It’s a good thing Chicago persecutes the law-abiding gun owner, even in the wake of Heller and McDonald, so conscientiously.
Otherwise, who knows how bad this episode might have gotten:
Moments before she was slain last week on Chicago’s Southwest Side, 17-year-old Charinez Jefferson begged the gunman not to shoot because she was pregnant, prosecutors said today.
Despite her plea, Timothy Jones, 18, opened fire on Jefferson anyway, yelling an expletive at her as he shot her in the head, prosecutors said. He then stood over her as she lay on the ground and fired several more times, striking her in the chest and back…
…
Jones had seen Jefferson walking with a rival gang member in the 3000 block of West 64th Street and approached them in a car, Dillon said. He got out of the vehicle and fired at least one shot at the rival, who ran off, leaving Jefferson to fend for herself. After begging Jones for mercy, Jefferson was shot at “point-blank range,” Dillon said.
While I opposed the death penalty, I can’t imagine the world being a whole lot worse if the alleged shooter, if found guilty, somehow ends up very very dead.
I can’t wait to see how the that commie Lisa Madigan, who wants all gun owners identified publicly, instructs prosecutors to handle this one! She’s another elected official that got her job because she’s related to another elected crook!
The poor man just hasn’t had enough community organizing. But yes Mitch, this is why I want to keep the death penalty as an option. Some people just need killing.
How could this possibly happen in Chicago? Is it not a gun-free city?
Mitch, you’ll win the lottery before you’ll ever come close to being put to death for a crime you did not commit.
Not having that particular discussion today, K-Rod.
He will have to be put in isolation in prison if he hopes to even see his trial. Guards tend to have a bad habit of forgetting to check on certain criminals cells during a certain period of time.
