WATCH: Chicago Jewelry Store Employee Opens Fire on Alleged Robber
Breitbart ^ | 02/26/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 02/26/2024 6:33:21 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A Chicago jewelry store employee with a concealed carry permit opened fire on an alleged robber just before 11 a.m. Saturday morning, striking him with at least two bullets.

CWChicago reported the alleged 27-year-old robber walked to a jewelry case near the store’s front door and allegedly swung at it, in order to smash the glass. As this was happening, “a man behind the counter draws a pistol, racks the slide, and fires as the [alleged] thief appears to be turning toward the door.”

The alleged robber then falls out of the door, but quickly reaches back inside to pick up something that he dropped. He then ran to the “L” platform, suffering from a gunshot wound to the abdomen and one to the buttocks

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.

White employee, black perp.

I’m sure the employee will get a jury of “his” peers......his being the perp of course.

One of the jewelry stores we have used in the past has an electric locking front door.

You have to buzz to be allowed in and can’t egress out until staff unlocks the door.......I really don’t understand why more jewelry stores don’t adopt that safegard.

An Alleged Chicago jewelry store’s alleged employeee, with an alleged carry permit, allegedly open fire on an alleged perpetrator who had allegedly just robbed the alleged jewelry store

So, with much certainty , we allegedly assume that an alleged judge will allegedly find in favor of the alleged criminal

Sincerely, alleged.

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.

Thugs are stealing cars and ramming them through locked doors now, jumping out, and robbing en mass, then taking off in the car if it still runs.
