OT-Prosecute the victim
(An 80-year-old man can be prosecuted for using a handgun for self-defense,
but a repeat offender serves maybe a year of a 3-year sentence. In Daley's world, this is justice.) 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. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that this man had been robbed at home "a couple of months ago" by "three intruders." Afterwards, he "bought a gun and vowed never to be a victim again." Around 5:00 this morning, 30-something Anthony Nelson broke into the home by breaking out a back window that leads to the elderly couple's unit. There was a confrontation between the home invader and the homeowner, and the invader shot at the elderly man with his revolver. The homeowner shot back with his handgun, killing the attacker. http://www.examiner.com/x-2879-Austi...y-face-charges In the mean time. At least 22 people were wounded in separate shootings around the city roughly between noon Saturday and noon Sunday, including a man who died this morning after he was shot in the head, Chicago police said. One of the shootings was particularly disturbing because one of the female victims was eight months pregnant. No one in custody for any of the incidents. http://beforeitsnews.com/news/52/110..._1 _dead.html Best Regards Tom. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

It does not look like that homeowner was charged with anything. I hope
that the Supreme court will rule in favor of the Constitution. i On 2010-06-01, Azotic wrote: (An 80-year-old man can be prosecuted for using a handgun for self-defense, but a repeat offender serves maybe a year of a 3-year sentence.

I hope that the Supreme court will rule in favor of the Constitution. i FWIW, the question before the Supreme Court in the McDonald case is not about constitutional rights. That was already decided, in Heller. The question is about how the 14th Amendment applies to the case. And that question is not about the Constitution; it's about which way the wind is blowing on the Supreme Court itself. -- Ed Huntress |

Why the hell was he still on the street? http://fwd4.me/REn Kudos to the 80y/o shooter. Rest with no peace in Hell, Nelson. (Hopefully, you'll be joining him there soon, Daley. May your city riot if you pursue the 80y/o shooter for defending himself.) In the mean time.

Daley's handgun ban sure works, doesn't it? It protects innocent victims by getting them off the streets, and into prison. -- A well-informed mind is the best security against the contagion of folly and of vice. The vacant mind is ever on the watch for relief, and ready to plunge into error, to escape from the languor of idleness. -- Ann Radcliffe |

I do not live there and never would. However, my neighbors just across the street from me were burgarized by a similar looking fellow, just 2 weeks ago. So, I like having a mini arsenal. i |
