| Thugs sought in CTA robbery |
Chicago, IL—A federal judge just obliterated a portion of Illinois law that previously barred people with concealed weapon licenses from carrying them on public transportation. Now, thugs targeting innocent men and women on the CTA might find themselves on the wrong end of a gun. The tables have turned, and criminals may soon be the ones ending up in black rubber body bags.
Back in the day, when the CTA had its own plainclothes police force, and later when Chicago cops did undercover work on the CTA, the bodies of these thugs routinely piled up at the Cook County Morgue. It looks like history is about to repeat itself. There were so many justifiable shootings politicians ordered the cops to only wear their uniforms so the offenders were not caught off guard. Politicians knew that allowing that enforcement tactic to continue would ignite perilous racial tensions.
Chicago’s subway predators are now in for some well-deserved surprises. And this time, CTA’s video cameras will be there to capture every moment of karma in action. Given Chicago’s racial crime statistics, there’s no mystery who the offenders will be.
If a citizen has to defend themselves by pulling the trigger, they have no obligation to stick around or talk to the cops. The police will review the video footage and decide if the armed citizen was justified. They of course will want to chat with the citizen, but as the Rolling Stones said, "You can’t always get what you want!"
If you’re ever in this position, remember four simple words: "I want a lawyer." The police will seize your gun and send it to the crime lab for ballistics testing. If no charges are filed within a reasonable time, your gun will be returned. Smart citizens will already have a second gun ready, so they aren’t left defenseless during the process.
As for the mothers of the dead thugs, they shouldn’t expect any of those so-called “ghetto lottery” payouts the city hands out after police shootings. Even if the shootings are deemed egregious, but no charges are filed, no,lawsuits will will surface. Do you need now worry that race hustling lawyer, Ben Crump to show up unless there’s a fat payday in it for him.
Instead, these mothers should focus on guiding their troubled sons and daughters toward legitimate paths to success.
