Self-defense seems to be catching on in Chicago. Oopsie! 15-year-old robber with pellet gun ran away when woman pulled out a real gun, Chicago police say - CWB Chicago
A 15-year-old boy who pointed a pellet gun at a woman during a robbery attempt in Uptown ran away when his would-be victim pulled out a real firearm, Chicago police say.
A group approached her as she neared a CTA station. One of them pulled out the pellet gun, and demanded her property.
But the woman had another idea. She pulled out her own firearm, and the group ran away, police said.
Cops caught up with the 15-year-old with the pellet gun a few minutes later and arrested him. I expect that the Criminal Justice System will set him free, because keeping violent criminals in jail is unfair, and it is especially unfair when it is a 15-year-old. By the time he is 18 or 19, he will have a real gun.
He'll have a real gun within 24 hours of being let out of jail....
