The Jefferson County (Birmingham, AL) Sheriff's Office on Wednesday announced formal charges against 17-year-old Quinderris Brown. He is charged as an adult with first-degree robbery.
The holdup happened on Aug. 18. Deputies about 4:30 p.m. that day responded to the 2300 block of Fourth Street N.W. to investigate a report of a robbery. Chief Deputy Randy Christian said the 23-year-old victim told authorities he had been doing door-to-door sales in the area of Seventh Street N.W. and was sitting in his vehicle to eat and complete paperwork. As he did so, he said a black male suspect came up to the window and pointed a handgun at him. The suspect - later identified as Brown - demanded his phone, tablet and car keys. The victim complied and Brown tried to drive away in the car.
The suspect, however, was unable to operate a car with a manual transmission. He left the tablet and the keys in the car and fled on foot.
Christian said the victim was able to track his mobile phone and provide deputies with the location. Deputies located the suspect at an apartment on Tamera Trail, and took him into custody.

So, if he goes to a driving instructor asking to learn to drive a manual transmission, should it be allowed?

If you can't find it, grind it Pharrell.

Reason #2,471 why I ordered a Standard trans in my jeep.

I was hoping that the driver had pulled his concealed carry and scattered the carjacker's brains all over the street.

I learned how to first drive on a stick and did so for 12 years thereafter.

I've been behind the wheel of a vehicle with a stick for a total of 5 minutes.
It didn't go well.

In an ironic twist of PC fate, "teen" will become the next big racist word because it always refers to dumb black criminal kids in these articles.
The papers will have to find a new term, something like "humans"

I can't talk talk shite. I can't drive a stick either. Never had one and no one ever had one to teach me.

Same here. My dad physically couldn't drive a stick (polio). My mom can barely drive an automatic. I had one grandparent that drove a stick, but we didn't see them often.
