    Carjackers open fire on family in Mississippi: video (nypost.com)

    Armed carjackers opened fire on a Mississippi family in their own driveway Friday and tried to take off in the victims’ vehicle with young kids still inside, a shocking video shows.

    The doorbell camera footage obtained by local news station WAPT shows two men walking up to the family’s Jackson home with at least one gun pointed at a woman, Heather Allen, and her adult son standing next to a black car parked in the driveway.

    A gunshot can be heard as the pair duck and hide behind the car while the men get closer, brandishing the firearm, the clip shows.



    Wow these thugs are getting more brazen. Thank God nobody was hurt

    I can only hope they try that with the wrong person some day soon. If they would lock them up for at least 80 years and toss the keys when they catch them it would stop a lot of that.

    hmmm, non-lethal street crime in Jackson Mississippi. Whatever could have caused the poster to inform us of this?

    Things like this would probably happen less if Trumppublicans didn't make it so easy for anyone with a pulse to get a firearm without legitimate background checks.

    If the victims had pulled guns, you might have had a firefight. And then people would have been hurt or killed.

    It's great to see Trump supporters are really anti-crime again!!! *


    * Now do the conspiracy to overturn an election by your political leader, and the beating of hundreds of cops.

    I feel like there was sarcasm in the post you replied to.

    I prefer to speak plainly. These threads typically only get made if a minority and/or immigrant is the perpetrator of the crime. The word “thug” is also often used as a substitute for a racial epithet.

    When inside sit with ar15 in your lap waiting for the inevitable home invasion. When the citizen is outside have a holstered gun and be well practiced in quick-draw. Then, finally, it will be safe in ‘merica.

    I don't agree. Anyone of any color that does what these two did here are thugs. I think if it were two white guys it is the same deal. I don't care what color they are they need to be locked up.

    You're clearly not familiar with the OP's posting history

    No, please keep up. On Jan 6th those that beat LEO men and women for hours and gleefully sprayed mace in the officers faces were not thugs, they were patriots! (Or fbi agents in a psy-ops, depends what Dear Leader says).

    I think there must be a website called black-on-white-crime.com that the OP gets his links from.

    I did not invoke the "sarcasm" warning....
