Good guy with a gun in Chicago
This last weekend, 22-year-old Everardo Custodio opened fire on a crowd of people in Logan Square, Chicago, according to the Chicago Tribune;
A group of people had been walking in front of the [Uber] driver around 11:50 p.m. in the 2900 block of North Milwaukee Avenue when Everardo Custodio, 22, began firing into the crowd, [Assistant State’s Attorney Barry] Quinn said.
The driver pulled out a handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times, according to court records. Responding officers found Custodio lying on the ground, bleeding, Quinn said. No other injuries were reported.
Custodio was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic hospital, where he was treated for gunshot wounds to the shin, thigh and lower back, authorities said.
According to police the Uber driver, had a legal permit to own a firearm and a concealed carry permit, a rare commodity in Chicago and probably a big surprise to Everardo Custodio who was probably expecting that the draconian firearms laws in Chicago would protect him from the immediate response that he got instead.
And since no one else was injured or killed, it won’t register in the liberal media as a mass shooting that was prevented by a good guy with a gun. They require at least three dead victims to pay it any attention.
Thanks to Bobo for the link.

Apparently to paraphrase we have Uber Uber Custodio
Nice to see a positive outcome where only the shitbag is injured for a change. Well done Mr. Uber Driver
This one hits close to home-0 son #2 was an Uber driver for a while, and is licensed to carry in Virginia, where he worked.
I’m glad to hear the punk took a bullet to the shin. Probably shattered the bone. With a little luck, Mr. Custodio will be pushing a wheelchair for the rest of his life….
Damn, I’m mean and nasty today!!
“Damn, I’m mean and nasty today!!”
I LIKE it!
If he’s really lucky, the doctor will have removed about 1.5 to 2 inches of his shin bone, so that he has a permanent impairment of his ability to flee from shootings and armed robberies. And the round to the back will enable him to suffer from muscle spasms for the rest of his miserable existence.
…Which will make it easy for him to spend the rest of his life as an SSI leech.
Chicago?!! That IS a surprise.
I always thought that Chicago’s past history of Draconian gun control had made it into a shining example of inner-city peace, nonviolence, and stability, with almost no crime and violence. There can’t possibly have been (gasp!) gun violence there!
(Yeah, that last para above was sarcasm. But I was serious in the first one.)
Evidently it seems Indiana and Mississippi are at fault for all the guns in Chicago. If only the rest of the country would adopt their laws this problem would go away.

OF COURSE, no harm EVER comes from liberals’ laws and policies, it’s always the fault of eeevil Conservatives exporting hate and violence into their beautiful, peaceful, lollipop tree-filled Utopias! /sarc
Nowhere in the article do the state how many of those guns are reported stolen. Of course that would go against the corporate line that criminals obey the laws,
What? And let facts and logic get in the way of their bias & propaganda? PERISH THE THOUGHT!! /sarc
Any takers on the bet that the perp sues the shooter and wins, or that the DA presses charges?
Not gonna happen.
Because I can get WGNTV news online, I keep tabs on the old hometown. I saw this story at noon, and it was followed by a report on the Cook Co. state’s attorney’s intention to dismiss minor pot cases so that her office can focus on gun crimes and gun violence.
Besides, Uber needs the good PR and has more money than el Stupido Custodio, so his chances of winning something are slim to zero.
Ex-PH2 – you’re from Chicago too?
I *knew* there was a reason I liked you!!!
Concentrate on gun cases? Cook County has one of the LOWEST rate of gun prosecutions in the country… they use those charges as plea-bargain throwaways.
Ain’t diversity great?
Don’t think it’s as much due to diversity as it’s due to dumbassery. But that’s just me.
