[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charles Allen is rewriting the criminal code including penalties for carjackings.  They will now just be "armed robberies" which will be a lesser sentence.[/quote]

Serious question: if you hold someone up at gunpoint, why does it matter whether you're stealing their car or their wallet?[/quote]

of course it does. is this a serious question? 1, carjacking is MUCH more dangerous. 2, a car is worth much more than the content of your wallet. [/quote]

I don't buy the "much more dangerous." Someone pointing a gun in your face is dangerous whether you're standing or sitting. [/quote]

Yeah, in a non-violent crime the dollar amount is important. When it comes to violent crime the thing being stolen is beside the point. [/quote]

Do you honestly not understand why it’s inherently more dangerous for someone to invade your car, push you out of it, and drive off wildly? maybe with your baby or dog still inside, or you hanging out of the door? come on. [/quote]
