Philadelphia is unable to control its violent carjacking criminals, so rather than double down on their efforts, they’ve released a handy-dandy pamphlet on how to not die while having your car stolen. There is no single issue that is more important to me, or the members of the PPD, than fighting violent crime. One of the more disturbing trends that we have seen is the startling increase in the number of carjackings. Here is what we’re doing about it: https://t.co/mKJZZL363U pic.twitter.com/yVHsFNLdkM — Danielle M. Outlaw (@PPDCommish) January 13, 2022 My favorite part of the convenient leaflet is “Tip: Exercise heightened awareness in carjacking hotspots” which includes parking lots, garages, gas stations, ATMs, and your own driveway. Basically everywhere cars go.
The Philadelphia Police Department’s (PPD) Facebook page claims there were 757 carjackings in 2021, a 34% increase from 2020. The PPD arrested 150 people and solved 93 carjackings, meaning they cracked just over 12% of all carjackings. Stellar! FACT-O-RAMA! This isn’t the first time Philly has issued a brochure in the face of extreme violence. The Philly school superintendent once issued a brochure to Asian students about how to not annoy the black kids who were beating the hell out of them. The guide suggests you avoid any confrontation with the rascal looking to take away the car you use to get to work so that you can feed your family. And don’t forget to inform the scamp if your kid is in the back seat. FACT-O-RAMA! Some states, like Michigan, allow lawfully armed citizens to shoot armed carjackers. The PPD’s aptly named Commissioner, Danielle Outlaw, wrote this on the PPD’s Facebook page : It is clear that carjackings are a crime of opportunity, and it is possible that […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
