Garbage Man Takes Out Trash A Two-Fer!
Second City Cop ^ | 1 Feb 2025 | Second City Cop

While the victim was not injured, the two robbers were not so fortunate. One of them, a 42-year-old man, collapsed about 20 feet from the school’s front entrance. He was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head.

We really need to sponsor or inspire someone to give CCL holders who successfully defend themselves or others a free box of ammo after incidents like these. Obviously, this guy has done his range time, but who doesn't like to have another fifty shots free of charge?

In the early years, in addition to giving a free replacement vest to an officer shot while wearing one, Second Chance would give the officer a free .44 Magnum if he had killed his attacker.

After accusations that would constitute an unlawful bounty, Richard Davis stopped the free gun offer but continued to give a free vest.

I wish blog writers would learn to write. Who what when and where. And then if you want to ramble about other stuff fine but get the pertinent facts down first.

From the link embedded in the article

The other robber, 20, was taken to Mt. Sinai in critical condition with a gunshot wound to his neck.

I wish FR readers would learn to read before commenting.

And the people in hell want ice water.

Also always keep your Inspector Clouseau magnifying glass clean.

Sometimes you have to dig down four paragraphs to find out the essence of a story.

That’s bad writing when that happens. It’s not the readers’ fault when they are subjected to awfully drafted content. I usually just move on but my comment is valid.

A good editor is worth his/ her weight in gold.
There’s alot of illiterate cheapskate media out there.

Agreed!

This reads like a third grader wrote it.

Then it qualifies as clickbait.

embedded?? I don't want them embedded. I want it straight. Don't they know my body has HD? I riddled with it. In fact my doctor says I have 80 of them. And it affects my reading comprehension.

Yep, all of them are. The headlines say something and the story is buried four paragraphs down rather than putting it in the first sentence or paragraph and then have the story amplified further down.

I won’t watch you tube videos that do that.

If I suspect it, and you can tell within the first few seconds, I check the comments and often find people complaining that it didn’t even address what the title suggested or mentioned nearly at the end after a bunch of inane rambling.

I’m always concerned about looking at a mirror and seeing text and photon particles in my eyes.

I have heard that some very expensive eyewash might help, but it is not covered by Medicare.

They made it sound like 80HD is common nowadays. Which is disturbing.

A garbage collector shot two armed robbers, killing one, outside a Chicago elementary school...

Interesting. More info needed.
