Teen’s Carjacking Attempt Teaches Suspect A Hard Lesson
In a startling turn of events in Raleigh, North Carolina, a 17-year-old’s attempt at carjacking quickly unraveled, demonstrating the risks involved when targeting armed citizens. The incident unfolded on a Sunday night, with the young suspect’s plans going awry almost immediately.
The teenager, armed and dangerous, initiated the carjacking in the Red Roof Inn parking lot along Arrow Road. Despite his aggressive approach, the suspect’s aim left much to be desired. “Well, would y’all look at it — a free notice to all wannabe carjackers!” a commenter remarked on social media. The intended victim, a man, emerged unscathed, largely due to the suspect’s poor marksmanship.
Crucially, the victim was not defenseless. He had his own firearm and was prepared to use it. According to police reports, the man returned fire, successfully wounding the teen. The suspect was subsequently transported to a hospital, where he was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
The community’s response to the incident has been supportive of the victim’s actions. “Glad [the] victim was able to defend himself,” one commenter noted, reflecting a broader sentiment of approval for self-defense in such dangerous situations. Another individual expressed satisfaction that the victim fought back, stating, “Glad to see someone fighting back with these punk[s].”
As the investigation continues, charges are pending against the young suspect. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences for those who engage in criminal activities, especially in areas where citizens are armed and ready to protect themselves.

If you don’t hang this punk out to dry, it’s a waste of time to arrest him. Victim should have killed him.

Being armed may not deter crime but it damn well stops it in it’s tracks.

Legal measures and law enforcement, a term foreign to liberals it seems sounds good but realistic? Every American law abiding citizen must have the right to defend themselves from ever increasing and embolden criminals being encouraged by liberal judges and law enforcement persons.

Two questions, do these car jackers have their firearms registered or do they have concealed carry permits? Probably a no brained but media fails to mention this. What percent is the nationality of these teens that do this?

Any area, town, city, or state that punishes the victim rather than the perpetrator needs justice placed upon them and harshly.
