Firefighter who shot violent car jacker about to be attacked by SJW campaign...

[sparky]

Here we have a story of a Chicago Firefighter who had his car carjacked, and was about to be run over by the attacker, when he drew his concealed carry gun and shot the criminal...

He was cleared of any wrong doing, it was determined to be a justified shooting...and now the left wing is about to destroy him....

A lieutenant in the Chicago Fire Department may find out. The fireman committed the grave sin of defending himself and his property from an aggressor. Now he is the target of a social media campaign to ex post facto punish him for having the audacity to protect what is rightfully his.

Last summer, the unidentified firefighter left his Jeep idling on the West Side of the city (admittedly, not a bright thing to do anywhere in Chicago) when it was carjacked by 17-year-old Charles Macklin. The lieutenant, who is Hispanic, attempted to stop Macklin, a black teen, from taking his vehicle by jumping in front and yelling, "Get out." Macklin refused. According to the police report, Macklin then "tried to run [the firefighter] over," at which point the threatened lieutenant pulled his concealed handgun and shot the teenager in the chest, killing him.

After investigating the lieutenant's actions, the Chicago Fire Department found no rule violation or wrongdoing.

That wasn't enough justice for Macklin's sister, Janique. In a glowing profile that reads more like a KCNA summary of Kim Jong-un's latest trip abroad than a real news account, the Chicago Tribune provided a platform for Janique's feeling of unfairness. "When has it ever become legal to shoot someone because they're pulling off in your car?" she asks, either unaware that her brother tried to run down the owner of the car he was jacking or dismissing the official police report entirely.

Then comes the most revealing quote: "Even if [Macklin] did that, if he did steal the car. You've got insurance – let him go to jail. I would've rather had to get a call to go bail him out of jail than to get a phone call that he's dead."

This is an abhorrent mix of demanded obeisance, willful duplicity, and wishful thinking. Macklin wasn't just stealing the car; he made an attempt on the owner's life. And why is it assumed that Macklin will only go on a joyride? Why does she conjecture that the worst thing that will happen is her numbskull brother will go to jail? What if Macklin had used the vehicle to commit another theft or, worse, a murder?

-------

So when Janique Macklin says something akin to "Yeah, my brother shouldn't have stolen the Jeep, but he shouldn't have been shot dead for it," we should trace the fatal consequence back to its provenance: a choice.

The guy leaves his bait car open and running AND he's packing?

I didn't know that hunting season was already open.

Was this at the scene of a call?

~S~

Stories of this kind will (sadly) NEVER stop.

I join other members in wishing that firefighter the best of luck.

Yes, he should not have parked his vehicle in that area.

Chicago is full of individuals who think: "I want something. So I will just take it."

Yes....you are an idiot...but you don't have to confirm it with every post....

The "kid" was a violent asshole who tried to murder the victim....but let's not let that get in the way of your stupidity...

Or he was a kid going for a joy ride in a car that some fool left the engine running on.

Frankly, if you have time to run out in front of your vehicle, pull a gun, aim and shoot, you have time to get out of the way.

A car rushing down the street after the driver has been fatally wounded is a danger to everyone else on that street.

But he did get to live your Gun Nut Dream of dun shootin' him a darkie, so there's that.

Wouldn't you like to live in a world where you can leave your keys in your car, or leave it running without some fucking animal trying to steal it?

Sounds great. Kid won't be trying to run over anyone else, eh?

I did, growing up. It's long gone because of people like JoeB.

Let me get this correct and you are blaming the Fireman for the kid choice of stealing the car and trying to run the Fireman over!?!

You are saying if the Fireman had not left his vehicle running then the kid would be still alive and so because Fireman left his automobile running and the kid stole the vehicle it is the Fireman fault, is that what you are conveying here!?!

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

No, he didn't..... better the fireman be run over than to use a gun to stop it...

Or he could have just jumped out of the way... there's that. You know, instead of endangering everyone else on that street.

Then again the parents could have raised their child to know stealing has consequences...

 

[iceberg]

Yup, shooting a kid for going on a joy ride... that's a great idea.

what do you drive? i'll send some "kids" over.

 

[BlackSand]

It took the same amount of time it would have taken the dead thief to get out of the vehicle ...

So you're calling the Hispanic guy a racist because he shot a black guy? LOL

In your world black people shouldn't ever be shot by someone OTHER than another black person...should they, Joey! And if the other black person is a cop...then that's not allowed either? Otherwise it's an infringement upon their civil rights?

 

[Oldstyle]

You'd jump out of the way and let someone drive away in your vehicle? You're a bit of a wuss, Joey...just saying...

 

[Skull Pilot]

He shot him because the piece of shit car thief tried to run him over you moron.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Yes we all know you would piss yourself and let any piece of shit criminal break into your home, or rob you before you would raise a finger to defend yourself or your family

 

[Skull Pilot]

I love how these idiots say "Oh he was such a nice kid"

Well good kids do not steal cars

 

[fncceo]

You'd be screaming if someone made fun of the holocaust.

Did a Jew steal your car? Or just repossess it because you didn't make the payment?

 

[Fang]

The firefighter had a right to fire his gun whether the kid was trying to run him over or not.

 

[Fang]

No, he didn't..... better the fireman be run over than to use a gun to stop it...

Or he could have just jumped out of the way... there's that. You know, instead of endangering everyone else on that street.

So it's incumbent upon the VICTIM to make sure everyone else is safe (including the the kid trying to kill him) while his car is being stolen and he's about to be killed? I'm not sure how to even debate that sort of fucked up mentality. smh
