80-year-old Chicago man kills intruder, may face charges
Baron Daley II (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
The Supreme Court is currently hearing McDonald v. Chicago, which could repeal Chicago’s longstanding handgun ban. But justice may come too late for an elderly Korean War vet who was simply defending his 83-year-old wife and 12-year-old grandson.

Your usual meticulous research and solid logic, Howard. Thanks for keeping people informed.
This is just SICK. We are being ruled by a bunch of sociopaths. Mayor Daley should himself be in jail for advocating IN FAVOR of ARMED CRIMINALS and AGAINST Law abiding citizens IN THEIR OWN HOME.
What in the world is WRONG with you people in Chicago electing this scunbag over and over ??? It has gotten beyond the pale in America.
Stand up and Take back the Country for God's Sake!
This is absolutely sick and on many levels. Not only are those in power doing everything they can to destroy freedom and liberty, we the people are doing next to nothing to stop them. In fact, we keep electing them over and over again. Our founding fathers knew from experience that men are corrupted. That is why they gave us the best form of Government ever devised, of the people, by the people and for the people. They just didn't expect we the people to turn into cowards!
This should never be prosecuted. If it is, the jury should nullify the charge and free the homeowner. If neither of those things happen this case should be appealed to the highest court necessary to remove this obscene blight on justice. If for no other reason than to figureatively send a bayonetted rifle right back at Hizzoner da Mare. BOHICA Little Dick, aka the right honorable Richard Daley Jr.
Where is the NRA to defend this man? Where are all of these so-called gun rights organizations? Is there a fund raiser where every gun owner could contribute one dollar and with eighty million gun owner this could be a big defense fund? The cops don't have to find anything and the mother is as delusional as the mayor. Her son was a repeat offender, a burden on society, and a killer in the making. He was also an apparent BS artist.
Daley should be prosecuted for denying citizens their Second Amendment right as well as their right to self-defense. I hope the NRA or other gun organizations offer to help this 83 year old gentleman pro bono! Daley needs to live in Great Britain for six months where people are prosecuted for self-defense. He'd be "right at home" over there! Too many liberal anti-gunners in Chicago I guess,since Daley gets re-elected over and over. If it weren't for the good law abiding gun owners I'd say keep him in office; the liberals deserve this reprobate!
In a way this like the Border situation. The Government WILL NOT stop their rush for AMNESTY at all costs. And So a rancher recently gets muerdered "on his own property". And here a homeowner is robbed first (thankfully not killed) and in being robbed is being Terrorized. Then defends himself, and is in danger of prosecution.
After the ranchers murder, the Obama Admin sends 1,200 Nat'l Guard to do what? SIT AT DESKS for God's sake!!
This country is getting close to a breaking point!
The Governments agenda is this:
AMNESTY at all costs to the American People.
Anti-Gun (Anti-2nd amendment) at all costs to the Citizens of Chicago and Illinois. And extended to the WHOLE Country if they can via the recent UN antiGun Bill.
Its just wrong to even think about prosecuting this guy. Especially since the punk that broke in had a gun. The right to defend your home and family should never be questioned. The thug got what he deserved and he sure won't be robbing anyone else when he gets out on parole next time.
Every home needs a gun for defense. Its wrong to ban the tools people need to defend them selves against trash like this.
I love how the mother or grandmother always paints such a nice picture of the kid. Such a good boy. If he had not made the decision to break into the house and attack the homeowner he would probably still be alive today. Truth is, he was a street thug that picked the wrong victim.
Amen
No charges questioned and returned home
If they charge this man for protecting his famliy and him-self after his home was broking into, Then he was shot at. Then The State Attorny General Needs to Charge all persons that have called for Gun Control whih Treason and Terroristic Act's toward the Americian People. For Violation of the BILL OF RIGHTS.
Howard, you mention ..."the video shows only black residents"...
That's because the neighborhood where the shooting took place, is an all-black neighborhood.
Everyone here has it right !
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Not when the Chicago mayor or ANY politician tells us WHEN, WHERE and HOW we can ensure and enjoy our : Life, Liberty and our Pursuits !!
To back up his stance on gun control Daley should be deprived of his personal protection force.
We must not reelect this Scum Bag.
The DA should fail to prosecute this veteran who simply defended himself just like he did his country and constitution. If he had any guts he would not prosecute. My father was 82nd Airborne Korea and turns 80 this week. I can't wait for his reaction to this story.
Nobody enforces treason, that is why they perform it right in front of your eyes...with gusto.
Enforce the laws against treason, you know, violating your oath...should equal death, a few comrades swinging from lamp posts ought to put a stop to it.
Where did our socalled citizen President come from? Chicago. All the anti-gun idoits from the pres. on down should get their heads out of their butts and be sent to England. (With no guns for protection)(Obama, Pelosi,Reed Etc.)They need to look at Mexicos laws and make some of ours like theirs. A lot of our crime would stop. You should be fined if you don't have a handgun. This would stop a lot of crime. Amen to the man that shot the intruder. Look at how much money he saved the courts.
Maybe we should get rid of all the security the elected officals have. Let's see how they feel about guns then.
Indeed, the inmates are running the asylum!
Robert said "Where is the NRA to defend this man? Where are all of these so-called gun rights organizations? Is there a fund raiser where every gun owner could contribute one dollar and with eighty million gun owner this could be a big defense fund?
I say that these 80 million gun owners should go to Chicago and donate some muscle to physically clean out the corrupt government there. Then it's off to Washington, NY, LA...
I found this on a site that reports on interracial crime. In the politically correct world we live in today. We dont even get a description of the suspect usually. Making him harder to find. This site is not P.C. http://tinyurl.com/c95t53
I use to think that the site was racist. But, to be honest its the only place to read about what really happened and who did it. Its opened my eyes. In the ever more violent world we live in today. I think that truth and awareness is better than peoples feelings.
Any city offials who would arrest and charge a man for using a gun in self defense deserve to be run right out of town becuase all gun control laws are unconstitutional and should all be overturned and that includes the BRADY LAW and the GUN CONTROL ACT of 1968 and we need to get ourselves out of the UNITED NATIONS and boot the UN out of america and boot out IANSA as well and remove BLACK PANTHER politician BOBBY RUSH from office
