We've got him on camera. Chicago's scooter thief has been operating in broad daylight all summer, and police still can't ID him. "All I can do is laugh,” one scooter theft victim said of the runaround he got trying to reach CPD detectives. https://t.co/2nOBRXgJ7y 4.3K views · 30 likes · 6 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

He robbed 4 downtown banks shortly after finishing a 20-year federal sentence for bank robbery. Prosecutors wanted a judge to give him another 20 years for those 4 holdups. The judge had a better idea: 76 years. See ya! https://t.co/Au7Hsrt2yv 5.5K views · 83 likes · 12 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →

@CWBChicago I have noticed quite a few crimes that have been halted by an A-15🙄. PSA: the best choice for defending against home intrusion is a shotgon. Plain and simple. Rarely talked about but highly affective a close range. 107 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Two national sheriffs' associations representing thousands of officers say Cook County's AR-15 ban leaves residents vulnerable in the time it takes police to respond. https://t.co/PjuPPbu6n1 6.7K views · 104 likes · 22 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →
@CWBChicago Clearly the ban in cook county doesnt work. And people like me cannot own the most popular style of rifle to have existed in the US, but ever idiot gangbanger can have one and flaunt it on instagram. 205 views · 13 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
@CWBChicago The main problem is this ban and that judges let repeat black criminals out, so called toughest gun laws are the fines on normal people trying to defend themselves. @ChicagosMayor defunded the police by eliminating 2000 positions, he makes the spending on police highe 382 views · 11 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
@CWBChicago The problem with assault weapons bans is that they often aren't based on how a firearm actually functions. They're largely based on cosmetic features and how the firearm looks. 374 views · 11 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
Two national sheriffs’ groups are urging the Supreme Court to overturn Cook County’s assault weapon ban, saying it leaves victims vulnerable when cops are slow to respond to violent situations. "A violent crime...can occur in seconds." https://t.co/PjuPPbu6n1 17K views · 472 likes · 90 reposts · 23 replies Open on X →
@CWBChicago Making a strong case for abridged profiling. And before anyone tries to cry racism, there’s plenty of illicit stuff people of ALL skin colors are prone to do that could qualify them for profiling.

Quite a day at O’Hare. Customs agents searching luggage seized a dead monkey and 125 pounds of beef that separate travelers were trying to smuggle into the country from Africa. https://t.co/FhdmevTk9r 277.7K views · 1.6K likes · 318 reposts · 139 replies Open on X →
