No Shit

  • Otis McDonald — the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit that overturned Chicago’s gun ban — would have been delighted that many of his neighbors now have permits to carry concealed weapons, according to his fellow gun advocates.

    McDonald, who died of an illness last year at 80, was an African-American resident of Morgan Park on the Southwest Side. The onetime robbery victim was a vocal advocate of allowing law-abiding citizens to carry hidden weapons to protect themselves against criminals.

    It appears many of his neighbors —and many other Chicago residents in safe and high-crime neighborhoods alike — agree with him.
So, essentially, people in high crime neighborhoods who want to protect themselves, get guns to keep safe, and the get guns by a legal and lawful process set up by the state.

And people who know that guns keep neighborhoods safe and want their neighborhoods to remain "low-crime", get guns in order to be part of the process that keeps the neighborhood safe.

This is an article about pretty much nothing.

There are many that will argue the guns, even legal guns, make neighborhoods more dangerous. Guns are the problem, not the answer to the problem. In itself a gun is inherently evil.

SCC, This may be an article about common sense and nothing unusual to you, but to your liberal neighbors it will be absolutely mind blowing!

Blood is not flowing in the streets!
It's NOT Dodge City!
People are not being murdered in job lots!

It is just...
Good people with guns!

OH NO!!!
Blacks with guns!?
That's something the Good Loyal Democrat Dixie-crats and the Democrat Klan never allowed. US Senator and former Grand Dragon Robert Byrd is spinning in his grave. Democrat President Woodrow Wilson, the Man Who Segregated Washington DC is weeping. And the North Shore "Smart Set" are aghast. Lawful Black Citizens with GUNS! Next thing you know, they'll expect the Chicago Schools to actually teach their children too!

I like the ex CNN broad reporter and her husband who got into a shootout at a cheap motel, for whatever reason, I guess a hotel is too conservative. Both these liberals have CCWs. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. Spouting lies on CNN about guns and gun control, both parking heat.

Local news radio is digging into some obviously-just-released CCW stats based on zip code. Attempt to dig out discrimination/racism.

One zip they picked, NW side, was largely white area. The next was on southwest side where "residents are 55% black and 22% Hispanic."

That was about it. Tripped over own d__k and just kind of left the "story" standing there naked at the bus stop trying to cover its privates.

Doesn't matter if it's read in the usual high-speed, drive-time, authoritarian voice. Nothing there.

Funny.

Don't you silly people know that guns kill people and we must destroy all of them. Then we will have utopia and the government will take care of all of us.

If he is a victim or a witness, why does he need an attorney present???
Oh yeah, that's in case the detectives ask him any questions that challenge his "I heard a shot, my son felt pain" bullshit.

Otis McDonald is a hero. He knew many saves would be saved by upholding the constitution. We need more like him to speak up.

More like that naked ass was set upon by a cloud of Yellow Jackets.

No audio... Just a naked ass running, swatting, flailing and falling.

You know... Draw your own conclusions since this is counter productive
to the agenda upon further review.

It's a come-on. It is a one-time, one-year discount, supposedly funded by private donors. After a year, you'd be hooked into the regular $75.00/year cost, although with various "payment plans." They work this. Gabe Klein goes from city to city getting himself appointed "Director of Transportation," and then an Alison Cohen follows him with these bikes to sell.

Of course, the city will manage to spend some tax money messing around with it.

I am getting up there in years, and I still put in thousands of miles a year, carry loads you can't imagine sometimes (the equipped bike weighs at least 90 pounds going out the door for a "long-range, all-day patrol," tools, food and water, lights, rain gear, etc. and I add another 200 to the total rolling weight when I get on. Then there's anything I might come back home with. I have run it up onto a platform scale just for grins, when I had a lot of cargo, and hit 350 pounds rolling weight.

...and I don't "totter."

Probably a lot of these rent-a-bikes have already simply been stolen, used some, and just wrecked and abandoned. It's like that when you didn't work for something. Who cares. Don't put air in the tires, ride around like crazy smashing the rims over curbs, and then just drop it where it is and walk away when the wheel pretzels.

They let absolutely anything drive a car these days.

...let alone trucks. Remember the illegal who Gov. Ryan sold a CDL to, who ended up wiping out a van load of eight innocent kids, burned to death when the van hit the s__t that was falling off his rig, and he couldn't understand anyone who was trying to warn him?

This is the one that's going to kill you, not someone on a bicycle.

There should be a statue/memorial erected telling the story of Otis McDonald. Thanks, Otis! And everyone else, especially SCC for getting us there, finally. It's been a long, long road. Too long.
