Eric D. Posted May 28, 2017 at 01:43 AM Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 01:43 AM The victim, a valid CCL, is being questioned, and hopefully will be released w/out any charges. But it is Oak Park... http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/oak-park/news/ct-oak-teen-shooting-death-tl-0527-20170527-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted May 28, 2017 at 02:49 AM Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 02:49 AM I'm sure Don Harmon shed a tear that a young boy who was already a victim of social and economic injustice suffered the ultimate injustice - being gunned down by a member of the privileged class.

Eric D. Posted May 28, 2017 at 03:20 AM Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 03:20 AM "Emergency call to action." That's funny. The first thing I learned about emergency response is that dead people aren't an emergency. There's not much more you can do for them. I'm pretty sure this call to action isn't going to be about dealing with the criminals, it's going to blame the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0untZer0 Posted May 28, 2017 at 06:25 AM Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 06:25 AM Oh my gosh: Teenager shot dead in alleged robbery attempt Alleged ? Michael Romain is a pud. The robber jumped in a getaway car - its so obvious. "police are investigating how the teen got to Stroger Hospital." Ya - his homey rolled him out of the passenger side door at the Stroger Hospital gang-banger drop-off. Doesn't seem like there is much alleged there, the kid was a punk who tired to rob someone. Oak Park activist Anthony Clark announced plans to hold an "emergency call to action" on Sunday, 3 p.m., at the parking lot (on the corner of Madison and Humphrey in Oak Park) that is next to U.S. Bank. See what hypocrites these wild-eyed Oak Park liberals are? Oak Park residents get mugged - no big dealOak Park residents are carjacked - no big deal Underprivileged youth gets shot OMG !

C0untZer0 Posted May 28, 2017 at 03:14 PM Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 03:14 PM I know I don't know the whole story, but my own opinion is that its the power of the liberal media using words to slant the story. I wouldn't blame the CCL holder for trying to get the heck out of there - I've said in other posts "Oak Park is a Dangerous Place", but especially after being ambushed and shooting it out with a robber - I don't blame him for trying to get the heck away from there. But I think that a CCL holder would call the police to report the crime after they got to safety. The robber fled in a waiting getaway car and his carcass was dumped at Stroeger by his accomplice. It also may be a police officer trying to bolster himself and get some credit for doing something even though nothing was really necessary. If the CCL was fleeing to a safer place and an off-duty police officer shows up - the CCL is now safe even though the police office might have thought that he was "detaining" the CCL holder. Hypothetically - if this were any place other than ultra-liberal suburb, Illinois, the police would size it up pretty quickly, call it a self-defense shooting and move on. I am hoping that they don't launch a witch hunt going after this CCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadyRunner Posted May 28, 2017 at 04:05 PM Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 04:05 PM According to SCC: SCC,You aren't going to belive this, or maybe you will. This 16-year-old armed robber was saved by Officers on the west side not even two years ago using a tourniquet to stop him from bleeding out. To think, he had two whole years to "turn his life around" and maybe become an altar boy or something.Oh, and his accomplices took him home and dumped him on his own front lawn to die. Couldn't even abandon him at a hospital. What a great childhood.We're just shaking our damn head.http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/2017/05/concealed-carrier-defends-self.htmlSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted May 28, 2017 at 04:26 PM Share Posted May 28, 2017 at 04:26 PM The Trib says the police are investigating how the carcass got to the hospital, SSC says the accomplice(s) dumped the robber where he lived. That's a great setup isn't it? You go with your posse to rob someone and if you get shot, instead of giving you emergency first aid treatment and rushing you to the hospital, they drive you all the way back to where you live, dump your unconscious body and take off. Then you bleed out during the time it takes for the paramedics to arrive after the time it takes for someone to notice you lying on the ground bleeding and actually call 911.
