Was it a damsel in distress?

And MoCo and MD are so anti-gun it's beyond belief. Yes, thankfully, SCOTUS has largely rained on their parade but they still restrict and prevent as much as they can. MD does not have a stand your ground law. If you do defend your life with a legal firearm, you'll be the one in prison not the bad guy. Are the cops bad? No, they're great and should be supported but here, and many defund, demoralize areas, they aren't. They can't get there fast enough and their ranks have been dangerously depleted. Better to carry a Byrna non -lethal firearm. Great American company that's kicking butt. Even cops are now carrying them instead of taser. Legal everywhere and you'll never go to jail for deploying it in self-defense.

Nice. Don't worry, those in charge are on it! In just over 30-days the enforcement arm of MC is ready willing and able to take down any gas leaf blower scofflaws.

Working for you everyday!

Can't wait for the PL. Then we can have criminals using public transportation east-west instead of the inequality of just north-south.

Surprising because area is usually pretty quiet on the weekends.

I put an Apple Air-Tag under my Spare Tire. Everyone should put one of these devices in their car, so they can likely be able to locate their car after a Carjacking………

Getting the car back isn't necessarily a good thing. Like a burglary, even if everything is pretty much intact (rare), you'll always wonder what went on and who did what where. We had a car stolen years ago, would have been less anxiety and grief to just not see it again. Thet really ruin everything eventually, we can't have anything nice.

The only upside to these crimes is that the likelihood that the victim is an inviting liberal is equal to the percent voting to ask for more of the same. That's another reason why good Samaritan intervention would be ridiculous, they never back you up, much less even thank you.

9:31 - Or anywhere hidden in the car. Great idea.

Same bull was said about Metro, never occurred. Chicken Little syndrome again.

Do you really want your car back after these MC Council supporters have driven the life out of it, smoked it out with weed and committed other serious crimes using it?

@ 6:24 AM That's because it is occurring within the Metro.
