Uber driver with CCW permit stops mass shooting in Chicago

Well done. 

I wonder if events like this will begin to change some minds in Chicago.

A group of people had been walking in front of the driver around 11:50 p.m. Friday in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue when Everardo Custodio, 22, began firing into the crowd, Quinn said.

The driver pulled out a handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times, according to court records.  Responding officers found Custodio lying on the ground, bleeding, Quinn said.  No other injuries were reported.

Presumed at least 50% hit rate on target and 0 collateral hits? Well done, indeed.

Agreed. A generally favorable outcome, although now the (original) shooter will become a ward of the state for a prolonged period.

There will be many heads asploding in Chicago and Illinois State Governments.

The only thing more hated in Illinois then Uber is CCW.  Combining both into such a positive outcome is very bad for the narrative....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

A positive outcome?! How dare you! A gentle giant has been gunned down, and just as he was beginning to turn his life around! Check your privilege, etc!

You left out some stuff.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Has the Uber driver been charged with a crime yet?
Has the local authorities published his name and address in the name of transparency?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

No charges will be filed against the CCWer. 

The guy who fired into the crowd has been charged with aggravated assault and unlawful use of a weapon.  That seems way too light to me.

If you charged him with attempted murder you'd be acknowledging that the CCWer probably saved lives.
