It's getting completely out of control because there are zero consequences for doing it.

The cops aren't likely to arrest for it, and on the off chance they do catch the car jacker the DA lets them off on reduced charges; so they're back out in the street doing it again within a few days.

My hot take is that a 14 year old armed car jacker is in fact a danger to society, and should be sent to juvenile prison. They should not be allowed to continue terrorizing and attacking members of society solely because of their age.

Regardless the people involved in car jackings do tend to be older than 14.

I don't disagree. There's a reason 3rd world countries are the way they are and enlightened ones are, well enlightened.

3rd world countries are barbaric and cruel because the economic situations force them to be so. Once their economic conditions improve a lot of problems are solved.

if you have bands of armed 14 years olds running around, you're heading in the direction of 'chopping arms off is a good response'.

These stick-up kids aren't armed. Car thieves usually lurk in the night and steal your car while you are sleeping. New key tech requires them to steal the car while the keys are in it. Which usually includes you.

So what consequence would you impose upon these children.

A stint in a juvenile detention center no where near the city, and a case worker assigned to figure out what the issue is and direct appropriate services to address it.

Doesn't matter. Here in Philly no bystander would have helped her. This bus driver deserves a raise!
