More details about how this went down:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...05a_story.html

Car hijacking has become a thing in most metro areas. The hijackers are usually minors, some as young as 10.

Most are rarely caught. When caught, they understand their age works in their favor.

Most cars are abandoned shortly after a successful hijacking.

In December, in Chicago, an armed retired firefighter got into a shootout with high jackers. He lost.

Whole thing on video. Police identified and arrested 3/4 shortly thereafter. The 4th was arrested in Pennsylvania on other charges.

Note to self: Do not resist a car jacker. Toss in credit card for gas money or whatever which will likely lead to identification.

Actually, I don't think that any suspects for any crimes should be named. After all, they're still presumed innocent. If they are later found guilty in a court of law, then they should be identified.

A violent carjacking and murder committed by juveniles in Southeast DC. You don't need to ask their skin color. You can take a guess, and you'll be about 99.99 percent likely to be right.

Exactly. I moved there, registered as a Democrat, in the mid-80s. Didn't take long to see with my own eyes what a failure social programs meant to help the poor really were. I didn't stay registered as a (D) after seeing that first-hand. Don't judge a government program by its intentions; judge it on its results.

This is the result of being raised in the ghetto/on the streets, with no father and a mother who doesn't give a s**t.
