With roughly 75 days to go before the Democrat National Convention rolls into town, Chicago’s crime problem just seems to keep growing. It seems the Dems putting on the event have selected “Our future is created here” as the event’s slogan. Given that Murder City USA has its own reputation that most of America probably doesn’t want, the entire convention has the potential to become an epic disaster.
Fortunately, with more and more good guys nationwide embracing the proven benefits of firearm ownership, the good guys manage to notch a win once in a while in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s hellhole. In fact, this past weekend, the locals notched three wins, giving the establishment media outlets not one, but three opportunities to bury stories of good guys with guns fighting back and winning against predatory thugs.
In one case, three brazen bullies attacked a man and beat him severely. He pulled out his carry piece and shot one of the perps five times. Two others also received solid hits sending all three on complimentary ambulance rides to the hospital in critical condition. The CCW holder suffered great bodily harm during the beatdown and is also in critical condition.
Unfortunately for the CCW holder, the thugs he popped are his neighbors, so he’ll likely need to move very soon.
In another incident, a rolling robbery crew picked the wrong CCW holder to rob early Saturday morning. Their intended victim pulled his piece and opened up on the robbery crew sending them scurrying to an easier mark.
And then a determined 50-year-old home intruder learned first-hand of the hazards of breaking into an armed good guy’s home when people are present. That perp is now in critical condition after a CCW holder shot him.
Police didn’t charge any of the good guys, or any of the bad guys. Of course, there’s no rush to arrest bad guys in critical condition in the hospital. And those who escaped without obvious injury know of the city’s reputation for an inability to identify and take offenders – er, potentially “justice-impacted individuals” into custody.
Here’s the story from Block Club Chicago:
CHICAGO — Three concealed carry holders across Chicago fired at their attackers in self defense this weekend, wounding four people in the three shootings, police said.
Two of the shootings took place on the Northwest Side and one in Chatham.
The Northwest side is what passes as the “safest” part of Murder City.
About 11:30 p.m. Friday, a 43-year-old man was arguing with three men in the 4700 block of West Wrightwood Avenue in Belmont Cragin when the three men attacked him, police said. The 43-year-old pulled out a handgun and shot the three.
A 29-year-old man was shot five times in his torso, a 22-year-old was shot once in his chest and a 55-year-old man was shot in his neck, police said. All three were taken to area hospitals in critical condition.
The CCW holder took out all three attackers. That’s impressive. Here’s to a quick recovery for him.
The second shooting involving a concealed carry holder this weekend happened about 3:30 a.m. Saturday. A 34-year-old man was walking to his car in the 3700 block of North Spaulding Avenue in Irving Park when three people got out of a black car with guns drawn and demanded the man’s car keys, police said.
“I got your keys right here, buddy.”
At 12:50 a.m. Sunday, a 50-year-old man was trying to break into a house in the 8100 block of South Champlain Avenue when a homeowner fired shots at him, police said. The man was shot in his back and was taken by paramedics to University of Chicago Hospital, where he was in critical condition, police said.
In Chicago, locals as well as tourists and those who commute there for work are on their own. The only thing that stops bad people with evil in their hearts is a good guy with a gun.
