Think about this exact situation.

The driver would have to have his weapon in his left hand, under his coat, and aimed at his passengers, to have a chance at defending himself.

Otherwise, Once he’s exited the car, he’s then firing at fleeing suspects.

Everyone nowadays has a cell phone so don’t even stop.

If it looks like an emergency, call 911.

My days of charity are LONG GONE. Too broke to give a $#!t.

A comment from the CBS 4 web site:

Kudos to the reporter.

First time in decades I've seen an article like this that bothered to give sufficient details to help the public avoid and/or turn in such dangerous individuals.

It is good to see not all reporters are lazy liberals.

Maybe the man was the one who ran away from the batman shooter.

If there is 2 people and one is a man there is not much urgency to pull over in most cases.

Years ago, there was a young woman in my town who would park her car and go door to door, asking to use the phone. Her story would be that her car broke down and she needed to call her boyfriend to come get her. This was before cordless phones so she would have to walk into the house to make a phone call. Once she did get let in, her boyfriend would actually show up with jumper cables, to make it look real.

Turns out she was casing the houses and if the home was well furnished and not protected by an alarm system (or dog), chances are her boyfriend would return later to burglarize it.

Now here's where they showed some real genius. She would always get the phone number from the homeowner so she could give it to her boyfriend in case he needed to call back. This was how they got phone numbers that were unlisted. To verify nobody was home, they'd call that number on the night of the burglary and if nobody answered, they would know that the house was likely empty.

Homeowners never suspected a thing and the two of them didn't get caught until they had pulled some two dozen successful burglaries. Their big mistake was they didn't move to a new town fast enough and they eventually got bagged in a police stakeout.

So the car owner who has “white privilege” is griping about his car being “transformed”. The nerve of some people!!!!!

You got me. LOL.

I really didn’t think the /s was necessary.

“White-Hispanic couple.”

Ooops.

What does this mean?

[HLPhat]

>>From there we can figure out the rest.

Yeah, I used to think the same thing about the prostitution going on over on Pikes Peak.

Very shady part of town.

One of each partner.
