Carjacking at 95th & Monrovia with baby in car ends safely

[petegz28]

So, a car was stolen\jacked at a Bank of America at 95th & Monrovia tonight with a 5 month old baby in the back. The car and baby were found at 79th & Wornall and the baby is safe.

This ended well but it happens too often. This is the perfect case for CCW, imo. Apparently one of the passengers was hit in the leg with a bat. It is unclear if the person was trying to save the child or not.

Having said that, what would you do if someone tried to take your car with your child in the back seat? It's a very scary thought but these days it seems to be one we must confront on a daily basis.

It makes you a scared little bitch, and means that you've already formed a negative opinion on someone w/o actually interacting with that person.

That's the kind of mindset that leads to clandestine racism.

The kind of mindset that makes someone feel like they need to carry a gun around with them all the time because of "ahhh scary black man".

That's the kind of mind set that leads a cop to shooting an unarmed black man who's reaching for his wallet.

1. Fear is a good thing. Fear will keep a man alive. Fear probably kept my dad alive. Yes, his mugger was black.

2. I'm not racist. Just this year I held the door open for a little old black lady exiting a dollar store.

3. I don't intend to carry a gun around all the time.

Fear is no way to live life and can be a gateway to bigotry.

I don't believe that you're racist.

You shouldn't feel the need to carry a gun on you at all. Especially if you're scared and automatically assume shit about people. That's how black kids get shot in Walmart while holding a toy gun.

I don't, and won't, live my life in fear. Ninety percent of the time I don't feel like I'm in danger.

GEE THANKS

Yeah, I don't feel a need to carry. But, I'm sure my dad didn't either. He does now.
