The new State's Attorney is a step up from the last, but it is still Deep Blue Chicago. Chicago crime: Homeowner with CCL shoots intruder amid break-in in Back of the Yards on Loomis Boulevard, Chicago police say - ABC7 Chicago
It happened at about 2:39 a.m. in the 5100-block of S. Loomis Boulevard, police said.
A 59-year-old man was breaking into a garage and was confronted by the homeowner.
CPD said the homeowner, a valid CCL holder, pulled out a gun and shot at the alleged intruder.
The guy who got shot is expected to be okay. The police also say that "charges are pending."
Back of the Yards is a neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, about 8 miles south of the Loop. From about 1865 until the 1950s (?) Union Stock Yards was surrounded by a lot of meatpacking operations. The people who worked there, lived in Back of the Yards. It isn't one of the 77 official neighborhoods, but is part of New City.
Liberal prosecutors generally hate self-defense. I don't know that much about Eileen O'Neill Burke, the current Illinois State's Attorney for Cook County, except that she is better than Kim Foxx. That is not a high bar, as Second City Cop called Fox Crimeshea. I guess we will see what happens in this case.
Self-defense is a human right. It is a concept that seems to be catching on in Chicago. I see this as a case of, "Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0.
