Gun brandished during South Bend carjackingSBT24/7 News ReportPolice are looking for a man who stole a car at gunpoint in South Bend early Sunday. The carjacking happened about 6:45 a.m. at the intersection of Linden Avenue and Johnson Street on the city's west side, city 911 dispatchers said. No one was injured in the incident. The victim described the gunman as a black male in his 20s, wearing a white shirt and blue shorts. He was last seen driving the tan 1997 Mazda Protege west towards Olive Street.

I don't mind the occasional car jacking!! I just get sick and tired of being worried about getting pulled over for speeding 5 miles over or not wearing a seatbelt or my muffler being too loud! Gosh, they pull you over for anything these days! They need the funding! They know it!

Since we can't profile, heaven forbid it is illegal, keep it fair. Also, for those with legal weapons let them be sworn deputy officers just in case they are around at the time of a criminal act. South Bend is worse than the wild wild west days. I'm ashamed to live here. Be brave and take a ride on the west side and the north west side.

Giving out free cars is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Shall we give everyone free gas too? I'm very sure that I'd rather have my tax dollars go to feed the homeless, NOT the car less.

If they keep everyone behind bars that commit a crime, then what do we need them for?

The west side is getting as bad as Iraq! The local Government turns a blind eye again and again.

They will need to piggy back on this program to supply an unlimited supply of those who needed a car. I sure the goverment can find something to tax the poor working citizens on to make things more fair for all.

Probably because they just keep letting them out of jail and they go and do it again till they murder someone. But they will still get released for murder wierd. Add a commentMost Popular |

Maybe if the mayor or our judges were to take a walk on the westside streets at night (with no protection, of course), we could get some action.
