why the right to carry makes sense to me more than ever

[digitaldiscipline]

tonight's original scheduled programming of me bitching and whining has been suspended.

K was carjacked tonight on her way home from work - some crackhead motherfucker [and, yes, i think i'm justified when i call this particular black person the n-word in every malicious sense] punched in her passenger window and grabbed her purse and totebag - made off with her license, credit cards, checkbook, palm pilot, some other stuff.

we have just spent the last three hours in a parking lot, talking to police, etc. they were not able to apprehend the shitfucker, but k was able to make an ID from a police lineup book.

the important thing is that K is unharmed, just pissed off and jumpy. i've taken care of the window with duct tape and plastic, and she's on the phone as we speak cancelling credit cards, getting the car insurance company involved to fix the window.

I know you're out there, you fucking scumbag. And I =will= kill you.

Oh my gawd... I'm SO sorry... give K a super-big hug on my behalf. I'm so glad she wasn't hurt...

Well, I doubt a gun would have helped her out at the time, especially if it'd been in her purse, but....

That SUCKS! I'm so sorry! I read that headline in MSN today and thought, "shit! I have so many friends and family down there!" Do they think it's the same guy?

Good luck to both of you, and try not to kill anyone just yet. I think just chopping off an arm should be enough. ;)

what headline on msn?

according to the detective and the cops, there has been a spate of these over the last couple of days; same MO, etc. apparently, it also happened last year.

seems some crackhead motherfucker thinks this qualifies as holiday spirit.

holy fuck, madelyn, that is =exactly= where k got hit - airline @ carrollton. and that article's timestamp is literally at the same time it was happening.

that's fucked up.

i want to kill him.

[marchenland.livejournal.com]

No fucking way... crazy! Is it the same guy?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

according to K:

"that's the picture I initialed when the detective showed it to me. that's him."

[marchenland.livejournal.com]

Damn! I wish I'd sent you that article when I saw it -- it was online before the time-stamp, actually, or they updated the time-stamp, b/c I saw it like a day before. Not that I'd normally send you articles like that, but you know... shit!

OMG! :( :( :(

[hellsop.livejournal.com]

ID'd, but no apprehension... How long before we can declare the police incompetants?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

they've issued a warrant. beyond that, i don't know.

[netgoth.livejournal.com]

OMG! I'm glad to hear she's okay. Many hugs and much bad-guy-catching mojo to all involved in the hunt.

[critus.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else I just wanna say I'm really glad K is ok.

Wow. That sucks.

dammit!

[bitogoth.livejournal.com]

this shit pisses me the hell off. many hugs to kim- thank goodness she's safe. i never saw the guy who broke into my apartment but i had definite plans for his organs connecting with my favourite kitchen-knife.

[demented-angel.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry that this happened Rafe, I am very glad K is okay! *hugs* I hope you guys find out who did it! Very sorry!

[elixxir.livejournal.com]

Holy shit!! That's beyond just terrible babe...I'm so sorry she had this happen. I hope they catch the fucker so you can exact a slow, drawn out, supremely painful vengeance...

[depotmode.livejournal.com]

Glad no one was hurt, and hope they catch the asshole who did that to K soon!

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

this scared the pee out of me when you got the call last night while on YM. i'm SO GLAD that k is okay. what an awful experience.

*hugs* to her and best of luck with getting it taken care of and the guy caught to both of you.

[axissilverhand.livejournal.com]

Concealed carry permit, and since you have an ID you have a name. Now to find the guy.

::Hugs Kim and You::

We have no idea how he got into the compound, but the lions didn't leave much to ask, Officer. I think there's enough blood for a DNA match...

[milktongue.livejournal.com]

That is terrifying. I'm glad she's mostly ok. I hope they catch the fucker! When my purse was stolen 2 years ago, I got a call from Detroit cops the next day, they found the guy and my purse mostly intact, I hope it goes as well for you two.

Glad she's all right, and best of luck dealing with all the aftermath.

I've had two attempted carjackings -- having lived in the worst neighborhoods of DC and Baltimore, #2 and #3 in the nation for crime rate, it's not that surprising. The first time I almost ran the guy over, the second time I slammed his head in my car door. But given the scenario you just described, I don't think there was anything she could have done.

I hope they get the bastard.

[angel-renewed.livejournal.com]

F*ckin' Hell. That's total shite. I'm not sure a gun would have been useful unless she could draw it really fast, but I know my favorite car mod would have worked: Car Mounted Flamethrowers (http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/africa/9812/11/flame.thrower.car/).

He might have gotten the bag, but he'd have been crispy-fried thereafter.

Hug K for me.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

omg. I am so sorry, and so glad that K is okay, although I imagine she is unbelievably pissed off right now.

Sorry...

[jmoriarty.livejournal.com]

to hear about that. :( Damn. My best to you and K.

[paisli.livejournal.com]

ugh.. that's terrifying.. I hope she is ok.. that's just horrible :(

[katyakoshka.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Hope you both got some sleep last night, and that you're both doing okay today. Ghaa.

Best wishes on everything. :/

[thefeline.livejournal.com]

HOLY SHIT!!!! I had no idea!!!! I am GLAD that K is okay (albeit shook up and pissed off) and I hope they catch the bastard!

Let me know if there is anything that I can do, okay? You've got my number, Yahoo IM and email.

Jaysus!

[sukipot.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad she wasn't hurt.

And I hear you about the right to carry.

Hugs and good wishes for you both.

[poisongirl.livejournal.com]

Holy fucking hell Batman!
So glad K is alright. Hug each other for me.
Sheebus.
I agree with Angelsil's fave car mod though. Crispy carjackers are a lot of fun.
Love you.

[victorine.livejournal.com]

Glad that K is unharmed! As the victim of a purse snatching and another attempted bamboozle, I sympathize greatly with what she must be feeling right now. And yes, the car mounted flame thrower, let's move to get that legalized immediately!!!! (or the car mounted rocket launcher, which is my personal preference!) Hugs.

*fark*

I'm glad she is ok.

I see an investment in vinegar and razor blades coming up...

Dear GOD! She needs an armoured car with a very big, very mean dog in the back.

I used to talk about how I'd have 6 dobermans that I'd drive around with me everywhere, all named Fluffy. They'd all be snoozing on the seats and floor until someone did something I didn't like and I'd call out "Fluffy!" and all 6 heads would pop up, snarling.

We all have dreams.

Mine are usually about some sort of vigilante action.
