Janique Walker knows the cost of a split second.

Her younger brother, 17-year-old Charles Macklin, was killed while trying
to steal a Jeep from a Chicago fire lieutenant on the West Side last
August. The lieutenant had left the Jeep running, and Macklin jumped
behind the wheel.

The lieutenant ran in front of the Jeep and shouted, “Get out,” according
to a police report. When Macklin began pulling away, the lieutenant drew
his gun and fired through the open driver’s side window, hitting the teen
in the chest.

Macklin’s last words were, “Sorry, bro,” according to the police report.
The teen died on the pavement. He did not have a gun on him.

The lieutenant had a concealed carry license. He was not charged and he
was not disciplined by the department, according to spokesman Larry
Langford.

“That was investigated by us, and we found no violation of any rules,”
Langford said. “The police didn’t arrest, the state’s attorney found no
reason to charge. There was no wrongdoing as far as the Fire Department is
concerned.”

Several instructors contacted by the Tribune said they emphasize in their
courses that guns should only be used when a life, not property, is at
stake.

David Lombardo, a concealed carry instructor who said he has trained more
than 7,000 people to get state licenses, said he would let an armed
carjacker take his car.

“You want my car? You can have it and I’ll hand over a (credit) card for
gas, too," he said. "I’m not going to defend a car with a gun, that’s what
insurance is for. I’ll get a better one.”

According to a police report, the Jeep was parked on the right side of the
street and the teen was turning left to pull away from the curb when he
was shot. "Vehicle starts to move forward. (The firefighter) moves to the
left and draws his concealed firearm and fires one shot through the
driver’s window.”

Anthony Guglielmi, chief spokesman for the Chicago Police Department, did
not return calls seeking comment on the case.

Lt. Matthew Boerwinkle, a spokesman for the Illinois state police, said it
would not be appropriate for his agency to comment, even though it
oversees the issuance of concealed carry permits. He responded with a copy
of the Illinois’ “use of force” statute, which says a person is justified
in using force to defend his life or the life of another if they
reasonably fear similar force against them is imminent.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

Like negroes, horse thieves and cattle rustlers in the old days usually
wound up as decorations hanging from trees...
