Would-be carjackers runaway from car with manual transmission, reports say<\/h3>\n

Two men wearing ski masks tried to take a 58-year-old man’s car at gunpoint Friday morning in New Orleans’ Central Business District, but they ended up running away because they couldn’t drive a car with a manual transmission, reports to police said.<\/p>\n

Two men wearing ski masks approached their victim in the 600 block of Loyola Avenue, near the Hyatt Regency Hotel around 9:43 a.m., reports to police said.<\/p>\n

One of the masked men was armed and told the victim to hand over his wallet and keys, according to the New Orleans Police Department’s Major Offense Log, a list of crimes reported to police that are pending confirmation via investigation.<\/p>\n

The masked men got in the car and tried to drive away, but they were stopped by the car’s manual transmission.<\/p>\n

The men couldn’t navigate the stick shifter, so they ran away \u2014 taking nothing more than the victim’s wallet.<\/p>\n

A recent citywide survey shows that during the first six months of 2021, violent crime \u2013 homicides, non-fatal shootings, car-jackings and armed robberies \u2013 increased citywide by 47 percent over the same period in 2020.<\/p>\n

The most alarming spike was car-jackings with a 101 percent increase, followed by non-fatal shootings with a 64 percent increase. Homicides are up 27 percent, while armed robberies edged down by 6 percent, the study shows.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sergeant Major of the Army tweets about diversity and inclusion on this #WomensEqualityDay<\/h3>\n

The same day more than a dozen US servicemen were killed in Afghanistan, #Priorities<\/p>\n

As Twitchy reported, a tone-deaf Speaker Nancy Pelosi is spouting off today about Women\u2019s Equality Day while men, women, and children \u2014 including at least a dozen U.S. Marines \u2014 have been killed outside the airport in Kabul by a pair of suicide bombers. This might have been a scheduled tweet, which is further proof that scheduled tweets are often a bad idea.<\/p>\n

Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston tweeted Thursday about Women\u2019s Equality Day and the importance of not just diversity in the Army but inclusion as well.<\/p>\n

Diversity is a number – do you have people that don\u2019t look or think like you in the room? Inclusion is listening and valuing those people. #WomensEqualityDay<\/a> reminds us we\u2019re smarter and more lethal when we come together as an inclusive, cohesive team. Our values demand it. pic.twitter.com\/b72l2EcIn0<\/a><\/p>\n
