Too bad he didn’t draw a fire arm and ventilate a few of them after he got off the train.


He would have been charged with murder; though fists CAN be considered deadly weapons in certain people, fists vs guns surely would not be considered equal and defensible in Chicongo.

Yes, too bad.

I'm sure he would thrive in prison until he died of old age.

You live in Chicago, it doesn’t matter how you vote, they can count your ballot differently.

= NO MARRIED AND COMMITTED PARENTS.

Thomas Sowell says that up until the late 50s black families were proportionately more married and committed than white families. Involved and competent fathers teach sons to control themselves and daughters to value themselves. The US needs another Great Awakening.

Buahahahahahaha!

Then maybe he should have drawn a broad sword and laid into these cowans and thugs?

Just lay down and die. That's the spirit!


This is the photo of what happened to him: it is grievous bodily harm, and it warrants deadly force in self defence with a dozen beating on one? You bet:

Is the victim also a lifelong DEMOCRAT VOTER?

This is Chicago. Probably a DEMOCRAT VOTER, lifelong and years beyond.

Keep voting for pro-crime Democrats

I've lived in Chicago for 33 years, minus a few years in Houston.

There's never been a free and fair election here that entire time.

Public employees coerced into making donations and doing campaign work on the clock, ballot stuffing, "walking around money" to pay for votes, huge payoffs to black preachers, etc., etc. There isn't a single aspect of corrupt elections that doesn't feature in Chicago.

I think he was alone in the car when the gang boarded. He would have hit no bystander.

Societies do not recover to their former states after such decay. The path of ra;id decadence is irreversible without a dictator. DAMNED IF YOU DO, DAMNED IF YOU DON’T.

Just lay(sic) down and die!

That is the legal requirement in places like Chicago.

Thanks. I did not realize that. I strongly believe that self defense is a human right. By whatever means necessary.
