    Exclamation Black security guard stops shooter in a bar — then gets gunned down by cop




    Level Set -


    • Robbins, IL is mostly all Black Residents
    • Midlothian IL, mostly White Residents


    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.

    This is what happens when blacks are responsible for the majority of murders.
    I'm not saying it was right. The officer screwed up...maybe. I wasn't there. We'll have to wait and see what really happened.

    It's powerful incentive for even armed patriots to leave mall mass-shooters alone. Such patriot might save 100 innocent lives, only to be seen with the gun after the criminal is subdued, and be shot dead for the heroism.
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    This is what happens in a society founded upon white supremacy.

    Again.

    And again.

    And again.

    And again.

    And again.

    And again.

    And again.

    And again.

    And again.

    As society makes endless excuses for it.

    did he, or did he not stop the shooting?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    when you have black skinned cops also killing civilians when they shouldn't be, wouldn't you say this is more a society based upon blue supremacy?

    This is a horrific tragedy.

    Curiously, the skin color of the officer is not mentioned.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    One of the most important drills I learned during my defensive shooting classes ...

    A) after firing your weapon, pan 30 degrees left and right
    B) check your six(6)
    C) position your six(6) from all possible entry points
    D) announce you're a CCW holder, ask someone to call police
    E) keep your weapon pointed down and in the direction of potential danger
