This is the new Democrat offensive – punishing the victims for their epic failures.

Democrats have defunded the police, decriminalized violent crime, installed crime loving Soros DAs,  leading to staggering increases in crime in Democrat cities.

Baltimore joins other Democrat cities, including Cleveland, Milwaukee, Seattle, and St. Louis have also sued the car companies.

Baltimore blames Hyundai and Kia for making cars too easy to steal, launches suit

Conversely, Kia and Hyundai blamed those who steal cars for vehicle theft.

By: Post Millennial, May 18, 2023;

Baltimore, Maryland has become the latest left-leaning American city to blame auto manufacturers for the “vehicular crime wave” sweeping the region.

The city filed a lawsuit against both Kia and Hyundai on May 11, arguing that their cars are too easy for criminals to break into.

According to WBALTV, Baltimore claimed in its lawsuit that Kia and Hyundai’s decision not to equip vehicles with “industry-standard vehicle immobilization technology” was behind the 95 percent spike in car thefts in the city over the past year.

To back up their claim, officials noted that Kias and Hyundais make up a staggering 40 percent of all vehicles stolen in Baltimore in 2022.

Other cities, including Cleveland, Milwaukee, Seattle, and St. Louis have also sued the car companies.

The idea is to rob and cripple murder the entire country, make us believe it was a suicide, and make the world believe we were an experiment that never should be allowed to happen again.

It’s even worse than that, but no one wants to hear it.

MN’s Muslim-Marxist AG Keith Ellison has been targeting private businesses as the cause of the criminal chaos, after defunding the police. What a creative way to destroy capitalism.

Yes, scapegoating innocent people is what they do.

“Baltimore blames Hyundai and Kia for making cars too easy to steal, launches suit”

Like saying sue bicycle manufacturers because bikes are easy to steal.
Or sue Apple since I-phones are easy to steal. Or sue KFC, since they don’t put extra locks or shatter proof glass around their drumsticks.

It’s hard to design a car that can’t be hijacked. I drive old reliable cars that don’t go very fast. Plus it can’t be hard to install a ‘kill switch’ that makes the car just run on a couple of cylinders so that the bad guys abandon it.

I recently bought a used 2015 Nissan Sentra. It has a keyless fob which I use to unlock it, and it didn’t occur to me at the time that if I didn’t keep it locked, it would be easy to steal as once one gets in the car, one pushes the brake and presses a button, and it starts. If I could have found an older car in good, workable condition, I would have bought it. A lot of bells and whistles on the 2015 that I don’t need, and I don’t use. I miss my 2020 Toyota Corolla.

Car jacking started when the government insisted auto ignition switches be bolted to the column.This made stealing them too difficult and taking them at gun point popular.The auto companies warned us that would happen.Kia’s are easily stolen but is mostly done when the owner is away.This is politicians trying to point the blame away from the cause,poor or no parenting of a certain sub set.

Just more proof to show Law abiding American that these people are:
1. No longer in the relm of sanity!
Or
are literally causing cause, mayham, and crime in a sane, davelish, melicuius, premeditated insanity.
Either way, the end game is well seen to the sane, normal citizen.
They want to destroy the old America to it’s last remaing standing building and rebuild it under their Nazi, insane, devilish, Middlevillen psychotic, sociopathic, holocaust regime.
In both cases, the only power who can save the world from this Sadom & Gomorrah madness are the Russians.
