Major cities across the US have observed carjackings spike by up to 510 per cent in a 'disturbing' trend some are attributing to lax punishment and a shift in driving habits. In line with an overall rise in violent crime across the nation, cities such as Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and New Orleans are experiencing a jump in violent vehicle takeovers as critics slam criminal reform systems.
Others say changes that have come about during the pandemic—including curbside pickup and an increased demand for delivery service—are contributing to the jump. In Chicago, 1,849 carjackings were reported last year—a 510 per cent increase from the 303 vehicular hijackings

"Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back"
Whoo dat?

The social justice District Attorneys paid for by George Soros are killing all our major cities.

All these DAs should be put in jail.

Buying a car new or used is so difficult, so the market is up for stolen cars.

Concealed carry will cut those numbers down to almost zero in a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, all of those cities are run by anti-constitutional leftists who won't allow citizens to protect themselves and defend their personal property.

How many of those carjackings were perpetrated by “White Supremists” in those leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat run cities? Since the Democrats claim that “White Supremists” are the greatest threat to US democracy the Democrats should readily have those figures available!

We need to make car jacking a terror event. Prosecute as terrorists not common criminals. Life in prison or execution if severe injury or death, but shout to kill on the spot during the crime should be the standard.

The word is out....Crime is not illegal any more. Soros prosecutors don't prosecute.
Criminals running wild, as any person with a few functional brain cells would know.

Lol, others say changes that have come about during the pandemic—including curbside pickup and an increased demand for delivery service—are contributing to the jump. Yea, that's it, it's those changes that did, it's the pandemic. Can't have nothing to do with the out of control black community. No, they have to find another excuse. Carjackings are a 99.9999999% black problem and not one mayor of those cities has the spine to address it. Facts are facts except in a democratic run city. Get it yet

Worst of all - - some of these 'jackers aren't vaccinated.
I think it should be mandatory to show a vax card - - before you can 'jack a car. And no fake ones either!

It’s not the pandemic- it’s a group-mostly inner city - if term still applies- teenagers armed with illegally obtained handguns who target White motorists. The demand phones and purses and steal the vehicle to get away. They know full well that if they are caught punishment will be mild

Well, the Dems and world-firsters are trying to get away from private ownership of cars and making them public property so anyone can use them. This is a great first step.

How you talk, Bro! It ain't no car-jacking, it's the African-American version of Uber called Reparations On Wheels.

People need to start carrying powerful bear spray in their front seats or installing bombs that go off 15 minutes after the secret button is pressed right before handing the car over to the jackers. Insurance may not cover your loss but the joy at seeing low IQ criminals going up in flames would be worth it. Oh, and there's the deterrent factor.

In Chicago, Philly and NOLA, it is relatively easy for an honest citizen to get a CCW permit.
There needs to be more shooting of carjackers by the folks they are trying to rob.

Yes, Do you see a pattern there. Big lawless Democrat controlled cities where they let criminals do as they wish. In the smaller cities in fly over country where many people are armed and don't accept that behavior, not so much.

People are probably driving a lot less now, thanks to working from home, leaving the workforce entirely, or sidestepping Brandon's $4/gallon gasoline. What's changed is that the USA proudly stood down while communist rioters looted and burned our cities, and their fellow travelers in the MSM and in government made it clear that bLACK people are blameless and have every right to lash out at their cultural oppressors, and that they will not be punished by the police, who also are bad. Americans are no longer safe in our homes or in our vehicles, and we're OK with that because Equity is our watchword.
