"SPOKANE–– Spokane Police are investigating a drive thru car-jacking that happened after a fight over loud music.

Police say two men in a gray four door Mitsubishi Lancer pulled up in the McDonalds drive through in the 900 block of Indiana Avenue with loud music playing.

Two men in the car in front of them, a white four door passenger car waiting to order, yelled to the men in the Lancer to turn the music down. Apparently there was then some kind of confrontation between the men in both vehicles.

Police say that's when the suspects in the white vehicle got out of their car and held the men in the Lancer at gun point, telling them to get out of the car. The victims complied.

Police say the suspects took off with the Lancer and the white car they were originally driving heading southbound on Monroe Street.

Spokane Police checked the area for both vehicles but were unable to locate them.

The plate on the gray Lancer is Washington license plate # 318TDF. The suspects can only be described as two large white males with bald heads. If the Lancer is seen please immediately call 911 and report it to your local law enforcement agency. "


My vigilante side says: Good Jacking!!! I hope they beat the crap out of the car and completely destroy the sound system. Why can't people play their radios at a decent volumne that does not distract other drivers/etc.... especially at an order window where people are trying to communicate!

My common sense side says: I understand what they were trying to prove... but broke a lot of laws and hope they don't get caught....


Other thoughts: No machine gun or assualt gun terminology from the press? It was vital that they described the men as large white males with bald heads? Notice the report is that the two guys in the loud music car got out to puff up when words were exchanged, until the "big white bald guys" pulled a gun upon who's sight they "retreated"! Lesson: don't be an ass, ASS! HAHAHA.

Seriously?

So your ok with someone carjacking you at gunpoint if they deem your completely legal, but possibly annoying behavior inappropriate?

WTF, how does loud music justify pointing a gun at someones head? Grand Theft Auto? I hope they are caught and charged, what they did is a violent crime. The Lancer driver should get a noise citation if the McD's wants to persecute them.

Guess I'll have to repost/quote myself too. I did not condone their actions... as much as I'd like to play it through:

My common sense side says: I understand what they were trying to prove... but broke a lot of laws and hope they don't get caught....

And that should probably read: "My common sense side says: I understand what they were trying to prove... but broke a lot of laws and should pay for it."

And make sure you actually watch/listen to the vid too. The text doesn't pull all the details out.

Car 1 trying to order.
Car 2 playing music too loud.
Car 1 asks/yells at Car 2 to turn it down.
Car 2 gets attitude and gets out of car heading for car 1.
Car 1 gets out and draws down (threat of harm retaliation?)
Car 2 gets back in car.
Car 1 says no, gets and pays for order, and takes both cars.

On teh street, Car 2 folks were "disrespectin' and axin' for it" or whatever the terminology was.

In all legalese, yes what Car 1 did was wrong and should be held accountable. I'd rather read this than something along the lines of:

Car 1 trying to order.
Car 2 playing music too loud.
Car 1 asks/yells at Car 2 to turn it down.
Car 2 gets attitude and gets out of car and shoots occupants of car 1.
McDonalds shuts down for an hour... lines out the door.

WTF, cut him some slack. He didn't pull a gun, he posted a thread. I know what he is talking about. I can't stand the loud music listening, direspectful kind of assholes he's talking about. Would I pull a gun on them, no, but I can think it's funny some else did.

i have to say, it kind of made me laugh.

i know, i know i am racist.

i pictured immediately 2 urban yutes (thug type) pulling up, bass thumping, gold tooth, bad asses, and they got punked.

i know its wrong, but it feels right on so many levels.

And once again... everyone is more eloquent than I. That sums up my feelings exactly HBAR, thank you.

except that wrong is wrong, no matter how right it feels.

If we don't laugh about it or talk about it.....did it still happen? Sure it did and none of us had anything to do with it. Now what's wrong with laughing? It doesn't change a thing. JEEEEEEESH

Yes Sir, wrong is wrong. I hope you have a better day.

Take care.
