Popular car

[Buford57]

Apparently the Dodge Durango is a popular target for carjackers in DC. Unfortunately for one young thug it is also popular with the US Marshal's Service. According to CBS news an 18 year old tapped his gat on the window of Justice Soto-Mayor's security detail last night and got a bullet in the jaw for his trouble.

I love a story with a happy ending!

He was just trying to get a ride to bible study. Right ?

Blessed are the peacemakers.

How soon before we see his graduation picture?

Bad shot

Who said Crime is decreasing, that data
is skewed. Anyway, I like a good story.

My only complaint is that the Marshal
needs to go to the Pistol Range and
work on Marksmanship.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Reminds me of the would be mugger in Rio de Janiero who attempted to rob a young woman waiting for an Uber ride who, unfortunately for him, turned out to be a pro MMA fighter...

Y'know, if this sort of thing happened more often, I'll bet there'd be a lot fewer carjackings...

The blip at the bottom of this article shows that the Secret Service could also do with some range time.

"...She was told the man had been arrested before and was not long released for a previous crime."

Sounds all too familiar

I don't think that Justices who vote against the second amendment should get an armed security detail. Oh, the hypocrisy! Maybe a crises management therapist would be more appropriate. Or, a whole team of them.

Yup. What He said.

Makes me think of that block commercial the Gunny made . A guy walks in to a diner to hold it up , it's full of officers and they draw down on him . The camera pans to a poster welcoming officers to a convention . There's a dumb*** born every day , it's up to them how they turn out .

Happens in real life. In WA a guy walked right past a marked Sherrifs patrol vehicle into a gun store where the uniformed deputy is talking to the armed owner and a couple cutomers, fires a shot into the ceiling and declares his intent to rob the store. Ever helpful, the deputy and the owner immediately gave him a lifetime supply of handgun projectiles, saving him from a life of further criminal activities. Or any activities, for that matter.

Pennsylvania State Police are switching over from the Ford Explorer and Taurus to the Durango and the Charger after 40 years of FoMoCo vehicles.

The marked ones are obvious, but the unmarked? Damn. They blend right in, especially the Durangos.

The Charger is the last man standing of a V8 rear wheel drive 4 door American sedan (that happens to be assembled in Canada).

Glad to see that we're doing our part to help keep America safe

Well, that should make it difficult for him to speak in his own defence.

Are they going to sell the Taurus cruisers?
