Woman says she was carjacked by kids as young as 10
WREG Memphis ^ | February 10, 2023 | Jordan James

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis woman described one of the scariest moments of her life after she says she was carjacked at gunpoint by a 10-year-old boy and others.

The victim says she was carjacked by four kids who stole her 2012 Infiniti on Pearce Street in North Memphis on the morning of Dec. 10.

“He put the gun between my eyes and told me, ‘look me in my eyes’, with the gun, and told me to get out the car,” she said. “It was scary, but I got sense, baby. I slid out that car like Jello. I told him to be careful,” the woman said.

Weeks later, her vehicle was recovered, and the suspects were arrested. The youngest suspect was 10, she said; a police report described the suspects as juveniles.

But the victim said her joy was short-lived after learning the boy was released from custody.

“You mean to tell me that children can actually go, and carjack people and you release them immediately?” the woman said.

WREG reached out to the Shelby County Juvenile Court judge and a spokesperson told us how long suspects stay behind bars is determined on a case-by-case basis It primarily depends on the statute surrounding the offense.

Meanwhile, as the number of victims impacted by crime increases, the calls for change will continue.

The first punk that tries to car jack me like that gets to say hello to my Glock 19 and nearly 100 rounds of preloaded mags.

Well, on the plus side I just learned a fun new phrase.

Colleague: I noticed that you left the meeting early.
Me: I slid out of there like Jello.

Some Biden voter told me that people get mugged and assaulted because they’re out walking and don’t have cars.

Is there anybody who still believes leftists are just misguided, but their heart is in the right place?

This is the direct result of their policies. “We’re not going to arrest children for crimes”. It took a very short period of time before they realized they are untouchable as far as the law is concerned. This fact has not gone unnoticed by the older thugs, who now recruit them or press them into service.

Nuke Memphis from outer space and be done with this problem.

Those little brats have no fear. We’ve had twelve year-olds carjacking here in Chicago. Hand them a gun and it’s off to the races.

If we are lucky, the New Madrid Fault will open up and suck Memphis into the bottom of the Mississippi.

That guy deserved a bullet between the eyes.
I’ve never watched the movie as that one clip just made me angry.

Think Biden gives a speech in this one?

And he can tell us how many billions have been dumped into Memphis and wasted.

“Castrate them and send them home”

Best of all, turn them over to Dokttor “Rachel” Levine for advanced “gender affirming sex reassignment” experiments.

“...the boy was released from custody.”


Of course he was released from custody. He’s a 10-year-old juvenile. Chances are that if he had shot her between the eyes, he’d be released. That’s how juvenile laws work. Each state’s laws are different in this regard but there is an age, below which, a kid is untouchable by the law.
