Stage one of the new crime bill
On one hand I get it, all the community meetings and PSA's ain't working and in these cities like Chicago and Philly democratic positions going be up for grabs if incumbents don't do something to get the crime under control.

I never knew car jacking was a federal crime though, what's the logic behind that....
This isn't stage one of anything. If you click through to the link in the tweet:

The carjacking statute, 18 U.S.C. § 2119, which originally became effective on October 25, 1992, provided in relevant part:

Whoever, possessing a firearm ... takes a motor vehicle that has been transported, shipped, or received in interstate or foreign commerce from the person or presence of another by force and violence or by intimidation, or attempts to do so, shall þ (1) be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years or both; (2) if serious bodily injury results, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 25 years, or both; and (3) if death results, be fined under this title or imprisoned for any number of years up to life, or both.

On September 13, 1994, § 2119 was amended to read as follows:

Whoever, with intent to cause death or serious bodily harm takes a motor vehicle that has been transported, shipped, or received in interstate or foreign commerce from the person or presence of another by force and violence or by intimidation, or attempts to do so, shall (1) be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years or both, (2) if serious bodily injury results, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 25 years, or both, and (3) if death results, be fined under this title or imprisoned for any number of years up to life, or both or sentenced to death (emphasis added to highlight the 1994 changes to the statute).

This is an old statute.

What was your mindset before your mom got carjacked?

Getting car jacked has always been one of my fears while driving, its the sole reason I have a gun in the car.....

If my shyt got stolen while I was sleeping, that's different....but to have someone run up on you and threaten your life over a damn car is pretty much the same to me as a armed home invasion.

A dude car jacked my momma at gun point a couple years ago...stole her car and left her stranded with no money or phone. She had to walk like 20 mins to a convenience store to call the police and my lil brother

I have ZERO sympathy for muthafukkas that carjack....that shyt is personal to me. Let em rot in jail forever :yeshrug:
Tired of these bytch nikkas cause they not targeting shyt but innocent people. Almost turned a lil’ nikka into a fence a year ago cause he thought I was a lick. Had bytch running for his life. Glad your people is okay.

A lifetime behind bars?
A federal crime?

:mjpls:

What if that was your retired firefighter granddaddy in that video posted? You gone give them guys a slap on the wrist and say “it’s all good. Y’all my lil nikkaz and need to do better. Now go ahead and jack someone else but not my family ok?”
