Had a conversation with a coworker about guns and concealed/open carrying around the time of that Texas church shooting. It's only now on rare occasion that I take weapons out my home or car. In my younger years I'd always have it on me, and would have used it to defend a complete stranger if the situation required it (least I thought I would).

But now, naw. That one hero with a gun shyt is bullshyt, at least for most us. Best case scenario, detain or kill a criminal, avert a worse situation, a gun lovers deluded fukking hero fantasy. Reality is scared incompetent cops show up and shoot my black ass too, they definitely wouldnt allow me to explain myself holding a criminal at gunpoint. Nowadays (having matured, it's the same ol world :comeon:)I'd run in the opposite direction too


Edit- the proNRA/police crowd gone blame the victim per usual

It's crazy, I was actually daydreaming about the thousand oaks shooting and wondering if I dove in :francis::francis::francis:and subdued the shooter...only to be clapped up by the police...cray this happened :wow::wow:

This is why black people shouldn't play the hero in these cac shootings... let the cops fend for themselves...:ld: because the cops will turn around and perceive you to be the biggest threat... Even tho JOHN fukkING RAMBO MOWED DOWN A WHOLE CONCERT FROM HIS WINDOW WITH THE 50. CAL!!! :why:

breh, fuk trying to be a hero. keep it on you to protect YOURSELF or YOUR FAMILY.

fukkd up part of the story is that one of the only statements the department put out was to mention that the deceased did not have a valid concealed carry permit (although he did have valid FOID).

RIP:snoop: this can't be life.



A black security guard this weekend prevented a potential mass shooting at the bar where he worked — and was then gunned down by an Illinois police officer who mistook him for a criminal.

WGN TV reports that 26-year-old armed security guard Jemel Roberson was working at Manny’s Blue Room Bar in Robbins, Illinois on Sunday morning when he was attacked by a gun-wielding man whom witnesses say had been kicked out of the bar earlier in the evening.

Roberson returned fire on the man and managed to subdue him and pin him to the ground.

However, when a Midlothian, Illinois police officer showed up on the scene, he opened fire and killed Roberson because he thought Roberson was the true assailant.

“Everybody was screaming out, ‘he was a security guard,’ and they basically saw a black man with a gun and killed him,” witness Adam Harris tells WGN TV.

The Midlothian Police Department has so far released very little information about the shooting and is only confirming that one of its officers was involved. According to WGN, the State Police Public Integrity Task Force is running an investigation of the officer’s decision to open fire on Roberson.

Pastor Patricia Hill of Chicago’s Purposed Church tells WGN TV that she’s horrified to see another young black man fatally shot by police despite the fact that he had risked his own life to prevent a potential mass shooting.

“Once again it’s the continued narrative that we see of shoot first, ask questions later,” she said.

Black security guard stops shooter in a bar -- then gets gunned down by cop who mistook him for criminal

This is what I expect to happen if I ever get my concealed carry.

Mind you, I could pull out an ink pen and still get killed because "It shined like a knife in the sunlight, I feared for my life" :merchant:



For some reason, no one talks about this.

Folks are going to assume:

A: Stole the gun

B: Up to no good with said gun

C: Going to kill someone innocent (white) with said gun

There will be no talking or conversation. You will just get shot and become a hashtag.

Doesn't even have to be a cop. You shoot a dude in plain clothes, every cac in 20ft becomes an enemy because they see YOU with a weapon.

I try to explain this and folks just go" But but gun laws and rights and blah blah blah"

It's a privilege :mjpls:

RIP
He saved numerous cac lives only to be killed by cacs? Job or no job i'm never putting my life on the line for cacs.

Brother saved some cacs....

No bad deed goes unpunished i guess.

The family should simply do whats Natual to do... But most of us dont, they'll forgive the pig and the police union will give him paid leave.

:why: This is why being a reactionary without proper context or info is useless
