Update: Jewelry store thief and worker who shot him are released without criminal charges – CWB Chicago
These stats are for admitted or reported crimes. Chicago does their best to hide crime as much as possible. Even now making many crimes legal, as in theft up to certain breakpoints.
In a dramatic turn of events on a Saturday morning in Chicago, an employee at a local jewelry store, equipped with a concealed carry permit, intervened in an alleged robbery attempt, firing at the suspected criminal and leaving him wounded with at least two bullets. The incident unfolded just before 11 a.m., adding another layer to the ongoing debate around personal safety and escalating crime rates in the city.

According to CWChicago, the purported 27-year-old robber targeted a jewelry case near the front door of the store. In an attempt to gain access to the valuable items, the alleged criminal swung at the case with apparent intentions to shatter the glass. It was at this critical moment that a man positioned behind the store counter took swift action. Drawing a pistol, he efficiently racked the slide and discharged shots as the suspect seemed to be turning toward the exit.
The consequence of this quick response was the alleged robber tumbling out of the door. However, determined to retrieve something he had dropped, the wounded suspect reached back inside before making a hasty escape to the nearby “L” platform. His injuries included a gunshot wound to the abdomen and another to the buttocks.

Despite the dramatic nature of the incident, the alleged robber was released from custody on the following Sunday. CBS News reported that charges are pending, leaving the legal repercussions of the episode hanging in the balance. The goal of the Democrats in all cities they control, is to get the criminals back onto the street to rob and hurt or even kill again, as quickly as possible. The stated goals of this insanity is to make crime so horrible that within a few years the people will agree to a Green Militia, Venezuela style that can be armed and roaming the streets, doing the regime’s bidding. As horrible as the crime rates are now, these animals on the Left actually want it much higher, so every excuse is used to get the criminals free.
Local resident Christine, who resides near the jewelry store, shared her thoughts with CBS News, offering a perspective on the broader issues at hand. She expressed concern over the increasing burden placed on business owners and residents to shoulder the responsibility for safety. “I think to throw all the responsibility on the business owners or the residences is really not the right way to go,” Christine remarked.

She went on to emphasize the alarming trend of rising crime in the area, stating, “The crime is just escalating, and it’s getting worse and worse. We had kids killed a few weeks ago. Now this armed robbery, it’s a shame.” Christine’s words underscore the palpable anxiety within the community as criminal incidents, including violent ones, continue to make headlines.
The incident also rekindles the ongoing debate surrounding concealed carry permits and the role of armed citizens in deterring or responding to criminal activities. Advocates argue that such incidents highlight the importance of individuals having the means to protect themselves and others in potentially life-threatening situations. On the other hand, critics express concerns about the potential risks associated with untrained individuals carrying firearms in public spaces.

The aftermath of this jewelry store confrontation leaves the legal system with the task of determining the appropriate charges for the alleged robber and assessing the actions of the concealed carry permit holder. As the city grapples with broader issues of crime and public safety, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the complex and multifaceted challenges faced by both residents and law enforcement in Chicago.
The Democrats are succeeding and hurting American citizens in all cities that they control. It is only their control over 95% of media that allowed them to get away with much up to this point. Although now more and more, as Democrat instigated and created crime is touching all citizens in all of their cities, the Democrats are quickly losing their most loyal voting blocks. People can only be pissed on for so long.
