....i’ve noticed that usually when crimes like this occur in the city, the people that usually post just BLAST the city and the citizens,but even though it occurs, with the recession(yes it is still going on)a lot of people are out of work…and while the common thugs are going to rob people, there are a lot of people that wouldnt normally commit crimes that are now committing them just to pay the rent and put food in their childrens stomachs…i am in NO WAY advocating robbing someone,especially me because there will probably be a funeral afterward, but people need to be cognizant of the current conditions of our economy and how it is affecting everyone….check out the sale ad for dick’s sporting goods this sunday, .40 S&W pistols for sale and shotguns for home defense….the Taurus JUDGE is probably the best pistol for those carjackers too…just gotta shoot in the general vicinity
Sick!!!!! I hope they catch them very soon. People work too hard to get what they have; I know I do.
Please vcu police and city of richmond police , find these hoods before there is a robbery with fatal results. Whatever it takes do it.
