“””The victim, Michael Manning, a lifelong Chicagoan,”””
Is the victim also a lifelong DEMOCRAT VOTER?

The one you should carry with you when riding public transit in a city? Just remember to make sure it’s charged up.

Shoulda listened to Scott Adams. He was on the train first and the feral apes approached HIM.

With so many crowding him and the blitz attack would he have been able to use on?
Not that I would be against that at all. Maybe a better protection is act guano crazy enough that “teens” would never think to approach you. Rant insane delusions like “Biden is fine. There’s nothing wrong with him!”
I am semi-serious. People just naturally want nothing to do with the unbalanced. They worry the person could turn dangerous any moment. That can be used to an advantage in certain landscapes.

How could he know whether he would not end up killing or injuring an innocent bystander?

He very well could have and it was edited out. He also might have felt it was not necessary to state the obvious.

“I stood up, and I’m 6’4”, and I guess that was not a good move...”
It might have been a good move. It sounds as if he was able to run through ‘a gauntlet of fists’ and somehow escape the ‘teens’ to tell the tale. Had they got him down on the floor, the stomping would have begun.

NYC put Bernhard Goetz in jail for defending himself. Think it would be any different in Chicago?

Paging Mr. Goetz. Mr. Goetz, please pick up the red telephone.

The teens pursued him out of the train at a station that he exited. This was an aggressive pursuit.

“They left him bloodied on the platform, stealing only a few of his belongings before jumping back on the train.”
So, this was elevated to aggravated robbery.

Concealed carry is now legal in Chicago. Just sayin. I can state with almost 100% certainty that firearms are strictly forbidden on any public transportation conveyance. They are even forbidden on public transit here in Texas, much more so in Cshitcago.
If he had used a firearm, even displaying it, HE would be the one in prison for a long time.

"Did you VOTE for DEMOCRATS, Michael?" That would be my first question to him. And by his looks I'd say, yes.
