See Chicago Carjacking in Your Chevrolet
WSJ ^ | 15 Feb 2022 | Bob Greene

It’s a carjacking booth—specifically, a booth staffed by sheriff’s office personnel to warn attendees of the deadly dangers presented by the current wave of violent carjackings on Chicago’s streets and to give those car-show fans tips about how to avoid becoming the next victims.

Late last year, the city of Chicago announced that it was installing “bleeding control kits” in hundreds of buildings.

The idea was that if a person is shot, stabbed or beaten, it would be helpful to have medical supplies nearby until an ambulance can arrive. So in 269 buildings, including public libraries, senior-citizen centers and City Hall, 426 of the kits were mounted on walls. Inside each kit, according to the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications, were tourniquets, gauze, scissors and gloves. The kits were stocked with enough stop-the-bleeding supplies to take care of up to eight victims until police or EMTs rolled up.

I couldn’t read to the end. Were the “bleeding control kits” all stolen?

We don’t really have any Carjackings at my house in Arizona and we don’t get them in Henderson either? Why is that?? It can’t be because in Nevada you can have your loaded weapon on the front seat and in Arizona you can always carry a loaded weapon. There must be another reason???

I’ve told this story before, but here we go again. A friend’s brother got a job in Chicago. He arrived a few days early. As he pulled up to a light a car full of blacks pulled up beside him. They pointed guns at him. He turned around and drove home and called in on Monday saying he wouldn’t be moving there.

Think this through. How many tax paying worker types have had some Chicago experience that told them, “Ya’ know? I don’t need this. Life is too precious.” Multiply that by the hundreds of people and their myriad reasons and the total impact amortized over decades will be devastating.

Since Chicago is already a lost case, why not make it Constitutional Carry overnight.
I bet shootings and carjackings will go down rapidly with the possibility of victims shooting back.
I bet the total number of gun death will be less than what they are now.
The Left have no problems experimenting with human lives when it comes to Covid jabs, so why not this?

I made my escape from Los Angeles in 1982. I was born there but my wife is from the Salt Lake City area. A few visits to Sandy, UT and I was outta L.A. What a third world hole. Never been sorry for even one nanosecond.

I am told that after the super bowl Rams fans wrecked the city, but you can’t really tell.

—” in Nevada you can have your loaded weapon on the front seat”

In some areas of Chiraq most everyone has a loaded weapon in the car, and that does not even count the police.

Maybe Dirty Harry with his lightning draw can get that iron in position before homie pulls the trigger.
Or maybe not?

The old root cause is the society that harbors and praises the carjacker and judges that return them to the streets.

An when there is a carjacking in Henderson, there really isn’t: https://www.crimeonline.com/2021/02/24/nevada-woman-makes-up-carjacking-hit-and-run-story-after-she-runs-over-man-killing-him/

When I left Hollywood in 1982 the neighborhood had few fences. When I went back to visit relatives in 1996 virtually every home had iron bars on the windows. It went to hell pretty quickly.

I see victims returning fire stories about once a week, but only cold weather slows them down.

This guy prevailed!
many do not.

The premise of the movie "Escape from New York" was that it was easier to make Manhattan New York a giant prison than it would be to build prisons for all the criminals.

Knowing Hollywood has no originality, it's likely the idea came from plans after the 1960s riots.

Do NOT "fix" their crime problems - that only chases them out of their designated Urban Reservations into normal neighborhoods.
