This robbery victim most likely thought about the fate of the New York subway victim Bernie Goetz.

Some good movies to rent this weekend:

"Death Wish" "Man on Fire" "The Brave One" "Death Sentence" "Eye for an Eye" "Munich"

He had apparently lost several teeth and suffered injury to his tongue, Powers said. It was believed that his injuries were not life-threatening.

What did he use, an Air-soft gun?

Wow. Chicago. This HAS to hit “close to home” for our president-elect.

Do you think maybe “Lawyer” Obama will take time out from his busy schedule ruining our country and the rest of the world to PERSONALLY prosecute this guy for defending himself?

Hope his license plate was not caught on the gas stations video, but that is why they have them.

Typical police. Chase after the victim and let the robbers go.

If he is smart, he will go home and dispose of the handgun after applying a file to the barrel and breech.

And then he will never say a thing to anyone about it.

I guess this is kind of a silly question to ask, but I sorta have to because the news story really didn't make it clear: Were the attempted robbers and their accomplices arrested and charged with a crime?

Just asking, because I assumed that armed robbery was, you know, still a "crime" in the Chicagoland area.

Well, well, well......the injured robbery attemptee was taken to West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, Illinois and lost several teeth.

I was born and raised in Oak Park....in the very same hospital as above, as a matter of fact. Oak Park is upper middle-class in that particular section of town. It's a western suburb of Chicago, a very tree-lined and beautiful village that puts great emphasis on education and always has. Ernest Hemingway went to Oak Park High School.

Now all the perp needs for Christmas is his two front teeth, hah.
