First He Got Shot, Then He Was Sentenced

This looks like actual Justice in Chicago. Garbage collector shot 2 robbers outside Chicago school; the one who survived is now sentenced to 8 years - CWB Chicago

Chicago seems to be warming up to the idea of legal self-defense.

A garbage collector shot two men who tried to rob him outside a Chicago charter school last year, killing one and wounding the other. On Monday, the surviving robber, a Hammond, Indiana, man, received an eight-year sentence.

The intended victim is a concealed carry license holder. When two guys thought it would be good to rob him, he showed them the error of their ways.

If you click thru there is security camera video that captures the moment of the ambush attack, and the garbage collector defending himself. It comes with the usual, Life is messy trigger warning/discretion advised warning.

The new, or maybe not-so-new State's Attorney in Chicago (2 years, maybe 3 now) seems to have a much better attitude about actually punishing criminals than Kim Foxx ever did.
