which is selective prosecution of the law and is illegal...

it will set precedent for the future

lets hope it comes back to bite him

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

and would any jury, even in Chicago convict him?

---

The answer might be yes if the racial makeup of the jury aligned with that of the dead perp and not of the homeowner.

You have to protect yourself and the Constitution and the 2nd amendment give you that right.

---

Well, technically the rights are of divine origin, and the Constitution and the 2nd amendment state that Congress may not infringe on them. But they don’t originate from the Constitution.

Daley ... insisted "I don't think the answer is guns."

No, it's so much better to be a victim in Daley's criminal utopia.

Disarm your guard detachment you hypocritical SOB if you don't think the answer is guns.

What a two-faced criminal enabling scumbag!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Not until all guns are banned (& vaporized) will a gun ban work.

I spend a few hours in a decent machine shop OR even a basic automotive garage and then a shopping trip to pick up some very common chemicals, I can put a crude but serviceable firearm together.

It'll take more than outlawing a tool to prevent their creation and utilization.

I would have buried him (and any other intruders in my home) and NOT informed the police.

“oops, i forgot, mayor daley is a dick...”

Ain't we lucky...a city with two dicks, Ritchie Daley and Dickie Durbin.

You’ll have to go to a government school for additional de-education!

Daley, “When I said that I was talking about everyone else not someone as important as me. I could really care less about the common people I am more concerned about number one. Besides, most people are to stupid to be allowed to exist whereas I am way, way above that.”

[Chode]

i shall rephrase that to wishes he had access to one but doesn't at the time

[Red in Blue PA]

If the 80 YO is charged, then so should every one of Daley’s Security Detail.

[Red in Blue PA]

“I don’t think the answer is guns.”

Then he should give up his armed security detail immediately, shouldn’t he?

[TYVets]

Daley is a thug, criminal, bully and outright BUM, but he’s not POLITICALLY stupid.

That covers all the qualifications needed to be The King of Illinois.

[TheConservativeParty]

Da Mayor should know that if “the question” is a gun, then the only effective and lifesaving answer for the intended victim is a gun.

I have elderly relatives in Chicago. My aunt says one night several persons were pounding on her door in the middle of the night. She was only lucky they left. The relatives are not armed, however they are moving out of Illinois soon after living there for 50 years.

Mayor Doofus, one should not have to rely on luck to survive in your brutal city. I ignore his unconstitutional unlaw when I visit. The Constitution is the law. I will no longer have reason to visit ChicagoLand after my relatives bug out of that hellhole.

How many rifles can be shoved up Daley’s butt?

Survey answers:

a) 1
b) 9,000
c) infinity

I predict answer c will get 99%. (There are a few FReepers who lack ambition.)

Good morning Phil,

I heard late yesterday that the homeowner will not be charged, to that I said, 'Well, duh. Maybe because he can't be'.

Everyone (chi MSM) seems to have forgot that after that Wilmette shooting a couple years back where Wilmette was going to Fine the homeowner, the State overwhelmingly passed an exemption for ANY law abiding citizen in IL who uses a Handgun in defense of his home and family. Despite any local 'handgun ban' law in place. This includes every 'Home Rule' City in IL like Chicago.

Then again, when did Daley ever care about a law he didn't like. He'd make the guy go through legal hell just for spite.

IMHO Daley didn't get enough butt kickings at De La Salle HS. Apparently once a week after Gym Class wasn't enough (I had an older friend who went there when Daley did.).

[2harddrive]

But HERE, guns WERE the answer! Has someone pointed that out to Daley?
