Seven charged after violent machete attack on train platform | Fox 59

A group of 7 Chicago pukes use a machete to attack 2 men waiting on a train because they had the audacity to use the stop without being in a gang.

The whole attack was caught on camera.

Of course Chicago politicians will continue to tell the people they have no need to carry a gun to protect themselves.

There are places I never go in Chicago. There isn't anywhere I go in Chicago that I feel safe and that I wouldn't have to fight to the death with some animal.

I guess the bad guys didn't know those machetes are illegal in Chicago.

And the left continues to look for utopia....

Just some youthful hijinks...

 

[OakRiver]

Quick! Lets make assault with a bladed instrument illegal......oh wait

Sooner or later we can expect to see a Bernie Goetz incident on public transportation in Chicago. (Google it if you don't remember) Socialist Illinois pol Deb Mell (Blagojevichs sister in law) pushed for no CCW on public transportation. The thugs know its open season on the public in these areas.

This must be one of those drive bye bayonetings the Clinton administration was worried about and why they chopped off bayonete lugs

Yep. Even if you manage to jump through all the hoops to get a CHL in Chicago, you still can't carry on the El or the bus. Clearly the thugs know this.

Ban assault knives!

No one needs more than a 6" knife...

I have to go to Chizakistan for a week next month. I'll be on high alert. I'm still plotting my defense carry. From what I can tell my EDC knife is not allowed (too long - assisted open) so it's time to go shopping.

 

[cbhausen]

Just wow... If ever there was a case for carrying this is it. And think about this next time you wonder how many rounds in your magazine is "enough". I wonder if the accused were here "undocumented". And what a couple of airheads living nearby being interviewed... The gun vs. machete comments were so ignorant I sometimes wonder why I'm cursed to share this rock with some folks.

They are.
Look up Chicago knife laws.

Buy a machete, they're all the rage in Chicago.

Who's colors you bang'n? We aint bangin. Chop chop chop. My kind of town Chicago is...my kind of town.......

I work downtown. Last year they put some surveillance camera's up inside the station I use and out on the platform. Guess how many. Not two or three, not even five or six. Nope, I counted over 50 cameras on the platform and inside the station. I couldn't believe it. I wonder how much that set the already broke city back. No wonder Chicagoans get raped on taxes. 50 cameras in just one train station, and multiply that by the number of train stations in the city, must be over 100 EASY.

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for the city and everyone else if law abiding citizens were armed? Wouldn't the problem just fade away once the gang bangers realized they were outgunned? Or does the city just enjoy watching it's citizens being murdered??

I have to go to Chicago tomorrow morning for a work related trade show. Staying the night and coming straight home Saturday. Can't wait to get back home.

Camera contractor wrote large checks to Rahm and Quinn, made a solid return on his investment.

Mark, think like a Chicago politician.

If you arm potential victims you will negatively impact your voter base (the gangbangers) and you teach your tax base (the productive class) that they can live without government.

Governments will always oppose the productive class from arming itself. It is bad politics.
