IL: Chicago man with CC license shoots robber

#1

Post by ELB »

This happened on 12 Dec 2017 but I do not see it covered in this forum:
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/local/ ... rry-permit
Shortly after 2 a.m., a 27-year-old man was pulling his vehicle into a back yard lot in the 9100 block of South Blackstone when another male approached and pointed a weapon, according to Chicago Police.

The 27-year-old, who has a concealed carry permit, opened fire, striking the would-be robber in the chest, police said. The suspect was taken in critical condition to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The reason it comes up now is that the robber who was shot just died from his gunshot wound. Note that the fact that man is robber who threatened the license holder with a gun is...somewhat obscured...in the title:
Man paralyzed by concealed carry holder in 2017 dies from injuries, police say
A south suburban quadriplegic who died at a suburban hospital over the weekend succumbed to injuries he suffered in 2017, when he was shot and paralyzed by a concealed carry permit holder in the city’s Calumet Heights neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.
It's not until the second half of the story that you found out the "victim" of the concealed carry license holder was the would-be robber from 12 Dec 2017.

There’s so much moral bankruptcy in Chicago it’s hard to enumerate. SJW’s posing as “journalists” in liberal rags are just one example.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

I don't have words to describe how disgusting this form of 'yellow journalism' continues. :mad5
