Veteran with a gun in Chicago

| July 7, 2014

Denzel A. Mickiel discovered the hard way that you don’t get into a gun fight with a veteran. It happened in Chicago this weekend where there were a number of shootings, the preferred method of communication in that city, I guess. A woman leaving a party with an unnamed vet saw a drink on the hood of her car and asked the crowd to whom it belonged. Mickiel was angered when she removed the drink from her vehicle and went to get a gun according to the Chicago Tribune;

When she removed it, Denzel A. Mickiel approached her, shouting obscenities and threatening her and her friends, according to Hain and court records.

Mickiel, 22, went into the residence, returned with a gun and began firing at the group, she said.

As Mickiel fired shots at the victims’ vehicle, the military member retrieved his gun and took cover near the vehicle’s front fender, according to Hain. Two unidentified males also shot at the group, she said.

The service member fired two shots and struck Mickiel twice, she said.

A 22-year-old woman in the group was injured by Mickiel in the shooting, sustaining gunshot wounds to the arm and back, according to court records and Hain.

The four victims escaped the melee in two vehicles as two unidentified males continued to shoot at them, Hain said.

The veteran also had one of the new concealed weapon permits, only recently authorized in Chicago.

Huh, imagine that, a Veteran using controlled and directed fire at the threat and hitting the threat instead of everyone else. Who woulda thunk it? I guess that takes away the argument that we can’t shoot as good as the cops.

Two shots, hit the perp twice. Good shooting, vet. You are a GO at this station.

Isn’t it sad that a city with the strictest anti gun laws still has anywhere from 4-50 shootings per weekend? Crime has dropped but not the violence of the illegal gun use. Hey Liberals, are you paying attention? Yeah, right.

For them to face facts would force them to come to terms with the real perps behind gun violence, and that they cannot do.

July 4th weekend: 84 hours, 82 people shot.

Oh, and one of the shooter suspects was a suspect in two other crimes, one of which was murder.

Left/liberals scream we must do something about “gun violence” by permit-holder veterans, write off shooting by untrained low-lives as “part of their culture”…

The Other Whitey

Whaddaya know? A Good Guy With A Gun intervened before it could become a “mass shooting.”

All I have to say to the Good Guy With A Gun is nice shooting. He demonstrated far superior marksmanship and weapon handling than half of the major metropolitan police departments in this country, including Chicago and New York.

Rule #2 – Double tap.

Controlled pair.

E-6 type, 1 ea…Roger That! Double tap to center mass and if they even wobble instead of hitting the deck…one to the melon.

Agreed, Sparks. It’s all about hearts and minds. Two in the heart, one in the mind.

Target. Rock on.

I am confident that nearly all of the 82 reported shot (14 dead, thus far) this weekend had bright futures in front of them. Some would have been doctors, medical researchers, others engineers and captains of industry. We’ll never know now. [Insert BRIDGE FOR SALE sign here.] So let’s get out the candles, position the stuffed animals around the telephone poles, and blame the horrible guns. That should do it.(Well, blame the guns except the gun legally possessed and used by this Veteran.)

Can’t do it. That potential terrorist, that rained killer veteran with an evil gun seriously injured that poor down trodden misunderstood youth.
