Directionless Youth

What have things come to when a carjacker can't even ask directions from a news crew on his way to rob a bank? I thought people in this country cared. Everyone's entitled to make a living. I'll bet the carjack victim had 3 or 4 other cars anyway,so what difference would one less make? The 19 year old wannabe robber was just trying to carve out a piece of the American dream for himself. Isn't that what we all want?

Trouble is, these guys don't ask politely. It never works to just demand something at gunpoint unless you're an elected official. Maybe the driver was willing to share. If so, too bad. That politically correct news crew had to go and ruin the whole thing.

The kid probably just needed money to pay for college tuition and textbooks, or maybe a down payment on his first house. But no,they had to stomp on his dream. Why haven't we heard from the ACLU on this? Surely the guy's right to have whatever he feels deprived of was violated. There should be laws against this sort of thing.
What can we expect these poor guys to do? Work for the things they want? Get serious. It's highly unlikely your average thug has any marketable skills, so at best we're talking minimum wage. Imagine how long it would take to earn enough for a Rolls, or college for that matter. Affording a house is easier; just find a disreputable lender, of which there are many, and you're good to go.

On second thought, autojack old buddy, steal enough to go to college and become a lender yourself; you're already disreputable. I guarantee you'll get a much lighter jail sentence than you would for robbing a bank.
