It was a dark and cold winter night on Tuesday, 27 December in Milwaukee, at 10 p.m. The sun had set more than three hours ago. There was no moon, but there was a cold breeze. The temperature held at 23 degrees. The blustery wind of the afternoon had dropped off. A 36-year-old Milwaukee resident was walking his dog in a secluded neighborhood. Street lights were far apart.Two teenage criminals were in a car, cruising for trouble. They found it. The armed teens attempted to rob the man. He had a concealed carry permit, a handgun, and fought back. One of the teens was killed, the other, seriously wounded, fled in the car back to the scene of a previous shooting. From Fox6now.com:
Police say their preliminary investigation reveals Thomas was attempting to commit a robbery at the time of the shooting and was shot by the 36-year-old Milwaukee man who was being robbed — who was out walking his dog on Tuesday night. That man is being questioned by investigators. He has not been arrested, and police say this case will be reviewed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office in the coming days.
The man has a concealed carry permit.
Officials also say Thomas’ co-actor, an 18-year-old Milwaukee man, was also shot during the altercation. He apparently went to the neighborhood near 24th and Ruby after the incident — and has since been taken into custody.
Police Chief Ed Flynn, a transplant from Massachusetts and New Jersey, says a big part of the Milwaukee homicide problem is concealed carry permits. From the postcresent.com:

There has got to be a long-term effect of CCW holders killing these recidivist felon scumbags, and the thugs that are on the same trajectory, but have just started their life of crime. However, I suspect we won’t see the drop in the crime rate for years, because there so many of these thugs that just get recycled back onto the streets to commit more crimes after the hospitals save them.
...shootings involving concealed carry permit holders — many of whom have extensive criminal recordsI would think that having "extensive criminal records" would preclude the issuing of concealed carry permits to those individuals. Perhaps the chief is just making stuff up as most anti-gun people do.
He is saying that having a few misdemeanors is an “extensive criminal history”.
Or put more succinctly — He’s lying.

JUSTIFIED. Next....
Since homicide is the killing of a human, even if justified, he is right. But this idiot wants to imply that lawful CCW permit holders are out looking for someone to kill.
100% B.S.
100% B.S.
I suspect you mean that Chief Flynn’s comments are B.S., but that is only from reading you in the past.
Yes. Sorry I wasn’t clear enough.
I ADORE Sheriff Clarke. Wisconsin is SO lucky to have him - and we need to CLONE him, STAT!
With CCW, there may have been up to two homocides in this case. Without CCW there would have only been one. So the Police Chief is right!
Sounds like hopefully the only person to be charged with murder will be the wounded thug.
CoPs of ‘Rat Urban Utopias seem to be way more retarded than elected sheriffs ( most of whom are NOT in anyway retarded).
