‘Kids Are Out Here Doing This As If It’s A Game’: Woman Carjacked By 14-Year-Old Outside Her Home [Chicago]
CBS Chicago ^ | 1/29/2021 | Charlie De Mar

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.

Illinois sends more National Guard troops to DC to guard the kleptocrats, while criminals roam free on the streets of Chicago.

Science!

(Kleptocrats are more equal than other citizens.)

The only real solution is manual transmission.

I am a strong believer that you must carry on you only.

If you can’t keep it on you at all times, leave it at home.

Who wants to be shot with their own gun?

The only real solution is manual transmission.

And a semiautomatic pistol.

“That was the biggest thing that they had, my gun now and could potentially use this gun on other people,” she said.

And what, exactly, is the point of having a gun if you are just going to hand it over to the criminal and not use it?

I wonder if this clown was in legal possession of her handgun. She’s lucky it wasn’t used to kill someone.

It’s a game if you consider it moves them up in the gangbanger hierarchy, and in turn the gang leaders know a juvie won’t have consequences.
