As if things weren’t already screwed up enough in the Windy City, gang banger crooks are apparently so hard up for a target to inflict violence and theft upon they are now trying to rob, of all things, a garbage truck? WTF?
In proof criminals really are THAT dumb, early morning bandits approached a garbage man on his route after he stepped outside of his truck as it was parked in an alley. But the driver, a CCL holder and as the news had to point out in the Peoples Republic of Illinois, also a FOID card holder, as in Firearm Owner’s Identification, which “allows” a gun owner in the state to practice their constitutional rights, wasn’t having none of that.
According to NBC 5 Chicago, “the suspects displayed a firearm and announced a robbery.” The sanitation worker let his own gun do the announcing and went OK Corral on the two losers, shooting one 42-year-old suspect in the head, killing him on the spot, and popping a cap into his 20-year-old accomplice’s neck, putting a prompt end to said robbery. The latter was transported to a hospital after the melee and was last listed in critical condition.
Two weapons were recovered on the scene and detectives are still investigating, NBC 5 reported. The incident took place in the early morning hours of Friday, Jan. 31.
The garbage truck driver was taken to a hospital for evaluation and last listed in good condition according to Brietbart news.
When asked how he felt, the sanitation worker told local news: “It’s just all in a day’s work. Taking out the trash is what I do.” Ok, not really, but that would’ve been a cool quote.
For what this situation is worth, however, the score did end Garbage Man 2, Violent Criminals 0, proving when it comes to violent outcomes one man’s trash really is another man’s treasure, and this is one story defensive minded gun owners can treasure.
