Different values in Chicago

Posted by David Hardy · 10 April 2019 10:24 PM

Redstate report reports an incident, where an armed civilian stopped two guys beating an older man while people recorded it on their cell phones:

"Two things we can take from this...

For one, a good guy with a gun absolutely does see to it that violence is stopped....

The second, however, is that though the firearm stopped the fight, it would appear that this is where people decided the situation was disagreeable. This is a problem. If the man was aided against the two men then perhaps the gun wouldn't have had to come out. Sadly, no one did. He was forced to rely on the firearm.

Society seems to have less of a problem watching someone get beaten up than watching the would-be victim defend himself with the best means possible."

Clearly a security guard. Open carry, radio, badge.

Doesn't change that this was a good outcome.

Of course there is different values, they have been raised that there are no consequences for their actions. They can do anything and nobody will say no to them, think some current representatives.
When there is the possibility of there being a consequence they are horrified because they were told no problem all there lives.
In NYC they had 600 schools which is where they sent "students" that were disruptive and prevented others from learning. Do they do that anymore - I doubt it.
