Carjack Attempt
My best friend used to work downtown Chicago back around 2000. One day he was in his then brand new Dodge Durango and had the same situation as the OP where three or four guys were blocking the street in front of him. Well, he knew exactly what they were trying to do and wasn't having any of it!! He didn't give a damn what happened to his car so he floored it and aimed right toward one of the thugs.
Once they realized what he was doing they all scattered, but he kept a bead on the one he was originally aiming for. The guy ran into an adjacent alley and got away but my buddy said he had every intention of ramming him if he could have.

If they dont get out of the way when I drop a gear and the pipes bark, then thats their problem. BTW, try to hit them along the outside edge so when the roll over the hood they hit the windshield frame. You run less risk of cracking your windshield this way.
not to be an *******....but was your friend or brother in law affiliated with any gangs or were into drugs? how do you know it was an atrempted carjacking and not a hit out on your friend?
let us know about what happens with he investigation? did the story make the paper?

The heat from the firing of the bullet will destroy any legitimate print on the casing. Your best bet is an ID. It alot easier when they are dead. Sad to say. Sadder that they are that stupid to try to jack a car with onstar, wouldnt make it down the street before they shut the car down. That being said I carry a a 40cal glock and a 40 cal sub compact in my waistband. Until enough people complain, the court system will continue to let these scum out after 2 - 3 days. I know. Put a guy away for carjacking and arrested him again 3 days later for selling crack. I demanded prison time on this one. They didnt even speak with me on the last, he was out on bail

That was the accepted idea for quite awhile. However, a new method to visualize latent prints has been developed. It is based on the development of microscopic metal corrosion induced via oils secreted on the fingerprints. This corrosion would appear as "branding" on the casing, and it is resistant to heat degradation. It is quite a novel concept, and it has been used successfully after dusting and fuming have revealed negative visual results.

It is coming right along... We were waiting on a few parts to come in, and they did, so they just finished mounting the tranny to the diff and engine...Ron should be posting more pictures this coming week! We still have a lot to do..turbo piping, wiring, etc. I am hoping that it should be ready by Christmas. I have been very good this year so that Vengeance..er, Santa can leave a present under my tree! 
Will keep ya posted!

Not to start a pissing match, but since we are quoting tertiary sources, my boyfriend has a little experience with this, also
For your reading pleasure:Journal of Forensic Sciences (DOI: 10.1111/j.1556-4029.2008.00738.x)
I thought FDLE would be all over this, but since it is fairly new technology, not many are in the know
How is that Kenne Bell c6 "kit" coming along?
I hear that someone has finally gotten tired of waiting:

First I'm glad your friend will be alright. Semper FI. Whenever a situation goes to crap I always hope I've got another Marine with me. As for the above captioned quote if this is the case FDLE doesn't know about it. I speak with a substantial amount of experience in this area.The fact of the matter is Law Enforcement is overwhelmed and the restrictions placed on us is making it more and more difficult. The only thing more powerful than a defense attorney's forked tongue is public outcry. Write your representative's and in today's society think of you and your family first. Due to recent events in my area I know carry an AR15 in my trunk. I will not be a victim. The press goes through great lengths to demonize law enforcement, but keeps the public in the dark as to the conditions of the areas they live in. Wrong forum I know, but this is something everyone needs to know.
