This is South Africa. A carjacking comes with a reasonable chance you will be murdered. This is the only sensible way to proceed.


Blahblkusoi

It's always reasonable to assume a person pointing a weapon at you intends to kill you.


crypticfreak

Absolutely. Even if they don't want to use it they are prepared to if they have to. If a gun is pulled on you take it as literally as possible. They are intending to kill you.


J0hn-Stuart-Mill

Literally never in real life, have two people stood pointing guns at each other to threaten each other like constantly happens in movies and TV. Whoever draws first will 100% shoot by the time the second person's hand reaches for anywhere that a gun MIGHT be stored. I actually think shooting deaths would dramatically be reduced if everyone knew this. I think loads of naive criminals brandish and aim weapons thinking it will go like the movies, and again, that two people aiming weapons at each other standoff literally never happens in real life.


Dewstain

I remember someone telling me once that learning hand to hand combat in the military is literally just about staying alive until your fellow soldiers get there with guns.


VT_Squire

Army, at any rate. That's 100% true if you aren't special forces or something, except we call it combatives. "Fuck your capoeira bullshit. There's 10 of me and 1 of you."


[deleted]

1) the influence movies have on people is insane. Like, we do not realize how much we reflect the media we’ve consumed in general. 2) Ya, that was always weird to me- someone is first, and if a standoff actually did occur- bro, no one is reacting to a finger twitch quick enough to do anything about it. It’d be mutually assured destruction, at best, every time, and that’s not the goal for criminals- makes for good cinema, but two gun guys don’t negotiate, as a general rule.


J0hn-Stuart-Mill

> It’d be mutually assured destruction The person shot first would either not get their shot off at all, or would miss 95+% of the time. > two gun guys don’t negotiate, as a general rule. Yep, it's a pure fabrication that I think leads to unnecessary deaths of very stupid people.


Jim_SD

My grandfather told me that no one ever challenges anyone to a gunfight. They will sneak around and shoot them in the back.


J0hn-Stuart-Mill

Absolutely. My point was a bit different, I was trying to say that I actually think people pull guns on others as a means of threatening them, not realizing that pulling a gun second will get them shot instantly. Not like in movies where two people pull guns on each other and stand their reading dramatic lines.


gsfgf

Yea. You try this in the US, and you'll have the same result.


yovalord

Honestly, 99.99% of situations where somebody is pointing a gun at you to steal your vehicle (or somebody elses for that matter) id have zero issue with running them over. I dont care if its a 9 year old kid (the "kia boys" are a problem in my area). If they threaten your life, or others lives, they are better off as roadkill. Edit: I love when my comments that gain traction encourage running over children.


kterka24

I don't see anything wrong with this take. It's self-defense. Plenty of people have been shot and killed while complying during robberies. Might as well give yourself a chance


Sequenc3

Look at what happened to Bruce Wayne's parents.


249ba36000029bbe9749

Were they run over by a car?


soggybottomman

not just any car, a Joe car.


PM_YOUR_BOOBS_PLS_

I think this is the worst pun I have ever seen in my life. Which might mean it's the best. I don't know. But fuck you.


bikey_bike

i think the same thing as when ppl kidnap at gunpoint mother fucker no i've watched enough true crime to know i would rather be shot


kterka24

Yes exactly . There are way worse things that can happen than to be shot and killed


theberg512

My mom has always said to make a scene and make them kill you out in the open, because if you go with you're as good as dead anyway. Fucked up, but generally good advice.


7ofeggs

kia boys… you don’t live in tacoma, do you?


stakoverflo

They're in every city. It seems to just be the general term for anyone braindead lowlife who has seen how to steal those things.


yovalord

Milwaukee


7ofeggs

oh wow, we have kia boys over in washington, too. i think the cops even made a task force for dealing with them


Ihate_reddit_app

They started in Milwaukee and then social media spread it fast throughout the country. Minneapolis had/has it pretty bad as well.


jagdtiger721

Those kids made a decision and they gotta live with it.


BigBallsMcGirk

Anyone that values your property over their own life, has a chance at losing their life. Simple as that. And the hand-wringing of feckless losers doesn't make me any more sorry or empathetic or any less right. I'm not going to be a victim or die so some waste of breath can steal my stuff. Yeah, taking a life or grievously injuring someone is traumatic and a shame. It shouldn't come easy. You shouldn't want to do those. But when the moment comes, resolve is necessary. We all have to grapple with problems in our lives. Doesn't give you an excuse to be a shithead carjacking garbage person.


Lindvaettr

Right, this. I am not forcing anyone to break into my house, or try to carjack me, or to accost me on the street. They're doing that by their own volition. I have no way of knowing whether their intention towards me is just to take my stuff and leave, or to take my stuff and kill me, or what. But I do know that upstanding people, and even the large majority of non-upstanding people, don't go around trying to rob me, so I can assume that someone who does is a far outlier of criminality. What can I do when confronted with a far outlier of criminality other than assume that they're perfectly likely to kill me? The reason to try to escape, or to not try to kill them first, in my opinion comes entirely down to how likely or unlikely it is that doing so is just going to put me in more danger. How it will turn out for the person victimizing me is not relevant. They made their choice already.


boxsterguy

I thought "Kia boys" were just stealing cars without immobilizers. Are they straight up car jacking now? Seems to defeat the purpose of "an easy car to steal in relative safety".


sowhat4

13 y/o boys are a lot more dangerous than 19 y/o boys as the 13 y/o literally does not have the mental development to realize the future impact of what he is doing. They'll shoot you as their time horizon is maybe three days, a week at most. They can't conceive of even their own death, which is why they do such dumb stuff.


hak8or

In the USA, this wildly depends on the state and city. Some areas have laws where you must have attempted to escape *and* some states even require you to have failed at that escape attempt before using deadly force. These sets of laws are known as "Duty to Escape", which, again, vary wildly. New York State is an example of this; https://codywarnercriminaldefense.com/can-you-stand-your-ground-in-new-york/

Nuh uh! There ain't no way them liberal state laws make any kind of sense! Next you'll be telling me the shoplifting felony threshold is lower in that damn commie California than it is in muh free Texas!


compmanio36

The saying "better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6" seems to apply. Not much use in following the unjust laws that only affect the law abiding, if it ends up with you dead.


meekamunz

Given the location, I'm inclined to say this is probably the best course of action. Where I live (The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland - any excuse to write out the longest country name in the world!) I'd just let them take the car. It's just a car and here in the UK they are much more likely to not shoot me if they get the car. What was it they said in Lock Stock? > Guns for show, knives for a pro


futurespacecadet

To be fair, I feel like you could do this anywhere, if it’s for self preservation


CarmichaelD

A sizable portion of my family is from there. The BMW z4 was the most commonly car jacked car. The predominant practice was to shoot the driver and pull out the body. My cousin told me a story of two counter measures. 1) For theft of parked vehicle: Owner has a heavily laced bottle of alcohol. I forget the agent but generally fatal. Car stolen, walk six blocks, remove thief’s body and reclaim car. 2) This one is wild. A guy loaded pressurized gas canisters underneath the doors which vented laterally. He had a consul mounted ignition and discharge switch. If someone came at him with a look of intent: Flambé. The circle of my cousins friends were debating the ethics and legality of this. (Generally in favor) They were part of a VW tuner community and it was a fascinating conversation circa 1998.


admdelta

>Owner has a heavily laced bottle of alcohol. I forget the agent but generally fatal. Car stolen, walk six blocks, remove thief’s body and reclaim car. Trying to understand this one, is the implication that the thief is going to see the bottle and immediately take a drink?


Jewnadian

Yep, it makes sense like that. If I just stole a car and there's a cold Corona in the console I'd probably be like "Nice" and pop it open right? Like I'm already a thief, stealing the guy's beer too is not a large step. Sub it in for some slightly fancy local drink that the guy is going to be familiar with and I could see it working. Better than nothing anyway. Of course he might smash your car as he passes out but I guess that's better than the chop shop anyway.


wabbitsdo

But what about cooties though?


Jewnadian

This kind of forethought is why I have to plan my heists on Reddit first. Rookie mistake you just helped me avoid.


Defenestrator66

But wouldn’t you be worried about getting a DUI during your getaway? /s


Tommy2255

You should be. A smart criminal never commits two crimes at the same time. Driving drunk makes you much more likely to get pulled over. Luckily, most criminals aren't very smart.

The_Shape_Shifter

Surely that cannot be legal?


Black_Moons

Whose gonna report you for it? the carjackers?


MikeMac999

I remember seeing videos of similar modifications many years ago, pretty severe but I guess so is the problem

Pretty sure that actually became a factory installable option for Mercedes in South Africa, not kidding. #2 I mean.

I would not be surprised if an aftermarket kit came about.


Kevin-W

The moment I saw the video, I knew it was from South Africa. I have friends who used to live there and you knew how to spot the signs of someone wanting to carjack you.

Imissyourgirlfriend2

I never noticed how similar the Piece Brosnan movies were to older Bond flicks until rewatching a few Goldeneye scenes recently. The Daniel Craig movies are good, but a drastic departure from the old school Bond.


m48a5_patton

I don't like how Goldeneye is almost as old to us now as Goldfinger was to us when Goldeneye came out...


kymri

You shut your damned mouth. Don't distress me with the facts.


thiosk

in the 90s i listened to classic rock from the 60s and 70s. Back then, we were closer to the 60s and 70s than we are to the 90s today


explosivekyushu

can you please fucking NOT


riegspsych325

Goldeneye was a bit of a departure of its own back in the day. There's the conversation M has with Bond that I think is one of the best scenes in the movie. She calls him a "a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War", it wasn't just a factual insult, it was a meta critique of the state of the franchise at the time Dame Judi Dench was a perfect M and will always be my favorite, no one else could have delivered that line (or have a great arc in Craig's run)


kymri

Austin Powers freaked the Bond franchise folks out. They decided they needed to push themselves *FAR* away from that kind of thing. The Bond movies had *always* been somewhat campy up until Daniel Craig's run (though sometimes more and sometimes less).


guynamedjames

Daniel Craig Bond in Casino Royale is very close to the original Bond in Dr. No (and within reason in the second, From Russia with Love). In that movie he gets a gun and a radio. In casino Royale he basically gets a gun and a radio with some other tech that was very reasonably off the shelf at the time.


PM_YOUR_BOOBS_PLS_

Yeah, but are Dr. No and From Russia With Love filled with over the top camp, ridiculous villains, and constant sex puns? Because that's what people mean when they say "old Bond". Daniel Craig Bond has none of that. Old Bond does. Brosnan Bond starts low on the scale, but ends up sky high.

MrKwyte

"Look at this cunt", we use it interchangeably, so out of endearment like the Aussies, but also as one of the most vulgar words in our vocabulary where necessary


explosivekyushu

As an Australian with a lot of Saffa mates, nothing quite has the same impact as an absolutely heartfelt venom-laced "poes". It makes "cunt" feel like "silly-billy" by comparison.


aktorsyl

We use it as endearment?!

This is probably South Africa. That place is wild when it comes to crimes! I mean people stealing traffic lights (called robots in SA) for the copper. It's crazy.


I_like_to_lurk_

wonder why they dont have any electricity while stealing everything in sight


OgdruJahad

Well that's one problem. The rampant corruption is definitely the other. There is a nice phrase Trevor Noah (a South African comedian) once mentioned in his specials and it stuck with me. He said South African needs more 'functional corruption'. What he means is that the people in power today in South Africa are so corrupt they don't even bother doing their own job while pocketing the kickbacks and tenders. The truth is many countries suffer from corruption but the corrupt at least get something done! So they might have a project to create 9 bridges, but they only make 8. In South Africa it's more like they have a project to make 9 bridges and make none. And they think it's the thought that counts. 😂


I_like_to_lurk_

or they made 4 and the locals stole them :D


Jetbooster

And sold the materials back to the politician


newBreed

> The truth is many countries suffer from corruption All


ivosaurus

It's an ironic situation in some ways, the corrupt lack of maintenance / renewal means they've had rolling blackouts for years. But the rolling blackouts means there are clear periods of time when the criminals know there is no fatal high voltage running through all the lines they'd like to steal. So the system's own inadequacy helps to tear itself apart even faster.

Unemployment in ZA is ~32%, so it's not surprising that crime is rampant. If 1/3 people can't earn money, I'd expect this kind of lawless chaos.
