Detroit carjackers are in a class by themselves. They even stripped Jesse Jackson’s Escalade some time ago. The black yuffs need cars just like everybody else.
Detroit, what the rest of the USSA will look like before long.

Detroit motorists under siege in ‘Carjack City’
AP 5/23/2014
DETROIT (AP) — When they pull up to a gas station these days, Detroit drivers are looking beyond the price per gallon at a far more threatening concern: carjackers.
The armed auto thieves have become so common here that parts of the bankrupt metropolis are referred to as “Carjack City,” and many motorists fear getting out of their vehicles even for a few moments to fill a tank.
So gas stations are taking steps to protect customers, and the city has formed a special police team to go after suspects. Convicted carjackers will even get their faces and prison sentences plastered onto billboards.
“You need to catch these people and make a good example of them,” said Mousa Bazzi, who owns a Mobil station in a semi-desolate neighborhood bordering Detroit’s east riverfront. He keeps his business well-lit and continually has two to four employees inside to ensure “there’s always an extra hand or two” in case of trouble.
Authorities blame many of the carjackings, ironically, on improvements in vehicle security. Anti-theft equipment, GPS systems and advanced locks now prevent many vehicles from being driven without a key in the ignition.
That makes it difficult or impossible for thieves to steal parked cars, leading them to target vehicles that are occupied, said Jonathan Parnell, of Detroit’s auto-theft squad.
Also contributing to the thefts is a strong demand for stolen wheels and tires, police said.
Bazzi’s station displays pale-green decals depicting a lighthouse — a sign that his business has joined the city’s anti-carjacking effort. To be part of the program, stations must have security cameras, good lighting, be open 24 hours and have clerks willing to help motorists and provide a phone for emergency calls.
“There is a waiting list,” Sgt. Michael Woody said. “We have so many gas stations that want to become a lighthouse. You get better protection with that big sticker in the window that tells criminals there is proper equipment that will help police investigate these crimes.”
Detroit police reported 720 carjackings last year in the city of fewer than 700,000 people. That’s down from nearly 850 in 2011 and 1,231 in 2008.
The decline may partly be due to Detroit’s freefalling population, but the thefts still exceed the carjackings in some comparably sized U.S. cities.
Sharlonda Buckman, executive director of a Detroit nonprofit, was at a gas station on an October morning when she ran inside for aspirin. Back inside her SUV, she was just closing the door when she saw a carjacker shove his gun inside.
She screamed and jumped out of the vehicle. The carjacker jumped in and drove off. Three other customers gave chase in their vehicles. One caught up to the SUV and got shot in the leg by the carjacker, who was later arrested.
Now, Buckman said, she tries not to pump gas at all.
“If the night catches me, I won’t pump gas in the city,” she said. “Or I’ll call somebody to meet me.”
It’s difficult to know how Detroit’s carjackings rank nationally because many police agencies lump carjackings with all armed robberies in annual reports to the FBI.
Newark, New Jersey, with a population of 280,000, had 382 carjackings last year, giving it a per capita rate that is actually higher than Detroit’s. Memphis, Tennessee, with a population of 655,000, had slightly more than 400 carjackings over three years from 2011 through 2013. El Paso, a rapidly growing western Texas city of 670,000, reported only 15 carjackings last year and 18 in 2012.
Through May 19, Detroit has recorded 191 carjackings in 2014, including the Feb. 24 shooting death of CVS security guard Courtney Meeks, who rushed toward a car being taken by three men, and the Feb. 4 slaying of Donald Bradshaw, a 68-year-old man who was beaten to death with a tire iron after he was carjacked at an intersection.
Prosecutors, the FBI and Detroit police recently announced a campaign to spread the word about stiffer federal penalties for carjacking, which can include the death penalty if someone is killed. A similar campaign that includes billboards with photos of convicted carjackers started last summer in Newark.
Detroit police have also announced a partnership with General Motors’ OnStar roadside assistance service to track down stolen vehicles and promote rewards tied to an anonymous tip line.
To avoid becoming a victim, security guard Greg Champion wears a handgun on his hip whenever he’s pumping gas.
“I don’t want to surprise you,” Champion said. “I want you to know I’m armed, and I want you to know I can defend myself, and I want you to go somewhere else.”
Christine Reed takes the opposite approach. The 27-year-old mother of two won’t stop for gas in Detroit. She lives north of the city in Warren and works four days a week cleaning offices downtown.
If she’s in a bad section of town, Reed said, she passes through red lights because it’s tougher to carjack a moving target.
“It’s not a safe place anymore,” Reed said. “It’s dangerous.”
The state-appointed emergency manager tasked with restructuring Detroit’s $18 billion in debt has said crime needs to be reduced to make the city attractive to new residents and businesses.
That’s going to take more and better resources, said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, who complains that she has only a few assistants to try carjackings.
“When nobody has any resources … all we can be is reactive,” she said.
Concealed carry.
“We don’t recommend fighting back.” Of course you don’t you fucktard; you want us all to submit to whatever tyranny comes our way be it local or otherwise. SSS has it right. Concealed carry.
3 thoughts: 1) To elaborate on SSS’ post: Concealed carry. Or open carry. Or both. I love Alaska.
2) These fuckers are mostly going for new cars, right? With high-tech security features, and with full coverage insurance, right? Equip the fucking cars with a self-destruct function, remote controlled. Give up your car (don’t resist), then hit the “Easy Button”. After a few of these shitbags get vaporized, maybe this won’t look like such an attractive career choice.
3) Get the fuck out of Detroit, and do not stop there. For any reason.
Reading the article made me laugh. I want a lighthouse on my door, fuck that, put a picture of an AK 47 on the door.
I have been carrying a pistol most of my adult life and can’t imagine having it any other way. Most of my friends have semi-auto rifles in their vehicles. An AK SBR is my choice of truck gun. Scary little bastard if you don’t have a flash suppressor on it.
Shit like this is rare in Florida except in the big city liberal hell holes.
Bullock is right. I am a Floridian and when some “yuff” pulls this crap down here there is usually a story on the evening news of the “yuff” assuming room temperature, usually after the cops put 200-300 rounds into him, but often at the hands of an armed citizen.
White men and women should always be armed these days, legally if possible, ignoring the “law” if you must. I admit that, though I have a concealed carry permit I am sometimes lazy; I hope I don’t pay for that with my life.
Violent attacks by black criminals and others against whites are increasing everywhere. These things happen in a matter of seconds and you must be prepared. If you carry a gun know how to use it and be mentally prepared to do so. If you don’t know how to use it, learn, and if you think you can’t shoot another “human being”, get tough quick. One more thing. You never “shoot to kill”. Never. You shoot to stop the threat, even if that means emptying your Glock into some animal attacking you and your family. You shoot until he or she stops being a threat to you, period. In practice, this usually means when they are lying prone and motionless on the ground with no weapon remaining in their hand. Even a severely wounded criminal can still kill you before he dies unless you make sure he is totally incapacitated. I know a man who was shot twelve times with a 9mm by a hired killer in South America. He is still alive, minus an eye and a kidney; he managed to put two rounds into the assassin, who later died from a lack of medical care (couldn’t go to a hospital). I am not a gun nut and will not lecture on what gun to carry. I carry a Browning Hi Power 9mm with self-defense ammo but a good friend with much experience in the matter told me once that the only thing you want in a gunfight is a .45, and he was not talking out of his ass. Never, ever fire a warning shot. If you draw your weapon the next move you make should be a squeeze on the trigger. You DO NOT use a gun to threaten people (clarification: legally and in terms of common sense you may be able to allow a potential assailant know you are armed and thus avoid a gunfight, but if you are in imminent danger and pull your gun, shoot – or you did not have sufficient reason to draw it in the first place). If possible leave the area immediately and get safe (there may be more than one of them around) and call a lawyer and the police, in that order. NEVER SAY ONE WORD TO THE POLICE ABOUT THE INCIDENT UNTIL YOU SPEAK TO YOUR LAWYER. NEVER. Put the number of a couple of local criminal defense attorney’s in your cellphone. You will need them.
Sage: good advice! In aviation we call it Situational Awareness or simply SA. Observe what is happening around you. Avoid negro infested shitholes at all costs! Get fuel during the day and in a safe(WHITE) neighborhood. It’s really sad than an American of any color has to be in fear of his/her life when doing something as simple as pumping gas. Maybe we need to literally “ride shotgun” once again. Safe weekend to all.
The murders in Detroit start in utero
Doctor: Detroit abortion stats ‘like some Third World country’
One in three babies aborted in Detroit…
Karen Bouffard The Detroit News
Nearly one-third of all pregnancies in the city of Detroit end in abortion, a statistic public health officials blame on rising poverty and dwindling access to affordable contraception.
Of an estimated 18,360 pregnancies among Detroit residents in 2012, the most recent year for which data are available, 5,693 ended in abortion, or 31 percent.
During that same year, an estimated 160,219 pregnancies were reported in Michigan, with 22,699 abortions.
That translates into a Detroit abortion rate — the number of abortions by population, including women who weren’t pregnant that year — of 37.9 per 1,000 women aged 15-44. That’s up from 27.5 per 1,000 women in 2001.
It’s a staggering three times greater than Michigan’s statewide rate, which declined from 12.6 abortions per 1,000 women during child-bearing years, to 11 per 1,000, over the same period.

Jesse Jackson’s SUV Stripped In Detroit
A 2009 Cadillac Escalade SUV belonging to Jesse Jackson was stolen and stripped of its wheels in Detroit last weekend while the civil rights leader was in town promoting green jobs.
Jackson was in town meeting with UAW President Bob King to discuss an upcoming “Jobs, Justice and Peace” rally when the vehicle was stolen from a parking lot near Doubletree Hotel in downtown Detroit.
The SUV was later found by police, sans its rims and wheels and featuring a broken passenger-side window.
Detroit columnist Henry Payne called the grand theft auto “a fitting metaphor for what Jesse and his pals have done to the auto industry for the last 35 years.”
“time long ago passed Detroit by because Jesse’ favored government mpg mandates and UAW wages stripped the Big Three’s ability to compete against non-union transplants. These jobs were real – unlike the artificial, government subsidized green jobs he shakes down the feds for today,” Payne wrote.
A few days after Jackson’s SUV was stolen, a GMC Yukon Denali owned by Detroit Mayor Dave Bing was also stolen, later to be found resting on bricks, also missing its rims.
It is not known if the two incidents are related.

“Surrender your vehicle, it’s the safest thing to do.”
Because I’m too fucking fat and lazy to get out of his chair and help you!
Michigan has a pretty good concealed carry law, and law-abiding citizens have been racking up a significant body county of felons in Detroit over the last year. At one point the police chief even encouraged people to arm themselves.
And no, this isn’t a preview of what’s coming to nicer areas, because nicer areas have better people and a greater ability and willingness to stop, by any necessary means, these violent felons.
“50 + years of black liberal democratic so called leadership and this is what you get.”
Uh, they had lots of white mayors too. It wasn’t the color of the mayors or politics.
The problem was the auto industry & good jobs disappeared = no tax base. Next step = debt. Many parts of the south are just as shitty. Common denominator = no jobs.
The whole USA is becoming like Detroit & the jobs disappear under liberal or conservative leadership because they all practice the same bullshit economics. Wars, debt, inflation – it will not change unless U have someone like Ron Paul in office who follows the Constitution.
