This is one of the reasons I immediately lock my doors on my vehicle. I hit the lock button as I'm closing the door. Also, an expert on serial killers and murderers said to never let someone take you away in a vehicle (theirs or your own) because they were most likely going to kill you.

Glad the woman escaped. Just goes to show that a criminal doesn't need a gun to intimidate/injure/kill a person and that having a gun can save a person's life.

That's good zannej. Ya have to admit she had her smarts working the entire time............. you know during that drive, she was planning on the right moment to take control............ and she did it perfectly.
Maybe cars ought have a panic button for occasions like that. Slap the panic button and the passenger side air bag inflates. BAM! :D

When I think Assault Truck, I think armored vehicle with weapons. LOL. But really, guns don't kill people (unless they are used to bludgeon them), bullets kill people!

So, what do you guys think about the mess in the Middle East right now? Just heard that Saudi Arabia arrested 11 princes and over 30 high officials. And someone launched a missile at the airport (but it was intercepted). Not sure, but I've heard the people arrested were friendly with the US and the current leader is not.

News to me......... so I'm gonna go look at the news.
 
Over 300 million people in the US and over 300 million firearms in the US. Gun homicides are actually quite low and when you take into account that the majority of gun homicides are gang/drug related, it really is minute.

Even according to the anti-gun, Clinton Justice Department, there were as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense every year; majority without even firing a single shot.

Democrat controlled and gun restricted, Chicago in 2016 had over 4300 shot. 78% black 5% white/other. 2010 census has Chicago at 32% black and 31% white (non-hispanic).
 
Premeditated mass shootings in public places are happening more often, some researchers say, plunging towns and cities into grief and riveting the attention of a horrified nation. In general, though, fewer Americans are dying as a result of gun violence — a shift that began about two decades ago.


In 1993, there were seven homicides by firearm for every 100,000 Americans, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By 2013, that figure had fallen by nearly half, to 3.6 — a total of 11,208 firearm homicides. The number of victims of crimes involving guns that did not result in death (such as robberies) declined even more precipitously, from 725 per 100,000 people in 1993 to 175 in 2013.

Older data suggests that gun violence might have been even more widespread previously. The rate of murder and manslaughter excluding negligence reached an apex in 1980, according to the FBI. That year, there were 10.8 willful killings per 100,000 people.
 
The difference is, with social media, internet, and faster international/national news reporting, we are hearing about more of them than we did in the past. So it sounds like crime is going up.

Another problem is, there is so much sensationalism and hullaballoo created that it gives attention to the killers. And some of them just want attention regardless of whether it is positive or negative. They want to be remembered and make a dent on history. So, they do something nutso like this to try to get their names in the history books.
