You're ubiquitous when one of your own is allegedly violated.
How 'bout it?
Put a microphone in the man's face and see him fall over himself.

Andrew Chaplowitz on Short Hills Mall Carjacking Murder
Heinous. Reprehensible. Senseless. But not uncommon.
Granted, an arrest is not an indictment. It is not a conviction.
However, I'm interested in the testimony of only one material witness, the surviving spouse:
If she identifies any one of them of committing the act, pre-indictment, then I say:
Anthony Robbins, in his teachings, talks about psychic wounds. In other words, some people can lose thousands in a casino, without reaction, but will" black out" because the server at a Taco restaurant gives them the wrong sauce.
Obviously, incarceration does not deter these animals (and I hate using the word "animal" because it disparages animals).
Moving the crime to the federal level, with no chance to join their "homies" locally and have visitors, has not deterred. Carjackings are through the roof in Essex County, the auto manufacturers a victim of their own success with anti-theft devices.
So, it begs the question:
What is the psychic wounds of carjackers? What emotion would they do the most to avoid, that would hurt them the most? Some stick their tongue out at the court when being sentenced to capital punishment.
What can the industry do? Why did Lo-Jack become invisible? When I had mine installed, they wouldn't let me watch where they put it. One phone call could trace. Or On-Star for that matter.
Some say if you disable the car during a joyride, and the perp is injured, they will sue. Give me a break.
How about a tiny camera in the car?
And on a more critical level, what can the public do, pro-actively, to prevent this?
Carrying guns is not the answer, especially if you're outmanned. Do I start profiling everyone in a predominantly white mall, who wears baggy clothes, hoodies, and walks side-to-side? This would describe some of my friends and acquaintances, good, decent, working people.

- no trial
- no rights (right to confront witnesses, examine evidence, speedy trial
- no plea down to Man-1

- Is my choice of vehicle dictated by its theft target?
- Is my choice of phone dictated by theft potential? Do I avoid the I-Phone 5S because it's popular among thieves? If Apple figures a way to make the phone useless to thieves, do I risk being dragged to an isolated area by thugs to give up the password?
- Do I not buy a North Face Jacket, which has been rated unparalleled for providing warmth during the cold, because some punk who thinks they're entitled to it, will harm me over it?
