3 Men Blocked I-80 Ramp Before Early Morning Carjacking

A report indicates three suspects carjacked a vehicle on the I-80 ramp to I-355 in New Lenox early Saturday morning.

By Tim Moran (Patch Staff) - Updated July 23, 2017 12:41 am ET

NEW LENOX, IL -- A reported car jacking took place early Saturday morning on an expressway ramp. An incident was reported on police scanner traffic on the westbound Interstate 80 ramp to northbound Interstate 355.

Three men were blocking the ramp and asked the victim to use his phone before one of the men approached on the passenger side of the car with a gun around 4:35 a.m., according to a report from The Herald-News.

A Northern Illinois Fireground Photos Facebook post indicates the carjackers were three black men who were armed with a black semi automatic handgun at the time. They fled the scene in the victim's car, a 2012 grey Honda.

I still like the idea of flame throwers just below the doors. There was a cool pic of one of these.

I asked the question....were they just standing there? No one will block me in the middle of the night. I’d turn around or run right through them.

No problem. I’ve heard a lot worse on here. Didn’t even think about it.

The Morlocks are roaming far afield these days.

And so many are just like the Eloi, ready for the taking.

Driving while armed might be a good idea hereabouts...

I always do.

Use the Smith system for driving.

Aim high in steering
Get the big picture
Keep your eyes moving
Leave yourself an out
Make sure you’re seen

Not to highjack this thread (no pun intended), but when I was a teenager and saw the “Time Machine”, I left the theatre thinking that the Morlocks got a raw deal. They were the productive ones, although ugly, providing for the Eloi, building infrastructure, maintaining the planet, etc. The Eloi just happened to be human cattle.

And don’t ask me about “One Flew Over the Coo-coo’s Nest”.

Relieve the headache of highwaymen by applying directly to the head of said highwaymen a lead aspirin.
