Maybe they scraped enough change together and took a bus to this untapped hunting ground.

I would not judge so quickly. The presence of the female is a cause for caution. Women have been involved in B&Es with men before but it is not often at all. I suspect you are right but I would want more information such as evidence of the break-in or evidence that the three were brought in. It could conceivably be satisfaction (as opposed to collection) of a bad drug debt, for instance.

I think you’re exactly right. Who brings a girl on a break-in?

“A pity he lives in Chicago, if he was from Texas (or any other rural red state), the sheriff would have complemented his shooting skills, pat him on the back and that would have been the end of it....”

Shouldn’t have called the cops. Should have performed the “3S” and let it go at that.

A tweaker.

One person killed in Charlottesville, and the Rats and MSM are screaming. Hundreds killed in Chicago, and they don’t seem to care.

As I understand it, Illinois does not have a stand your ground or castle doctrine. If I understand correctly, the home owner has a duty to retreat if possible.

Well, at least he can celebrate Barack Obama day in his jail cell.

The homeowner told police three people broke into his home Sunday night through the basement and he acted in self-defense, shooting the alleged intruders before locking himself inside a room and calling police.

If the story checks out, give the homeowner a commendation - he defended himself, instead of waiting unarmed for the police to come and find his corpse.

That’s right.

Because the media still refuses to pin the blame for Chicago squarely where it belongs—on Dem Mayor Rahm Emmanuel.

He has been Mayor for years, but—not his fault.

Trump is in NJ, nowhere near Charlottesville—but it is his fault.

I’m interested in what charges he could face for this. I’m assuming there needs to be some evidence that it was NOT self defense. And the burden of proof is on the state.

Since he’s under 18, he is technically not a man, but a boy.

Personally, I think the age should be 12. Dead serious.

The fact that a woman was involved suggests that it might not be what it seems.


Sexist!

Have you watched any of the thousands of Internet videos of the aggressive hood females attacking and fighting?

So far police won’t say exactly what the homeowner is being charged with, but he did have a valid firearms card.

Tyranny.

The Mob makes money from the drug gangs and gives some to the politicians.

THAT is why the problem won’t be resolved.

No, and I’m sure the hood females are aggressive, but still. Breaking and entering seems to be a man’s job. ;)

“As long as you stay in the rural South.

Marxist Yankees and ‘Hood Rats come around here with their ball bats and bike locks there will be a lot of dead Marxist Yankees and ‘Hood Rats.”

Actually, in my experience Chicago has always been pretty darn good on these kind of things. The cops pick up very quickly on who is good and who is bad. Charges are seldom filed on good guy. When they are its usually for some secondary issue not related to sell defend. The cops do suck though on getting your gun back. However, there is a new less than useless states attorney so things may be changing.
