    Don’t mess with the general! Lol


    How about shooting the robber 10 times?
    Are you a vigilante after the second bullet?

    An employee at a Family Dollar in Arizona was arrested for shooting a shoplifter who slugged him in the face when the worker asked him to leave, reports said.

    That’s not being a vigilante. That’s being a murderer.
    From the article
    “He allegedly shot the suspect 10 times and continued to unleash bullets even as the man was on the floor, FOX 10 Phoenix reported.

    There have now been 121 murders in Chicago this year…..

    Out of those 121 murders… only been 3 white people killed.

    In a city of 2.7 million people…. A total of 3 white people have been murdered in 2023 and it is suspect that the two white women murdered (in an apartment robbery) were not the targets, but they hit the wrong apartment.

    I won’t break down all the stats… but I will say that 1 Asian has been murdered in 2023… 1 Indian American.

    The other 116 people murdered? All black or Hispanic.

    The surprises? A lot of women killed were murdered by knives.

    A lot of the women murdered were Hispanic, and in predominantly black neighborhoods or in two Hispanic neighborhoods (one Mexican/one Puerto Rican).

    The vast majority of those murdered are black, and about 80% male. The times of death were usually at 2-3 pm , sometime between 10:30 pm and 6 am on weekends.

    So, if you are a white person… especially a white male, the chances of you being murdered in Chicago is just about zero.

    If you are black and live in one of 5-6 neighborhoods… good luck.

    I brought this up regarding the Defund the Police movement in Minneapolis. The biggest resistance towards it wasn’t from predominately white communities but from the most African American communities in Minneapolis.

    That’s because the majority of the crime happens in the hood
    Everybody knows this except the dumb woke people
    Now crime has corrupted entire cities and the citizens have had enough

    shooting a robber one time means self defense
    Shooting them 10 times means they’ve had enough

    He is a murderer.
    Honestly the only time a citizen shoot another citizen is if their life or their loved ones life is in danger.

    If they stole the truck and was driving away
    Let the cops do what they are paid to do
    Shoplifting. Any property is not worth murdering
    Anyone.

    You know people in Texas love their trucks
    People work hard to get their house or truck

    What they should do is increase the penalty for auto theft
    I would like to see like 10 years for first offense and 25 years for a second
    That would dramatically decrease auto theft
    No bail either

    Cops do literally nothing for property crime. A vehicle is someone's livelihood.

    Yeah there is a LOT to unpack with the numbers in Chicago. First, drawing from the numbers it is fair to conclude that if you are white (especially a white male), you are incredibly insulated in Chicago and you live an entirely different existence than blacks and Hispanics in the city. This is also an indication of just how extremely segregated the city is and has been for over 120 years…. It is also institutionally segregated and many not obvious barriers are put up to make sure that there is a division.

    As far as black people in Chicago and the police department, it is a very very complicated issue. The Chicago Police Department is very corrupt and many things are covered up by the mayor and government because they know they cannot control the city without the PD. I currently have two 1983 lawsuits against the City of Chicago and the Chicago Police Department based on the killing of a black man and another for the killing of a Hispanic man.

    At the end of the day, the power and money is with the white and wealthy establishment in Chicago and as long as they keep those people safe, everyone will over look black men killing black men and cops killing minorities.

    It’s crossing the line … it’s actually not crossing the line, it’s running over the line and ******** all over it.

    Two wrongs don’t make a right. It’s murder.

    But understand his actions
    If a criminal robs somebody
    Don’t expect the victim to be in a some calm state
    There’s been a big uptick for citizens fighting back

    I haven’t seen enough of the details of the case but if it is he tracked the thief down and then killed him without any sort of threat from the thief yes that would be murder.

    I understand LEO don’t do much regarding auto theft but when presented with direct evidence leading to the thief they will act. In the article I saw about this case Apple said they will turn over information from air pods to authorities.

    Not being calm isn’t a justification for murder.

    Yes you should absolutely defend yourself when your life is in danger. Tracking down someone who took your truck and killing them in cold blood isn’t that.
