A gun pointed at his gut, the off-duty sheriff's sergeant digs through his pockets with his left hand, fumbling for money, as the three robbers surround him at the Far South Side gas station.

The sergeant is surer with his right hand, quickly drawing his own gun and firing point-blank. The gunman, 16, drops at his feet as the two others scatter, according to surveillance video that captured the robbery Monday night at a Citgo station at 103rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, across the street from Gately Stadium.

The sergeant swings around at the fleeing robbers, then points the gun down as the gunman struggles to get up. The video shows the sergeant kicking away the robber's gun and then opening the passenger door of his own car, apparently to get his phone.

permanent under-class position so they can shower freebies, welfare, goodies, obama phones...you name it...on them in order to buy their vote

Actually, not a bad deal for the handout crowd: get those many freebies and all that's expected of them in return is to vote RAT. Not a bad deal at all.

Not so fast. The only factor that counts here is the race/race situation. White cop black dirtbag means guilty cop. You get the point. Let’s wait until the Grand Black Wizard Jesse Jackson checks in.

Ron White explained the way around this. Just keep shooting em in the back—eventually they will get curious, and turn around.

Actually, it is an incredibly bad deal for them.

No ambition.
No drive.
No self respect.
No independence.

...and coupled with the “feree” government education they are given:

No chance to know any better and climb out.

At least not for the vast, vast majority.

And ultimately...it all comes apart when enough people and their succeeding generations get on it and the money they take from the hard woking people runs out.

At that time, they become e cannon ofdder for the power mongers controlling their lives and it leads to their genocide by such tyrants.

I thought that guns were not useful for self defense. Who knew?
