Teen messes around and finds out when he tries to carjack D.C. grandma

If you’ve spent any time on the internet this year, you’ve seen the “f*** around and find out” meme. One teen in Washington, D.C., certainly earned his “find out” stripes last week when he tried to carjack a local grandma on her way to cancer treatment.

WJLA reported that the woman, known in her neighborhood as “Grandma,” was on her way to chemotherapy on Friday when the 15-year-old approached her car. She told the news, “Next thing I know, he walked up talking about, ‘Give me your keys, I got a gun.’ I said, ‘Baby, you better shoot me, because you’re not taking my car.’”

The two fought over the keys, and Grandma said he pushed her into the car door — and then she started hitting him. Her calls were heard by neighbors, who came out to help and caught the teen as he ran away. It’s unclear whether his injuries came from Grandma or from whatever happened between the neighbors grabbing him and police arriving, but the teen left the scene in an ambulance. As Grandma noted, he apparently chose the wrong neighborhood. "They said it’s a wonder he wasn’t dead. On 22nd street? He must didn’t know where he was. Nobody has seen this boy before.”
