...with the accomplice shouting, "shoot the muther fucker"!

And I considered Glenmore Ave. a resonably safe, quiet part of the West Side.

And I'm shocked at how this happened when it's clearly illegal to carry a handgun in the city limits. Don't thieves know it's against the law?

Luckilly, most criminals are dumb as rocks; my coworker's credit card showed up being used at the same gas station several times the same night. Can you say video tape? I knew you could.

I'm actually a rather non-violent person, but when I hear a story like this, especially so close to home, I can't help but wish great harm be inflicted on the perpetrator. I know violence beget's violence, but I feel like the punk who thinks it's o.k. to act this way should be begat in the face.

Blame social ills? Nope, sorry, I lose sympathy when physical violence enters the picture. I know plenty of people who grew up in lousy (as in poor, dirty, sad) environments who still never took to shoving a pistol in someone's gut. Why? Because their parents taught them displaying respect, honor, courage and loyalty are the sign of a true man/woman.

Oh, it's only the West Side, it's over there? Guess what, this is a decent area it happened in. Wait long enough and it'll be your front porch.

I'm Pissed,

Phreon.

after reading this thread, i'm supporting the gunman. begatting him in the face would fall outside of procedure.
