Except they fought back. We can argue their actions and methods all day long, and with good reason. But, in spite of this, they are not victims. My hope is that such people take the "free chance" and learn all they can to not find themselves in such disadvantage or put themselves in a bad spot on purpose. I will celebrate and support anyone who pushes back. It's the scum that dirties the water. That is who I have issue with, and whom I will direct my dissatisfaction. The only perfect way of dealing in such situation is to be the last man standing. Everything else is debatable.

| Thank you Very little  |
Fighting back is good and it's commendable, and of course not offering any excuses for bad behavior on the crooks behalf, however if the gentleman had simply taken his son in with him, and/or locked the doors none of this happens. Both cars were left unattended with engines running and unlocked making them the vehicles a thief going to target. | |||

| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
High speed car chases are not a good idea, even when necessary, even when highly trained. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

The owner of the stolen car was there presumably, description, license plates, witnesses, etc. Why not let the cops chase the perp down? They have radios, real guns, kings X to speed, etc. That way, if chance sends a car across an intersection and someone is killed, it won’t be your kid and you won’t be charged with vehicular manslaughter or worse.

Some years back an off-duty Chicago Cop was driving with his young daughter, and when accosted by armed miscreants (a Jeff Cooper term) at a stop light, shot and killed them. He and his daughter were uninjured, of course. Local media blasted the cop for killing the BG's in his daughter's presence. One local radio show, two liberal white women, got pretty intense about it, saying the cop had scarred his daughter badly. A caller asked how the daughter would feel if she had watched her father get murdered, they hung up on him, it went downhill from there. The point is, they all fought back -- the kid, the father, the other guy. None of them stood by and claimed victimhood. As it should be. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

The only one that acted responsibly in the whole story is the nine year old. The two "adults" left their vehicles running, unlocked, then took it upon themselves to engage in a high-speed chase--with the nine year old boy aboard. Those "men" are idiots.

Anybody familiar with Kokomo? I left my car running twice in the last hour: once at the Post Office, next at the Mobil station where I picked up a local paper. The air temperature is about 4 above zero, most likely near what it was in Kokomo when this incident happened. Around here, it's common practice. I suppose my car could have been stolen, but according to the local cops that has never happened in this town. That's why I'm asking about Kokomo. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Assuming the engine is already warmed up and operating normally, letting the engine idle for a few minutes vs. turning it off/on would produce negligible benefits. Turn off the engine, lock the vehicle, go in and shop and then reverse the process. The adults failed in this scenario. Had they caused a serious accident or death, many here would be calling them stupid and blaming them. I'm not one to be a victim, but I try my best to putting myself in a situation where I'm almost guaranteed to become a victim. P229 | |||

I'm not trying to be a tool, so please accept this in the joshing sense that I offer it, but there is a certain humor in a guy from Sacramento advising a guy living on an iceberg on how to handle the cold.  _______________________ | |||

Hah! I didn't notice that! My car never reached normal operating temperature today, even running over 20 minutes, and with the heater off. And no-matter what mistakes they made, not being tactical and all, THEY FOUGHT BACK!!! -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

I don't understand anybody leaving their car unlocked with the engine running. Perhaps it's just me, but I almost always lock up everything. It may be a trained fear, the fear that the Drill Sergeant would find my locker unsecured, that has led me to always locking everything. The only time I occasionally leave my vehicle unlocked is when the dogs are inside. Those bitches get really pissed when someone besides me gets in the truck. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

I'm a cold weather expert! It was 35F here in the Sacto area this morning and I ran in shorts and long sleeve! It's one of the reason why I put of with the whacky liberals in CA. My point was turning the engine off/on wouldn't have had much impact on keeping his inside of his vehicle warm. Aaaannnnnnyyyyyyyywaaaaaaaayyyy. P229 | |||

I have an extra key hanging in the plow rig. If I am running into a store quickly I leave it running but lock it up. Best of both worlds. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||
