  1. Its Kia’s fault for making nice things.

    Nobody stole them back when they were $6000 and lasted about two years before rusting out.

  2. I love this “defund the police” stuff, probably because I don’t live in Minneapolis. It also feels very “if women ran the world” style of thinking. The world isn’t working because it was designed by men. If we let women design the world (no police, therefore no crime) everything will be fine. I am standing back with a beer in hand waiting for my popcorn to arrive. Ladies be sure to get this stuff organized before the next mid-term so that your decisions get reflected in the election results. A nod to Mamdani and the free stuff for everyone mandate about to come true in New York. If I was a script writer in Hollywood I’d be switching to non-fiction.

  3. L. – It is astounding, how much crime is blamed on inanimate objects and how little agency is attributed to people, who commit crimes. But notable is the effect of the same ideology, of a lack of agency, dissuades the voting public, from believing, they have the agency to reduce crime.

    The same belief hides from the citizenry, that political authority rests with them. Any responsibility, they fail to exercise, will be grabbed by the bureaucracy. Then to be used not in the public interest.

    1. As I posted (again) in yesterday’s story about our schools screwing over boys … I recounted my son’s elementary school principal who “solved” the problem of bullies on the playground who threw other kids balls onto the roof of the school … by BANNING balls. Yes, the hens BANNED balls (brought from home). Banned an inanimate object … not the punk ass bullies who disposed of the balls on the roof.

  4. Ayn Rand failed to exaggerate her story characters adequately. Leftists living in the land of abundance are FAR worse than any of her impoverished Soviet era scolds. We “have so much” here in America that it MUST be … shared … equally … by all … for all.

  5. Turn back the clock two-hundred years and current leftist thinking applied to horse thieving would be to hang the horse.
    The reason Kia and Hyundai got lumped together in this is likely because they’re both South Korean companies i.e. their executives come from a functioning society imbued with values including the rule of law and family honour which likely makes theft or crime of any kind vanishingly rare. Then they met a Democrat-run city.
    The end game of liberalism is law of the jungle.

    1. Kia and Hyundai are essentailly the same thing. Korean GM. Same nuts and bolts.
      …and ignition cylinders that could be picked with a usb cable.

  6. “…the “Kia Boys,” as they’ve been described, are young teens, often black, who are stealing cars for fun and for social media cred. Contrary to what Manjoo claims, TikTok isn’t just providing dry information on how to steal the cars, it’s the platform where the ‘Kia Challenge’ went viral.”

    In other words, the Chinese Communist Party is exploiting America’s Negro problem for all the propaganda value it’s worth, openly goading young Negro halfwits into stealing cars from white people, and counting on Western media to smear anyone who complains that young Negroes stole his car as a racist.

    Oh, the CCP cadres at TikTok know exactly what they’re doing. They use TikTok to stir up trouble in every country on Earth posing a threat to Red Chinese domination of the world—turning every over-educated idiot in the West against Israel one day, making car theft look fashionable in America the next.
