Elias Armstrong, 12, killed in shootout after owner used an app to track down his stolen vehicle.

[MR. SNIFLES]

do the cops actually do anything? we've seen multiple situations where the owners pull their guns out

THEY DO.

Why would you steal a car and then have a little kid in there. Hope the pieces of shyt that involved the kid are given life

I'd bet good money no one in that car was older than 16

 

[Wildin]

That anger don't go away. When my shyt was stolen, I found my car on Craigslist months after I had been paid out and bought a new car. I responded to the ad while loading up my gun. I don't know what I was gonna do but it was going to be stupid.

Take my car and I’m watching you in the app. I’ll turn on the horn, lock the door, control the music on the highest volume and blast the cold air in the middle of the winter. All before I hunt you down.

This.
The white hot anger you feel after being wronged like that will lead you to doing something
WILD.
So while I don't think the owner of the stolen vehicle should've taken this path, I definitely understand.

I'm getting old, grew up in the hood. Did dumb shyt in the hood but since when have 12 - 16 year old been menaces like this?

do people not have car insurance and gap coverage (if still financed). Why not tell the police where the app. spotted your car. He almost lost his life over a car and now a12 year old is dead. Not, saying these thieves are not at fault but the aftermath could have been avoided.

police don't respond to auto vehicle thefts as swiftly as you think they do.

yup and if you're car is stolen I think there is a stat if it's not recovered fast the odds are slim it will be.

[sanityovar8ted]

I WORK IN A PLACE THAT SUPPORTS ONE OF THESE APPS. THIS IS A CONSTANT CONCERN. WE WILL ONLY GIVE VEHICLE LOCATION TO THE COPS FOR THIS VERY REASON.
