Not the norm for car jacking in this area, at least not YET. I am sorry the mom and daughter had to go through that experience. From the article, it's clear that Josiah McCray, Jurdon Bryant-Beasley, Elrich Haliburton and Nyariee Richardson are pillars of the local community who were just wanting to borrow the vehicle to take their grandmothers to dialysis, with church and community college classes later in the day.

If you shoot the first one, do the rest scatter like roaches, or do they actually press home the attack against an unexpectedly resistive target? Annecdotal data seems to suggest the former rather than the later, but what do you think? Are they really that committed? This gets heatedly debated on other forums.

I would think that coward thugs, which is what these punks are, would hightail it when their intended target chose not to be a victim.

Number one rule- Open your eyes. If there are five or six "youths" about, keep on truckin'.

They were pulled out of their vehicle and struck with the guns.

I think if you were to shoot one of them, they would not scatter but shoot back.

However, I doubt most guys on this list would be targeted for this type of crime.

Scumbags usually look for easy victims. Even the toughest of tough guys would prefer not to get shot.

Yeah.

I can see it now.... <insert blurred image alluding to a vision of the future>
"Yo, your honor. My clients a fine upstanding young men and pillars of this community -- Pillars I say. This whole thing is nothing but a big misunderstanding. The alleged "victims" made it clear that they wanted my clients to take their car and asked to be struck in the head. My clients hesitantly obliged these ladies wishes."

Makes me think of Raylan Givens. What would a US marshal do?

Love the ads celebrating black history on that page.

Criminals regardless of race should be dropped into woodchipper. The world is overpopulated and removing cancer is never a negative. Criminals are almost never rehabbed and continue to be a burden on society. Why house and feed them when those resources could be put to better use.

I think they all run the second you respond with gunfire..

I also think that seeing that it is Denver they all get off with probation and a slap on the wrist.

IMO #1 rule : LOCK YOUR DOORS!

#2 stomp that gas pedal GTF out of there, ASAP.

As to rule #1 : Their cars are probably of late enough model that the doors automatically unlock when shifted into park.
And to #2 : They probably didn’t have the mindset to do anything but stare like a deer in high beams at the thugs as they were pulled out of their cars.

This is why God gave us Gum Creek Holsters, love mine, and it's legal. Verified by two LEO's.

On most vehicles lock options are programmable thorough some obtuse combination of key operations combined with some other switch.

Upon receipt of my new [then] 2007 Ridgeline, I immediately programmed the locks to lock when the car is put in gear and NEVER unlock except by explicit operation.

Anecdotal evidence seems to show groups like this will scatter once a counter-ambush starts and shots are fired. They might squeeze off a shot or two, but they'll run. I doubt they're disciplined enough or trained well enough to stay in the fight. Video after video of incidents like this on YouTube and elsewhere almost always shows them hauling ass once the good guy starts to shoot back. A few might not but I think the odds are in favor of a victim (or bystander) who puts up an aggressive defense with a gun.

ETA: Having said all that, 6 to 1 are difficult odds at best.

IF the mindset was there. Or even a basic survival instinct. A 2000 lb car trumps even 6, 200 lb attackers. Of course one has to also wrap their head around the mentality of IT'S MY NEW PRIUS! .
Like we stress during handgun training. LET THAT MAG DROP!! It's $25 to replace the mag. How much will it cost to replace you??

Sounds like you have cheap clientele that aren’t shooting HK’s…..
