Last Monday, a 17-year-old had guns pointed at his chest and head in a carjacking at 6:30 p.m. in front of his house in south Minneapolis. The assailant ditched his car several blocks away.
Then on Friday, an armed hit-and-run suspect tried to carjack a woman in north Minneapolis as she was heading to the kickoff of the Twin Cities Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle Campaign, capping a week of more than 50 attempted or successful carjackings in the city. Residents in Minneapolis, St. Paul and increasingly some suburban communities are experiencing a record surge in armed carjackings, crimes that are terrorizing victims, baffling police

Nothing mentioned in the article about any of the carjackers being arrested, indicted, put on trial or imprisoned. I wonder why.
Meanwhile, next door in Wisconsin…

Today it’s all about equity as far as the leftist and socialist Democrats are concerned. So it’s just equitable for the “Amish” who do not have motor vehicles to steal them from ordinary people who have worked to purchase and maintain their motor vehicles. Don’t be surprised if Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats don’t reward each “Amish” criminal with a new electric automobile of their choice at taxpayer’s expense and call that handout “reparations”.
Why not as Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats are pleased as punch that leftist and socialist lawyers who the Biden crew placed in the Justice Department are “negotiating” with the leftist Democrat aligned ACLU and their leftist and socialist Democrat and “open borders” supporting lawyers to settle bogus law suits on behalf of illegal aliens in amounts up to $450,000 each of up to one million dollars per illegal alien family because they were arrested by the Border Patrol after unlawfully entering the USA along the borderline, and were separated from their children by being placed in adult detention facilities, with their children being placed in other specific detention facilities the were designed to safeguard children. No doubt if such payouts are made at least half the payout money will end up in ACLU coffers and into the pockets of leftist and socialist Democrat lawyers who created those law suits to get such payouts of taxpayers money. Not only are those payouts instances of political corruption, but set a huge precedent to lure masses of illegal aliens to unlawfully enter the USA in the future.

I'm not sure how but somehow in some way I know this must be Trump's fault.

If I had the misfortune to live in Minneapolis, I would be constantly on edge. Being white and breathing is dangerous there...

One more proud achievement of all the blue wave morons who worship at the altar of leftist media. Every evil disaster they create is someone else's fault, until one of their policies hits them. The ' baffled ' impotent police are about right for the zombie rats that embrace the destructive and stupid ideas of the rat party.

Valley Self-Defense Lead instructor Peter Eisenberg said:..Don't fuss, hand over your car.
It that the same advice for a rape victim or a child napper?
Best defense against a jacker or a napper: a 9mm in the door pocket.

Two answers, just give up or arm yourself and fight back. Either path could get you hurt or killed.
I know which I will be most likely to take, although situations are frequently different than you think, and you must react to the actual situation, which may make armed response inadvisable.

Give them the car then when they start to drive away stand in front and pump full of lead. Self-defense.

It's amazing, nobody wants to say it. 99.999% of all carjackings are committed by, SHHHHHHHH, can't talk about it. Sickening and pathetic. Wanna end this mayhem, get caught and it's 25 years no bail, no parole. End of story, carjackings go to zero. Get it yet.

The evil of Satan is being condoned by those in power. What is to fear when there is no repercussion for Satan's encouraged lawlessness.

Good thing Mary Tyler Moore isn't living in Minneapolis any more - that nice Mustang of hers (the one she's washing in the opening scenes of her show) would definitely make her a target.
