Lets Talk Defensive Gun Use

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has called jails and police officers a “sickness” that needs to be “eradicated.”

He said, “Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities.”

If law enforcement is a “sickness,” then why does he have the largest protective detail any Chicago mayor has ever had, with around 150 police officers assigned to guard him 24/7?

For comparison, former Mayor Rahm Emanuel had just 22 officers on his security detail.

I challenge him to give up his security, then walk the streets of Chicago alone and ride the Red Line after 8 p.m. for a week.

How is he going to "work hard to protect people" if there isnt anyone to do it?

Chicago rapper Lil Mari was shot yesterday while trying to carjack a woman who happened to be a concealed carry holder.

"Police said a 34-year-old woman was approached by multiple suspects when gunfire broke out. The woman, who was armed, exchanged shots with the offenders."

The issue is not guns, but rather arrest and prosecution!

There is absolutely nothing in the local news about this, and if it weren’t for someone pointing it out to me, I might have missed it.

Could someone explain how this rapper and others can post pictures showing them committing felonies, yet they are never being arrested for firearm-related offenses?

I think every single gun in these images is illegal under Illinois law.

Perhaps it’s time for someone to take a closer look at the other individuals in the images, or do they all receive a free pass as well?

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm tired of hearing this is a gun problem and we need more laws. Let's enforce the ones we have and go after violent offenders.

Thieves used axes to smash the windows of a downtown Chicago Rolex store in broad daylight on Friday. According to store security, the robbers also fired shots during the incident.

This area is considered one of the nicest parts of Chicago and a popular shopping destination for tourists. Yet, business licenses in the district have declined by 50% over the past decade.

On Monday, in response to Trump saying he might deploy the National Guard, Mayor Brandon Johnson said the city’s leaders will “protect” the “humanity” of its residents: “No federal troops in the city of Chicago. We’re going to defend our democracy… protect the humanity of every single person…”

Translation: Everything’s fine. Nothing to see here 🙄

Johnson, how about letting CPD do their job and get this under control?

A lost DoorDash delivery driver "accidentally" drove onto the tarmac at Chicago O'Hare Airport. He drove around for 16 minutes until someone noticed his red car.

According to CBS News, "The driver managed to drive for miles along the interior and restricted roads, potentially crossing runways, before being spotted by air traffic control around noon near a United Airlines gate."

I mean, come on, it's a red car driving around the airport trying to deliver food.

Last week, it was a G***k on a plane.

The San Francisco PD took a different approach to an illegal sideshow and locked over 100 cars inside a private parking lot. Unfortunately, they let everyone go with a warning.

"The gates will open. Line your cars up. You're not going to be able to go anywhere. There'll be patrol cars on your right. There's going to be patrol cars on your left.

There are going to be spikes lined up, so if you choose to take off, guess what's going to happen… Your tires going to get flat."

They checked everyone's license plates, which is an improvement compared to the past when participants ran wild without facing any consequences.

If these large cities want to prevent things from escalating, this is the kind of action they’re going to need to take.

Road Rage - Would the man with the firearm have been justified if he had pulled the trigger?

Right before the victim takes action, he says, "Are you serious?" and then spikes the thug like he was a football after a touchdown.

That's one way to take out the bad guy, and he kept the gun.

An angry driver got out and pushed Williamsburg Bridge protesters at rush hour in NYC today because they were blocking his car.

The driver says, "You're disrupting traffic idiots, you can't do that, it's against the law," and multiple people are yelling, "Run them over!"

Watch carefully, and you'll see a protester trying to open his car door before he gets out.

Luckily, this didn't escalate, but it's only a matter of time before this boils over.

If a GROUP of drivers confronts demonstrators, what happens?

What happens if the person being blocked is a less "diplomatic" driver?

He was visibly reaching his breaking point, and had someone pushed back, this would have been much bigger news.

There is no doubt these demonstrators are getting braver, and the lack of consequences is making it worse.

These groups are not all the same, and I split them into 3 main categories; fortunately, this was what I refer to as "type 3," or the least aggressive.

I've already been embedded with the "type 2" group, and this is a ticking time bomb.

If you get into this position, avoid letting them bait you, and getting out of your vehicle would not be my first choice.

This group was out to annoy people, but some have no problem ratcheting things up a notch.

The video is from

A lady nearly ripped off an officer's car door during a traffic stop on the interstate west of Washington, DC, in November.

The lady didn't slow down or try to pull over, and as the officer got into his patrol car, the woman flew by and tore off the officer's door.

That police officer is lucky to be alive.

I’ve been behind the wheel of emergency vehicles trying to get through traffic, and it’s frustrating when people don’t get out of the way.

It's the holidays, and roads will be busy, so move over when you see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle. That's not Santa in your rearview mirror.
