Chicago sues automakers over cars being stolen

For several years now, Chicago’s spiraling crime rates have featured a shocking increase in the number of vehicular thefts and carjackings. The Chicago Police Department recorded an increase in car thefts from 9,000 to 21,000 in just the past three years. Among the most popular cars to steal are Kias and Hyundais, possibly because they are the easiest to break into and drive away. In response, the city’s new anti-cop mayor, Brandon Johnson, has decided to finally do something about it. Will he be sending out the police to arrest the thieves and break up the criminal gang? Don’t be silly. Of course not. He’s filing a lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai, claiming that their cars are too easy to steal. (I only wish I was kidding about this.) The following is from our colleague Julio Rosas at Townhall.


Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) announced on Thursday the city is suing automakers Kia and Hyundai for “their failure to include industry-standard engine immobilizers in multiple models of their vehicles,” which according to the city, is the reason for the high rate of crimes involving cars.

“The impact of car theft on Chicago residents can be deeply destabilizing, particularly for low- to middle-income workers who have fewer options for getting to work and taking care of families. The failure of Kia and Hyundai to install basic auto-theft prevention technology in these models is sheer negligence, and as a result, a citywide and nationwide crime spree around automobile theft has been unfolding around our eyes,” Johnson said in a statement.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Stupid liberal nonsense.

Stopping crime (public safety) is supposed to be one of the core competencies of Government.

How long before Chicago is a bankrupt urban wasteland?

So they are essentially walking into this admitting that  they are not making the effort to stop crime, and are demanding automakers build tanks to thwart the consequences of their lackadaisical policies.

That should work well.

Soon to be suing the local stores for not locking up their merchandise well enough to prevent being looted...

The simple solution: leave the city and don't look back.
