How are you going to denigrate this man's actions, Boss Daley?

An 80-year-old Chicago resident who is reported to be a Korean War veteran shot and killed an armed intruder at his home early yesterday.  The thug had apparently been trying to enter the back door of the home the man shares with his elderly wife when the incident occurred.

A clear case of successfully defending one's home, life and loved ones?  Indubitably.  Case closed.

The problem now, though, lies in the fact that the homeowner used a handgun to accomplish said trash removal, and that particular item has been outlawed for that town's residents since 1976 (although we see how much good the ordinance did in stopping the bad guy from getting his hands on one).  That law is still in force, although the Supreme Court is expected to rule against that unconstitutional ban any day now.

"Neighbors described the elderly couple, who both walk with canes, as pillars of the community in Garfield Park, where home invasions have been all too frequent."

We absolutely dare King Emperor Mayor-for-Life Richard Daley to allow his pet district attorneys to charge this man with a crime for daring to defy His Dishonor's edict on possessing a legitimate self-defense weapon, one which served the exact purpose for which it was manufactured, namely enabling a law-abiding citizen to save the two lives (including his own) which were being directly threatened by that home invader.  An attorney has already offered to defend the homeowner for free:

"'Self-defense isn't just a right, it's a duty,' said attorney Joel Brodsky. 'If this man is prosecuted for saving his own life it's not just a travesty, it's justice turned inside out.'"

Not to mention the fact that we really, really doubt that there are two law-abiding jurors in that town, much less 12, who would vote to convict this man of anything right about now.

Good luck defending your cherished freedom-robbing law now, regardless of how short a time it's got left to remain in effect, Mr. Daley.  We hope some of your corrupt monies were used to hire a stellar PR team.  You're going to need their assistance very soon.
