From Reader Brad_In_IL comes this excellent summary of something that happened in my old home town outside Chicago:
1) Woman is frightened of scumbag,
2) Woman obtains order of protection against scumbag
3) Scumbag breaks into woman’s apartment with malfeasance in his heart
4) Woman shoots scumbag dead.
5) Cops, firefighters are called to clean up the mess.
And for those interested in the details, here they are.
She’s not going to be charged… not even in Illinois would they dare.
she should receive the key to the city etc etc. Give her a rebate equal to her property taxes. the legal system just saved far more money than that with the goblin’s demise
Update ..
The shooter was a different person, had a valid IL concealed carry license. He got off one round, scored a center mass hit and dropped the miscreant.
The best part .. the Arlington Heights police have declared this a clean shoot .. no charges will be filed.
“…no charges will be filed.”
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
