Was the /s tag missing? That sounds like something the dead carjacker’s Momma would say.

“The man, whose name has not been released, was armed with a gun and trying to carjack a 24-year-old man who was heading into work shortly before 6 a.m. Monday, Milwaukee Police Capt. Andra Williams said.

The 24-year-old had a valid concealed carry license and fatally shot the man, said Ald. Cavalier Johnson, who called a news conference late Monday about the shooting.”

Excellent!

“...Auto theft is not a reason to take a life...”

Car-jacking uses force that may kill the car owner. When one shoots at the center of mass at such a perpetrator they are defending their life and the lives of this guys’s next 20 victims. By all means people need to use deadly force to defend themselves in these situations.

How can you be certain the carjacker will not do bodily harm to you? After all he is willing to commit serious crime. He is not likely to be courteous about your safety.

Auto theft is not a reason to take a life.

Guess you missed the part that the would be carjacker was armed making it an armed robbery. Very valid that this thug is dead before he killed a robbery victim.

Another Snowflake melts!

Must be those classes on gender studies and cultural diversity at the local Community College didn’t provide Gerome or tayshon with the proper skills to see the down side to his career choice.

Sure it is.

“The man, whose name has not been released, was armed with a gun and trying to carjack a 24-year-old man who was heading into work shortly before 6 a.m. Monday, Milwaukee Police Capt. Andra Williams said.”

...Auto theft is not a reason to take a life...

But, fear of death or immediate great bodily harm is.

Armed or strongarm robbery is though which accounts for 100% of carjackings.

Amen. So why would the carjacker take a chance with his life?

Toughen-up. The criminal threatened their lives. Good riddance.

Car jacking is epidemic in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee PD had a policy of not chasing the scum. It got so bad the politicians forced the Police Chief to reverse the policy

Maybe some didn't read the entire article, but the carjacker had a gun. It was absolutely justified for the victim and concealed carry holder to shoot the armed carjacker.

Maybe that's cleared up for everyone by now.

They didn't have to chase this dirtbag ... looks like our armed citizen saved the people of Milwaukee a whole lot of trouble and expense.

Apparently the person defending themselves thought differently.

blogger doesnt care or know the difference between auto theft and carjacking. carjacking means threatening the person for their car, usually with a lethal weapon.
