This guy is facing death or serious injury and fought for his life. And I finally figured out how to embed a video.

It's really unbelievable how stupid most criminals are. Here is a guy with a gun, who doesn't seem to understand that it functions best with a little distance between himself and the target.

"This guy is fighting back with a bat...I'd better try to grab it so I can shoot him."

[Therapsid]

This is in broad daylight.

And surprise, surprise this happened in Chicago.

Guns are bad. They should make them illegal in Chicago so the city will be safer

[lavidaloca]

He probably didn't want to shoot the guy. I doubt it's all that easy to mentally cross the barrier where you are able to shoot someone.

[teh_skeeze]

That dude must have been on PCP or something. There's no way you can take an aluminum bat to the head like that and keep going. I was once sitting on a ledge waving a bat side to side and I barely hit myself on the side of the knee. That shit was sore for like a week.

Imagine if the guy with the bat was American. That motherfucker would be dead.

Being facetious?

I assume you are but not positive...

If guns are outlawed the bad guys won't be able to buy them!

As the example of Chicago shows, if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

This is the part where I refuse to engage in any kind of empirical/cognitative gathering of facts and instead repeat my initial statement even louder and more aggressively while outlandishly calling you a cisgendered racist.

Am I doing this right? I'm trying to go undercover here.

[soup]

Wow. that's almost as stupid as the people who put their baby in the washing machine.

[A War You Cannot Win]

How else is the baby going to get cleaned?

two coequal triumphs!

[kbell]

The guy was deflecting bullets with his bat. That's impressive. Like a light saber, but bollywood style.

I like how the criminals have guns but the store owner is only allowed a bat.

[A War You Cannot Win]

The criminal is probably from a disadvantaged background, so affirmative action dictates he should have superior weaponry when committing his crimes to put him on equal terms with the store owner working an honest job.

Sarcasm.....

Gun goes off at 22 secs. Either he missed, or loaded with blanks? Strange.

I'm guessing he missed. It takes a lot of legit training hours to being able to accurately engage a moving and resisting target. When my unit was going through the Marine Corps' Advanced Urban Combat course it took us a whole month of 12 hour days for the average Marine to accurately engage and assess a
stationary target while moving with the degree accuracy expected in the course

[Vicious]

When you're that close it actually become more difficult to hit a moving target because you have to make a grand change in angle. The second you have to swivel your body aiming becomes very difficult despite the proximity. At say 5-8m out the aiming correction would not be as high.

[vinman]

The store only was actually hit once in the leg.

All the store owner had to do was put up a gun free zone sign, and the perps wouldn't have entered. DUH! Besides, Chicago already has "policies" against guns. They just need proper mid-level management up there to enforce those policies.

I think some community organizers should be able to nip this problem in the bud.

[MidniteSpecial]

That was the weakest use of a bat I've ever seen.

And just as well too. Can you imagine the outrage if he had made a direct hit on that guy's skull and put him in the hospital or in the ground?

[Blackhawk]

Did he hit the guy's gun hand when he took out the glass countertop? I still can't tell.

I think it's impressive the store owner got shot and help on swinging. Adrenalin can carry you through an extra five minutes, but now he'll be in a hospital for the next two weeks.
