I read on twitter that they might bring charges against the employee because the robber was unarmed.... Chicago/Cook county not shocking...

Expect to see more of this as people get fed up with the government not prosecuting criminals.

Normally if the thug had a hammer... he would be consider armed.... but not in a liberal blue city with pussy footed DAs. But the shot in the butt is bad news for the employee it the thug was actually running away.

If he was “unarmed” how was he swinging at the glass cases? with his legs?

“the robber was unarmed...”

Common sense says how would the employee know that?.....of course being chitcago, common sense is no doubt in short supply.

A Chicago jewelry store employee with a concealed carry permit "allegedly" opened fire on an alleged robber

Nope, no media bias here, folks.

[BigFreakinToad]

not surprising if they do, this is $hitcongo after all.

***CWChicago reported the alleged 27-year-old robber****

Well, at least he wasn't a teen. Allegedly.

[Tommy Revolts]

The alleged robber was released from custody

[stylin19a]

alleged...can’t go out out a limb here...

[Bon of Babble]

The alleged robber was released from custody Sunday but CBS News noted charges 'are pending.'

Charges against the business owner, right?

Christine lives near the jewelry story and she told CBS News, I think to throw all the responsibility on the business owners or the residences is really not the right way to go.

Then they wonder why and complain that there are no businesses left in their part of town - as they continue to vote for the likes of Brandon Johnson.

Shot in the arse... The employee had good aim!

draws a pistol, racks the slide, and fires

that's a very poetic description.

I’m familiar with this neighborhood. It’s commonly known as Jewlers Row on South Wabash Ave. The owners of the shops on this strip are very tough hombres. Also politically respected by City Hall. I think the shops and their employees get “special” protection.

So the robber was “unarmed”. He was also robbing a store, but I guess that means little to nothing nowadays. The important thing seems to be that a gun was involved. What if the robber was a martial arts master? Then, theoretically, he WAS armed. What if the robber got away unharmed, but then was apprehended later for the same crime? Still “not guilty”? Through every conceivable circumstance, I fail to see why the store employee should be charged with anything,but I guess a simple robbery nowadays is considered a “no fault” situation by the courts. If that is so, then the judge had better be looking forward to the time when he & others involved will be judged by the Judge of all mankind.
