1. No one came to the victim's assistance during the attack, videoing instead.
2. The victim will no doubt be charged in this Chicago incident.

Good for him. Now how would having his name and all the guns he owns in a national registry have prevented him from doing that?

Good-


Perhaps they will learn from the experience, but probably not. Oddly, he will probably be charged and the thugs will get off scott free, as it is illegal to carry a handgun in Chicago.


I always carry a handgun in Chicago for this very reason. Keep in mind that Michigan avenue is the equivalent of 7th avenue in New York. However, gangs of thugs target people in this area as they assume they will be carrying money. It is really surprising how many times these attacks happen.

Ummmm.................. it's illegal to carry a handgun in Chicago. It is a "gun free zone". That's how the liberal laws harm honest, law abiding citizens.


That is the problem with many of these liberal towns- the criminals have weapons and the law abiding citizens are defenseless.

LMAO! The women inside only start yelling “NO! NO! NO!” after the white guy defends himself. Before then, everything was okay.

Despicable northern city.

I also wondered why no one tried to help him, down here 10 country boys would have been right there with him. We don’t put up with that kind of hooliganism around here. The fact that this man will likely end up with a criminal record for having that gun is sickening. No doubt the Chicago prosecutor will not give him a break like Smollett got, after all he is a white gun owner. He cheated those thugs out of making him their victim, how dare he.

First thing that came to my mind, too. I don't blame anyone else for not wanting to get involved, but it's disturbing that there wasn't even one iota of concern being expressed for the man being attacked.


Also, I thought Chicago has to issue concealed carry permits now? Hasn't that been the case for a few years?
