14-year-old and terrorized outside her home.
The suspect is in custody, but it came after some extreme measures.
“It happened quick,” said carjacking victim Tavashane Brown.
Brown was not carjacked Friday night, but she is one of the more than 150 carjacking victims just this year. Her car was taken earlier this month near 41st and Vincennes.
“They implied that they had guns,” she said. “They told me to get out. I gave them everything. I was like, ‘Look, here, take everything. Just don’t hurt me.'”
Brown got her car back, and this week a 14-year-old was arrested for carjacking her. The boy is also linked to 10 other carjackings and robberies just this month, including the carjacking of an off-duty Chicago police officer. He has already had 11 previous referrals to juvenile court.
“Kids are out here doing this as if it’s a game. They’re terrorizing people and ruining lives,” Brown said. “I’m wondering where are the parents, a 14-year-old.”
Along with Brown’s car and belongings, they also got her purse.
“My handgun was actually in my purse,” she said.
Her licensed and registered gun was in the hands of a child. Sources say Brown’s gun was used in a string of other crimes and later identified by its unique color. It was recovered on the boy during his arrest.
“That was the biggest thing that they had, my gun now and could potentially use this gun on other people,” she said.

Substitute phosgene for skunk juice and I’d agree with you
“He implied he had a gun” M’f’r would have dead before he hit the pavement where I come from.
Her earlier loss by car theft at 41st and Vincennes was right about where Nat King Cole’s home was when he lived in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

He at least had to good sense to get out in time.
Just a boy. Just a teen
What do you expect?
They young have been playing “Grand Theft Auto” for over a decade.
Essentially the game is a crash course on how to use force to hi-jack or steal automobiles and become a killer..

So now they are doing it for real.
Always good to carry two. May not be able to easily reach one of them.
“Grand Theft Auto...”
Yep. And liberals literally laughed when people back then said it would encourage some kids to copycat those violent crimes, when they wouldn’t otherwise if the game didn’t exist.
Stupid Chicago liberals are flabbergasted when their Obama card doesn’t save them.
We had an errant 8 year old in the extended family who played GTA every day for hours, When you took him opuot to the movies you could see him casing out every car he walked by in the parking lot.
It was creepy. They eventually took his game away, he was always tying to steal the farm tractor.
Has anyone else realized that basic public services and the rule of law has totally taken a dump since last year?

I am amazed at the amount of crime (car theft, house break-ins) reported daily in my town on Next Door, the social media platform. Almost none of this crime is reported in the local newspaper or on the local television stations.
Tacoma has had a 225% increase in road racing incidents from 20 to 65.
Hey it’s a Demoncat 💯 % town. Run by liberals and Edward scisorhsnds
What could be wrong ?
Let me guess...
I thought that most firearms had serial numbers engraved or cast into them... Or are they now also color-coded?
And the 14-year-old perp: How on Earth were they able to identify him? Also due to his "unique color?"
Regards,
Older VW Beetles had a fuel shut-off valve. You could drive about 20 miles, and it’d stop.
“Unique color” might have been pink...

Opps, posted that in wrong place.
