There was a similar video of a MMA fighter going through the same ordeal.

That didn’t look like a carjacking to me.

It was interesting that the crowd in the park seemed like they were running to help stop the crime. Never seen that in NY before.

You say that like they’re two different entities. I’d say all of them are criminals.

Even worse. Whatever they stole from the back of his car was not worth his life.

Same basic thoughts crossed This Guy’s mind.

In the moment though. Can you get past the righteous anger.

Correct, nobody can write a accurate headline, or news article for that matter, anymore.

Unless my wife or kids were in the car I wouldn’t risk my life to keep it from being stolen.

OTOH I live in rural Texas. In the very unlikely event someone tried to steal my car I would just shoot him.

An effective car theft protection: manual drive.

Does anyone still sell cars with manual transmission?

I learned how to drive in an old truck with three on the tree and later moved up to four on the floor. My first several cars were manual transmission. The first car I ever bought with automatic was for my wife in our early 30s. I haven't owned a vehicle with manual in almost 30 years now.

When I taught my kids how to drive I wanted to teach them how to drive manual, but couldn't find a car that I could buy, borrow or rent with standard transmission.

There was a carjacking case where the carjackers shot the driver dead when they realized that they couldn’t drive a stickshift..

you go ahead...this out of shape 70yro grandma is going to scream and scratch and pull the entire time....

keep letting them do this....IN BROAD DAYLIGHT....with people milling about, no telling what they'll do next....

of course they're already raping women in the middle of the day on the streets.....

fight people....life is not worth living if you live in fear and have every single dignity taken from you by low IQ animals...
