Damn right. This is why more people need to get their Concealed Carry Permit and carry. When more citizens do this, there will be far less crime. Anyone who doubts this can look at Kennisaw, GA and what they did in the late 70's, early 80's mandating every citizen have at least one firearm (and ammo) in their home at all times. Crime dropped like a rock.

If more and more victims retaliate this will give the carjackers two options: Stop carjacking. Shoot their vctim on the spot to make sure they can't retaliate. You can be sure that not 100% of offenders will chose the first option. So your "hero" does lead to less crime, but the remaining crime will be more severe.
"defending yourself." How convenient for you to be in a position to claim that his life was actually in danger during the decision to fire. He literally shot them as they were driving off. The time to claim self defense would've been to shoot them when he was actually being held at gunpoint. the carjackers were bluffing with the assault rifle. nobody interested in stealing someone's car is going to insist on killing the driver just to add to the frustration of trying to fence the stolen car. and then add to that that the car itself is completely worthless if it has the driver's dead guts strewn all over it. look, i'm sorry that it's conceivable for bad things to happen to good people, but a fucking car isn't worth a person's life. we have laws about murder to keep people from trying to solve all their problems with violence. your fucking insurance should cover you in case of theft. just let the piece of shit survive ffs.

Do you see what happens in states like FL and WI where is easy to get a firearm? There are shootouts like nothing. People like George Zimmerman can get away with murder. Rittenhouse can go in the middle of the night and have his rifle in plain view. I would not like to live in a place where all law abiding citizens can get firearms and have them at all times.

The sad part is that it is even a requirement to have a permit to carry a gun. It is a right, after all, so the only requirement should be that someone decides it is prudent to carry a gun. I live in a may issue state and they deny people who have no criminal records from having a carry permit all the time. They do so in every case in some counties in my state.

@@tridoc99 you commented on why more drivers don't carry......i was literally just answering your question pal lol. I once carried when i wasn't supposed to, so i can understand why people do it. when i worked at a gas station, some 300 pound guy came in frying on acid at 3 a.m. lol. It took the cops 2 hours to respond! Apparently it was because i was out of the city limits, so i had to wait for a state trooper. This guy would have crushed my ass without a doubt and he was having a bad trip. I only called the cops because he wouldn't leave, he just kept saying we're at war and would stare out the window.

@@cg4224 Misunderstanding my friend. I wasn’t attacking your statement. Just saying why the company policy is basically unenforceable, because a lot of people comment on similar stories that it is against Uber and Lyft policies to carry, but wouldn’t stop me from carrying if I were in their shoes. Also I wasn’t wondering why more of them don’t carry. I was impressed by the reporters basically rhetorical question when it was he who wondered why more don’t carry. I thought it was cool the way he framed the story considering a lot of the MSM is anti-gun
Unfortunately, the minds of most of these people, will never learn any lessons lol They'll be released again, one day, and do the exact same thing, but probably be more cautious and violent.
This reporter is hilarious. He's like your crazy uncle at dinner telling you some ridiculous stories about car-jackings and rifles and tanks. Love it!😂
It's important to note that the Lyft driver kept a cool head and waited for the best opportunity to use his weapon. An untrained, nervous, inexperienced, frightened person might have started fumbling for their gun as soon as they saw the car jacker's gun which might have ended badly for the victim.
I love this reporter. He looks like he's on the edge of insanity, but I've seen him on other videos and he tells it like it is. Not sure what the law is in Pennsylvania but in many places in Maryland that Lyft driver would probably be in trouble since he shot but his life was not in danger. Sadly, these would be carjackers will probably get ankle monitors and a court date in 2023.
The law is what was on my mind as well. Seems like in a lot of cases once they take your stuff and turn away you can't shoot (not that I agree) but it's interesting
@@limyfoot Openly carrying a firearm is perfectly legal in Pennsylvania as long as the person is a law-abiding citizen and is allowed to own a gun. Except here in Philadelphia. In Philly, you must have a concealed carry license in order to have a gun on you outside your home. If you do not have a license, and even though you were to defend your life outside your home, you can be arrested by Philly PD
That LYFT driver is f*cked. Unless there are witnesses that say that at the time the LYFT driver pulled the trigger, THERE WERE GUNS POINTED AT HIM, he will be charged with attempted murder, illegal discharge....the whole book. I hope this isn't the case, but I'm afraid its OBVIOUS. This is a liberal city run by Democrats....so don't expect the good guy to win.
At 2:06, exactly! "And they realize these two guys that they rushed to the hospital are now not victims, but prisoners. Glad to hear this reporter get it right. Every time a self defense shooting occurs and I hear the criminal or criminals being referred to as "victims", it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
I get your point, but you are still the victim of a shooting even if its your fault. The term victim has more than one usage. Its more about your perception of the term victim than its actual usage.
I appreciate your reply. But according to the standard definition of a victim, a criminal who’s been shot as the result of perpetrating a crime is not a victim. From Merriam-Webster: Definition of victim 1 : one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent the schools are victims of the social system : such as a(1) : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions a victim of cancer a victim of the auto crash a murder victim (2) : one that is subjected to oppression, hardship, or mistreatment a frequent victim of political attacks b : one that is tricked or duped a con man's victim 2 : a living being sacrificed to a deity or in the performance of a religious rite
@@johnmohanmusic Victim definition from Oxford: "a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action." No where does it say you cant be a perpetrator of the crime and be a victim of a wound. Again; YOUR PERSONAL association of the word's meaning doesnt dictate the *actual* meaning of a word.
@@johnmohanmusic Both these entries from your own post fit the definition I previously presented to you: "1 : one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent" or "a(1) : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions a victim of cancer a victim of the auto crash a murder victim"
Darn it! I attempted to correct grammatical error in my previous reply to you and accidentally deleted it. Clumsy thumbs. What I had written were words to the effect of: I think the vast majority of reasonable people would agree that the term victim implies somebody who is not attempting to harm somebody else but rather somebody who was, the well how shall I say it, victim of somebody who was meaning them harm. If you really believe what you claim to believe, then you must think Charles Manson was a victim. And Jeffrey Dahmer. And Wayne Gacy. After all, they all suffered harm or came to unpleasant circumstances as a result of the actions of others…
Glad the driver and passenger are OK. STOP attempting to take stuff that doesn’t belong to you! Happy he was able to ‘turn the tables’ on the thieves/carjackers. 🙏🏽
@@phxees if you go around pointing your gun at people, man still has a right to defend his property by force. Only safe crime is no crime, self defense applies after clear and present threat is established, doesn't say you can't shoot them after they stop pointing a gun. plus if you have witnesses all the better.
@@aylam9667 the problem that I have with this is he shot at them seemingly after the threat on his and his passenger’s life was over. It seemed like he didn’t start shooting until they started to drive away. Also it’s unclear if the guy in the second car was even armed. My issue was this guy was shooting in a crowded area. If he was worried about his car he probably wouldn’t have put bullet holes and blood in it.
@@DawidKellerman I think he means when seconds count a cop is minutes away so you need to be able to defend yourself and not expect someone else to do it for you.
Beautiful. Public defending themselves is a sure way to send a message. You get rear ended and the guy doesn't flee that scene knowing he just hit another car, you call the police right away. The quicker you notify police (which you have to do anyways during an accident) the quicker they can get to the scene and by the time the perps are at your window, it may be to late to place a call.

I HIGHLY APPROVE of the Lyft driver's action. The Only way to stop criminals is to PUNISH them to whatever point is necessary for them to STOP their criminal activities. YES, punishment does deter most criminals.
I would not call it punishment because the moment you hit someone by car intentionally and hijack on gun point thats the proper cause for self defense.
Well to be fair he did shoot his own car. Hopefully his insurance pays for it. As far as the accident thing, Philadelphia police wont even respond to a car accident unless there is severe injury or death (they are undermanned). You would prudent to at least drive to a public safe place, try to flag down a cop if you see one.
i agree, i was kind of expecting the news to say something like "lyft driver has been arrested because he didnt have to shoot them, he could have just let them go and report his car stolen" i think if more people were licensed to carry guns then these car jackers would maybe think twice
@@Arcella1987 why license anyone? multiple states allow people to conceal carry freely, in Tennessee it's working out fine. People don't tend to start anything if they know there's a coin-flip's chance that the other person is carrying.
For the security of a free state... CCW licenses are issued by the sheriff's (at least in my state). I often wish it was more secure what with the excessive amount of lawlessness activity happening.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled twice that law enforcement officers are only there to protect the public and not the individual person from harm, so you are alone in an emergency situation and your personal safety is your responsibility.
Depending on the government to save us is nothing but a victim mentality. Their job is to protect us but we as citizens cant use the police as our only form of defense.Police are for reactive citizens but the proactive people need to be more like this Lyft guy.
This is where it's important for the law to justify shooting to stop the escape of a still-dangerous fleeing felon, even if the threat to your life has just passed. I wouldn't do it, because I don't trust the law, but I support this Lyft driver.
That's right, because liberal logic says you can't shoot someone for property theft. I know a gun was pointed at him but he probably wasn't having the gun pointed at him as they were driving his car away. And the guy in the other car wasn't probably pointing a gun at him either. I'm sure they were using proper driving etiquette, hands at 10:00 and 2:00. C'mon lefties . . .let's go after this guy and turn the car jackers into heroes.
@@rrnabors1 I am now a 'liberal' even though I wasn't when I joined and served in the military and for a few years after, thankfully I recovered from the 'conservative' narrow thinking disease. As you say, 'liberal logic says that you can't shoot someone for property theft' is generally correct. Shooting someone for stealing candy, a pumpkin or a horse (okay, that's worth a shooting), but this was sort of a revenge shooting, his life (or his passenger's, dude was definitely a hero that way) was no longer at risk. A very successful revenge shooting. It could go down badly in court because of that, but I don't think it will. This guy though was definitely a hero, and the two stupid young kids deserved to die, which is a hard thing to say since young people often do stupid things.
Yea they let him go safely you can shoot at 1 car let alone two cars now you have no car no job and a court case. Don’t shoot if they already left with their back turned
One of the lessons here is that instead of pulling his weapon when they had the drop on him, he waited his turn and got the passenger to safety and fired when they were in a seated position and vulnerable.
and in the inner cities of America, you don't know if the carjackers just want your car or if they're high as a kite and wanna have some fun cracking your skull open first. Outside of the inner cities, where guns are mostly legal everywhere, you don't have high crime. Everyone is fairly polite. In the inner cities though, guns aren't easily accessible for law-abiding citizens, only criminals.
When the cops hands are tied it’s up to everyday citizens to protect theirselves. Props to this guy for taking out both guys. Also, that reporters hair piece is a crime against humanity
100% agree with the actions that Lyft driver took to protect his property. You should absolutely be able to defend yourself AND theft of your property. But watch him be the one who gets prosecuted for shooting the car jacker because in the these DA’s eyes once they had gotten into & taken the car the threat was technically over. Again I agree with the Lyft driver but this is how backwards our criminal justice system is. This is why as an overnight commercial garbage truck driver in downtown Boston, I carry.
You are right and I agree but as you said, the justice system will deem unnecessary to shoot fleeing suspects, even if they are felons, carjackers, etc. The driver will need a very good lawyer and if I was in his shoes I would not give any information without a counsel present.
@@setidepp4853 I don't know. Based on events from last year, they may give this man a key to the city. Carjackers will think three times before trying to steal a car.
@@promise72 well, the criminals obviously didn't search the driver for a weapon while they had the advantage. Now they might as well. The scenario can constantly evolve.
@@setidepp4853 Idk because fleeing with your property is different from fleeing. I believe you are protected by the constitution to protect your property, if I'm not mistaken. It's the fact that the person was in his property and that's like someone running in your home and running away with your home. If you can catch them and run back in your home you can shot them, you're fine legally. A car is known as "Personal Property". Look up "Real Property vs Personal property". He should be fine. Also the Honda guy was accessory to theft of property so he should have been acting within his rights.
This Lyft driver was bad azzery. Kudos to him and he saved his passenger. We need more like him on the streets. I love this story and the moral I got was...Insurance up. Insurance on the car and insurance on your piece. Good job my guy.
@@smack9x I don't know. Depends on the demographics but money is money and for anyone who has those items a car and a piece better be insurance up. Money rules. But no one is talking about him saving that passenger. The dude is awesome.
Lyft's policy is that you can not drive for them while armed. I drove for them for close to two years. There would be times I had to take law enforcement home after they had a night on the town. Without exception; every officer advised me to get a firearm for when I drove. I took that advice.
Fuck Lyft. If you conceal it properly, with the exception of a traffic stop the only time Lyft will know about it is when it saved your life. I'd say that's worthwhile. The policy is clearly made to appease liberal Lyft riders who are afraid of guns, the same that would cry and wimper in fear in a situation like this and beg for a driver like this one.
@Trucker Chase I envy you, I'm Canadian and can have a gun in my truck if I travel within Canada (I have my PAL - a weekend course you have to take to get your gun license in Canada). But I am not allowed to bring my gun into the U.S where let's get real, I probably would need it the most haha. I've been avoiding driving in the U.S my entire career as a result of this rule. You as a US citizen would not be allowed to bring your gun to Canada but would be probably 10x less at risk of a shooting/robbery while you're up here, where as I face the opposite issue when I'm down there.

The sad part is that it is even a requirement to have a permit to carry a gun. It is a right, after all, so the only requirement should be that someone decides it is prudent to carry a gun.

As someone familiar with Lyft. It’s highly against their policy to carry firearms. However, they sometimes give you a freebie.

Also I wasn’t wondering why more of them don’t carry. I was impressed by the reporters basically rhetorical question when it was he who wondered why more don’t carry.

It's important to note that the Lyft driver kept a cool head and waited for the best opportunity to use his weapon. An untrained, nervous, inexperienced, frightened person might have started fumbling for their gun as soon as they saw the car jacker's gun which might have ended badly for the victim.

@@limyfoot Openly carrying a firearm is perfectly legal in Pennsylvania as long as the person is a law-abiding citizen and is allowed to own a gun. Except here in Philadelphia.

At 2:06, exactly! "And they realize these two guys that they rushed to the hospital are now not victims, but prisoners. Glad to hear this reporter get it right. Every time a self defense shooting occurs and I hear the criminal or criminals being referred to as "victims", it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
I get your point, but you are still the victim of a shooting even if its your fault. The term victim has more than one usage. Its more about your perception of the term victim than its actual usage.
I appreciate your reply. But according to the standard definition of a victim, a criminal who’s been shot as the result of perpetrating a crime is not a victim.
From Merriam-Webster:
Definition of victim
1 : one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent
the schools are victims of the social system
: such as
a(1) : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions
a victim of cancer
a victim of the auto crash
a murder victim
(2) : one that is subjected to oppression, hardship, or mistreatment
a frequent victim of political attacks
b : one that is tricked or duped
a con man's victim
2 : a living being sacrificed to a deity or in the performance of a religious rite
@@johnmohanmusic Victim definition from Oxford:
"a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action."
No where does it say you cant be a perpetrator of the crime and be a victim of a wound. Again; YOUR PERSONAL association of the word's meaning doesnt dictate the *actual* meaning of a word.
@@johnmohanmusic Both these entries from your own post fit the definition I previously presented to you:
"1 : one that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent"
or
"a(1) : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions
a victim of cancer
a victim of the auto crash
a murder victim"
Darn it! I attempted to correct grammatical error in my previous reply to you and accidentally deleted it. Clumsy thumbs.
What I had written were words to the effect of:
I think the vast majority of reasonable people would agree that the term victim implies somebody who is not attempting to harm somebody else but rather somebody who was, the well how shall I say it, victim of somebody who was meaning them harm.
If you really believe what you claim to believe, then you must think Charles Manson was a victim. And Jeffrey Dahmer. And Wayne Gacy. After all, they all suffered harm or came to unpleasant circumstances as a result of the actions of others…

That's right, because liberal logic says you can't shoot someone for property theft.

As you say, 'liberal logic says that you can't shoot someone for property theft' is generally correct. Shooting someone for stealing candy, a pumpkin or a horse (okay, that's worth a shooting), but this was sort of a revenge shooting, his life (or his passenger's, dude was definitely a hero that way) was no longer at risk. A very successful revenge shooting. It could go down badly in court because of that, but I don't think it will. This guy though was definitely a hero, and the two stupid young kids deserved to die, which is a hard thing to say since young people often do stupid things.
@@rrnabors1 You know the victim will get sued by the 2 criminals and they will win. That is how our system is set up.
Yea they let him go safely you can shoot at 1 car let alone two cars now you have no car no job and a court case. Don’t shoot if they already left with their back turned
@@manuelvazquez8758 No it is not, if you choose to think that way, that is how they win. That is how our system is set up.
One of the lessons here is that instead of pulling his weapon when they had the drop on him, he waited his turn and got the passenger to safety and fired when they were in a seated position and vulnerable.
It's called intelligence
If you defended yourself in Australia like that you would be put in prison for 20 years. Literally.
and in the inner cities of America, you don't know if the carjackers just want your car or if they're high as a kite and wanna have some fun cracking your skull open first. Outside of the inner cities, where guns are mostly legal everywhere, you don't have high crime. Everyone is fairly polite. In the inner cities though, guns aren't easily accessible for law-abiding citizens, only criminals.
This isnt down under so who cares america buddy
When the cops hands are tied it’s up to everyday citizens to protect theirselves. Props to this guy for taking out both guys. Also, that reporters hair piece is a crime against humanity
😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
100% agree with the actions that Lyft driver took to protect his property. You should absolutely be able to defend yourself AND theft of your property. But watch him be the one who gets prosecuted for shooting the car jacker because in the these DA’s eyes once they had gotten into & taken the car the threat was technically over. Again I agree with the Lyft driver but this is how backwards our criminal justice system is.
This is why as an overnight commercial garbage truck driver in downtown Boston, I carry.
You are right and I agree but as you said, the justice system will deem unnecessary to shoot fleeing suspects, even if they are felons, carjackers, etc. The driver will need a very good lawyer and if I was in his shoes I would not give any information without a counsel present.
@@setidepp4853 I don't know. Based on events from last year, they may give this man a key to the city. Carjackers will think three times before trying to steal a car.
And who's to say they cannot turn around and come to kill the Lyft driver?
Compliance is not a guarantee that you won't be killed
@@promise72 well, the criminals obviously didn't search the driver for a weapon while they had the advantage. Now they might as well.
The scenario can constantly evolve.
@@setidepp4853 Idk because fleeing with your property is different from fleeing. I believe you are protected by the constitution to protect your property, if I'm not mistaken. It's the fact that the person was in his property and that's like someone running in your home and running away with your home. If you can catch them and run back in your home you can shot them, you're fine legally. A car is known as "Personal Property". Look up "Real Property vs Personal property". He should be fine. Also the Honda guy was accessory to theft of property so he should have been acting within his rights.
This Lyft driver was bad azzery. Kudos to him and he saved his passenger. We need more like him on the streets. I love this story and the moral I got was...Insurance up. Insurance on the car and insurance on your piece. Good job my guy.
He will be dependent on lyft insurance since he had a passenger. I doubt they fix the bullet holes he made in his own car.
Here comes BLM ready to burn the city down
@@smack9x I don't know. Depends on the demographics but money is money and for anyone who has those items a car and a piece better be insurance up. Money rules. But no one is talking about him saving that passenger. The dude is awesome.
They better not go after the Lyft driver for shooting them after the perp was already attempting to drive awy... Wouldn't be surprised though
@@mattr8251 IKR, this driver did a good thing in my book.
I do not care if he has a permit.Did the criminals have permits?
Lyft's policy is that you can not drive for them while armed.
I drove for them for close to two years.
There would be times I had to take law enforcement home after they had a night on the town. Without exception; every officer advised me to get a firearm for when I drove.
I took that advice.
Fuck Lyft. If you conceal it properly, with the exception of a traffic stop the only time Lyft will know about it is when it saved your life. I'd say that's worthwhile. The policy is clearly made to appease liberal Lyft riders who are afraid of guns, the same that would cry and wimper in fear in a situation like this and beg for a driver like this one.
Lyft won’t be there to save you either . Who cares about their policy . It’s your car!
@Trucker Chase I envy you, I'm Canadian and can have a gun in my truck if I travel within Canada (I have my PAL - a weekend course you have to take to get your gun license in Canada). But I am not allowed to bring my gun into the U.S where let's get real, I probably would need it the most haha. I've been avoiding driving in the U.S my entire career as a result of this rule. You as a US citizen would not be allowed to bring your gun to Canada but would be probably 10x less at risk of a shooting/robbery while you're up here, where as I face the opposite issue when I'm down there.
@Trucker Chase Good.
This reporter does a great job at reporting this incident!
