Father Deals with Carjacker with His Family Inside the Car

How would you respond to someone trying to steal your car, and kidnap your children in the backseat? From Fox News Dallas-Fort Worth: Texas father shoots carjacker attempting to steal car

A father in Garland shot and killed a carjacker who attempted to steal a vehicle while his family of eight was still inside.

There is cellphone video, and security camera video. I prefer The video below, because it contains commentary that makes sense, though there is a brief statement from the police, but nothing that you don't get from Colion Noir.

Colion Noir breaks down all the video, and analyzes what is going on. The video is 10 and a half minutes.

Good Guys 3, Bad Guys 0

Texans are still armed, and bad-guys are still getting shot. Witness shoots man attempting to steal luxury car at Dallas shopping center, affidavit says

In this case the bad guys were attempted to carjack someone in Dallas.

This incident happened way back in December, but the final arrest was only made on Friday, so the details of the investigation have been made public.

Dallas police say three people were leaving dinner at Odelay Tex-Mex when 21-year-old Lequezio Dade, 19-year-old Kylan Owens and 21-year-old Anthony Primers approached them.

According to an arrest affidavit, "Dade used a rifle held horizontally to violently shove one of the men backward while demanding the keys to his Maserati and his wallet."

One of the people with the driver of the Maserati was armed, and shot Lequezio Dade. He turned up at a local hospital with a story that cops, frankly, found stupidly unbelievable.

According to the affidavit, a geofence search warrant identified three cell phones present at both the shooting scene and hospital at times consistent with the investigation. Those phones belonged to Dade, Owens and Primers.

This attempted carjacking happened, as they say, “in an upscale area” on the north side of Dallas, which shows that there is no such thing as a “safe” neighborhood in 21st-century America. Who knows what might have happened had it not been for the fact that the Maserati owner’s friend was armed?

Or as I like to say, you are not protected by your Zip Code.

Good Guy with a Gun Stops Carjacking

A group of 3 miscreants thought it would be a good idea to try and commit a carjacking. In Texas, that turned out to be wrong. 2 suspects sought after 3rd suspect shot in attempted carjacking in Dallas.

Police told FOX 4 that an "uninvolved party shot one of the suspects while they attempted to carjack the victim. The victim was threatened and shot at with a short-barreled rifle."

Police said that suspect is at a hospital in stable condition. They are still searching for the other two suspects.

An "uninvolved party" is Leftist weasel-wording for a good-guy with a gun, who just happened to be there.

Colion Noir always has good things to say, but in this case he is crystal clear about why good guys need to be able to carry guns.

And They Wonder Why Crime Is Going Up

I could have hoped that Texas was immune to some of this insanity, but big cities are big cities everywhere. Study: 56 Percent of Violent Crime Suspects Released in Dallas - Texas Scorecard

And while the headline is bad enough, the subtitle tells even more:

“Bail reform” led to 34 percent of murder suspects arrested in 2021 being released on bail or their own recognizance.

These statistcs come from criminologist Michael Smith of the University of Texas at San Antonio. Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia is responsible for that study. The statistics published as a part of the study include "about 75 percent of offenders charged with weapons law violations, about two-thirds of those arrested for aggravated assault, and 34 percent of those arrested for murder."

Click thru for more, including info about the soft-on-crime DA, a court suit by the ACLU, and a statement by the Sheriff. Oh, and some backpedaling by the DA once a light was shined on what he was doing to destroy law and order.

This is all happening because the Left has decided (with help from Soros-funded non-prosecuting attorney's, and others) that keeping violent offenders in jail is unfair.

Six Year Anniversary of Dallas of Officers Being Assassinated

Nothing to see here. Has this even been mentioned in the US? Dallas shooting: Gunman 'wanted to kill whites' says police chief - BBC News

Five police officers were killed and seven wounded during a march against the shooting of black men by police.

But he had a progressive Idea.

"The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."

Mr Brown added that the man had said he was not affiliated with any groups and he had acted alone.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
