Showing Original Post only (View all)Chicago would-be robber dies after woman stands her ground and shoots him [View all]
A Chicago teenager died days after he and a group attempted to rob an armed 32-year-old woman on the city's South Side.
The incident occurred July 29 in the Woodlawn area around 8:00 p.m., according to a report.
At least four males attempted to break into the woman's parked car when she confronted the would-be robbers
One of the males whipped out a weapon and pointed it at the woman, the report noted.

For me, this isn't about a good citizen with a gun story, my question is:
What the fuck is a 13 year old kid doing running around committing armed robbery?
This is a perfect example of the easy availability of firearms.

The rest of her life might have been measured in minutes with a violent rape.

Seems it was the thieves who cared more about material possessions than human life

I am sure she appreciates your deciding she did not have a right to defend herself.

Very true, some of the scariest people in Africa were the child soldiers in rebel groups

A gun in the hand of a 13 year old is just as deadly as in the hand of a 31 year old.

There was an 11 year old involved in a carjacking earlier this summer in Chicago.
