Spencer Platt/Getty Images There have been at least 140 carjackings in Philadelphia already in 2022 and we are still in the first week of February.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported police put the number of carjackings at 140 on February 3, 2022, and there have been over two days since then for other carjacking crimes to occur in the city.
One-hundred-and-forty carjackings through February 3 was “double the year-to-date total from 2021.”
Breitbart News noted that there were at least 90 carjackings in Philadelphia during the first two weeks of 2022, and over 100 during the first three weeks of the year.
Last week, CBS Philadelphia explained that police believe “it’s a small group of criminals that are responsible for the majority of carjackings in the city, and they say social media is a driving force.”
Police indicated that the age of Philadelphia carjackers ranges “from 14 to 24.”
Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Ben Naish said, “Some carjackings that are getting social media attention are leading to other carjackings and that’s predominantly where a lot of juveniles are coming into play. We think they have been making somewhat of a spectacle or game at keeping score outta something like this.”

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!
