Re: So Carjackings are a thing these days... and so is shooting carjackers.
I'm going to go with "no situational awareness" but three carjackers.

Philadelphia reaches 1,000 carjackings for first time ever
Carjackings in Philadelphia have spiked in recent years and on Tuesday vehicle thefts in the City of Brotherly Love reached over 1,000 carjackings that have been reported this year alone, reaching an all-time high.
"Philadelphia goes over 1,000 carjackings for first time ever," Fox 29 Philadelphia reported Wednesday. "1,005 total carjackings at end of day September 27th."
Fox 29's Steve Keeley reporter said that the city*s number of carjacking had surpassed the previous record of 847 thefts in 2021, which had doubled from 410 carjackings in 2020.
2019 reportedly saw 225 vehicle thefts.
It is unclear why carjackings have so drastically shot up over the last two years and in January Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw warned the phenomenon was "not normal."
"What's happening here is not normal and I don't want anyone for any minute to begin to normalize this," Outlaw said.
The police chief speculated that one of the reasons for the increase in vehicle theft, often through armed or violent means, is that it has become a crime of opportunity as deliveries rose during the pandemic and have remained high since.
The pandemic also normalized mask wearing she said.
"We also know that this trend is not unique to Philadelphia, as similar increases have been seen across the country during the same time period," she said referring to other cities like Washington, D.C., Detroit and Baltimore where carjackings have jumped by 25 percent, 40 percent and 50 percent respectively since 2021.
Fox News could not immediately reach the Philadelphia Police Department for comment on the latest figures, though a department spokesperson last week also pointed out that the rise in crime in general was not unique to Philadelphia.
"Over the past several years, Philadelphia has seen a disturbing spike in the number of violent crime incidents including shootings, homicides, and carjackings. Unfortunately, these incidents have occurred throughout the country, and their occurrence is not unique to Philadelphia," the spokesperson said.
In 2020 Minneapolis saw a staggering 537 percent increase in carjackings between November 2019 to November 2020. Chicago reported a roughly 135 percent increase in all of 2020 and Washington, D.C reported similar figures at a 136 percent increase.

Make sure to show up at elections and vote for the Soros backed WFPUS.org candidate so car jacking numbers can go even higher along with shootings, rapes, murders, property crimes etc... There's no sense in having a civil society

Re: So Carjackings are a thing these days... and so is shooting carjackers.
More stats were in his Twitter post. Some situations are less applicable to the average citizen than others.
The majority of 2022*s 1,005 Philadelphia carjackings so far happened while
672 victims were sitting in parked vehicles. <- that's an urban thing, instead of using your living room couch. Not really applicable to YOU PEOPLE
113 delivery drivers were carjacked.
62 people were stopped. <- potential PAFOA scenario
45 were @Uber& @Lyft drivers.
26 at gas station. <- potential PAFOA scenario. Probably getting snacky-treats while parked at the WAWA
22 left running.
22 bumped in accident. <- potential PAFOA scenario. Tapped from behind, victim gets out to exchange information and bye-bye car
19 drivers were carjacked at red lights. <- potential PAFOA scenario
15 people were getting gasoline . <- potential PAFOA scenario. Probably actively pumping gas
6 drivers had listed their vehicles for sale when carjacked.
Lastly, 3 drivers were carjacked at a stop sign. <- potential PAFOA scenario
for the grand total of 1,005 carjackings so far through September 27th.
