Nice Train Rahm

  • Two men were hospitalized after an argument turned bloody early Saturday on the Red Line heading south from the Loop, Chicago police said.

    The confrontation between the men turned physical as the 24-year-old pulled out a gun and shot the 38-year-old in the stomach around 12:15 a.m. as the train sped toward the CTA’s Cermak-Chinatown station, police said.

    In return, police said, the 38-year-old grabbed the gun from the younger man who just shot him and began beating him with it.

    As other passengers fled from the train car as it pulled into the platform in the 100 block of West Cermak Road, police officers found the two men — one shot, the other battered — still in the Red Line car.
Still no word on how someone snuck a gun onto the CTA in violation of all those signs Rahm ordered to be put up. You'd think it was damn near impossible to be armed on a Chicago train nowadays.

This has to be FAKE NEWS... all those signs, the LAWS against carrying concealed weapons on mass transit, and then the ultra-trustworthy and beyond reproach politicians who have told us that it's all safe and there's no need for law-abiding citizens to be armed...

Ohhh, and the cameras - those ultra-high resolution can see a zit on an ant's ass cameras that record everything and keep all the ....

oh never mind.... LOL....

I think the department should hire the guy that got shot in the stomach! He can teach 'Use of Force' at the police academy. Not only did he show resilience, but also extreme restraint as he could have technically used deadly force in this situation. Instead he just gave his fellow brigand a good ol' fashioned pistol whipping.

Well the problem is any CPS graduate cannot read the signs. That's the graduates, and we all know the community dropout rate is over 50% so why even post signs post signs, get a looped recording at each station, maybe then they will obey the law. Shame on me, for a minute I thought the community might be civil sorry my bad. Silly me, just gun up when your on and Chicago public transportation, the life you save will be yours.

So how are those gun free zones working out. Also just how safe are the safe passage routes. That's what I thought. Democratic feel good words and gestures with no results. Just like a Democrat saying I won't raise your taxes until he gets elected and then raises taxes. What the Democratic Promises mean is I won't do it today BUT tomorrow is a different day and I will do as I damn well please. Chump.

The signs are only for people with concealed carry licences. If you do not have a concealed carry license, you don't have to obey the sign. Don't believe me? Read the ordinance cited on the sign...

    Sec. 65. Prohibited areas.

Exactly, the reporters fill in the narrative when they have little information of incident, an argument could easily have been an armed robbery and the victim resisted...

Next week we’ll get the hi-def image from the CTA in the form of a black and white flyer.
Can’t wait, I’m itching to put a case on someone.
In fact I’ve already filled out dozens and post-dated my ISR’s.

Dopey taxpayers that elected Rahm, who appointed 21st Century Crime Strategist Lo Energy Special Ed, probably still don’t know that lame soy cuck Rahm, the non-MBA financial wizard had recently (Oct) approved a down payment of $5 million to the Failing CTA ($33 mil 2019 budget shortfall) to continue “improvements to transit with more committed over the next 5 years.

At least the CPS is safe and in good shape.

Why pop a cap when you can turn your assailant into your bitch? Though the gun probably did quit working, on account of nobody using it for further mischief in the aftermath.

To all the CPD reading this. This how you handle a Gun pointed at you. You are to let them shoot first time, hopefully hits your vest, then you wrestle the gun away and subdue the assailant. See how easy that was.

Don’t think this could be true because everyone knows it’s against the law to carry a gun on a CTA train. Licensed CCW can’t even do that. All public transportation in Illinois is a gun free zone. Doesn’t everyone feel safer now knowing guns are banned on CTA trains?
