Back in October 2021 I wrote about how Cook County, Illinois has legalized murder and running gun battles in public. I'm not making this up... here is the segment to refresh your memory.
The Purge is Coming to Chicago
A deadly gang shootout took place on the morning of October 4th, 2021 requiring a SWAT team response. Over 70 shots fired with one banger dead and two wounded. On the following Monday the Cook County States Attorney dropped all charges and released the dirt-bags citing “Mutual Combat” as the reason. This is a term from the golden age of dueling to describe a "fight into which both parties enter willingly, or in which two persons, upon a sudden quarrel, and in hot blood, mutually fight upon equal terms."
Please note that this ancient law refers to TWO PERSONS (i.e. a duel)… it does not absolve two carloads of gangsters shooting up a house-full of other gangsters. I can only assume that the Cook County Attorney attended Chicago Public Schools and is severely lacking in reading comprehension. Perhaps she received her Law Degree from Costco.
Also note that illegal possession of firearms, illegally modifying semi-auto weapons to fire as full auto, illegally discharging firearms within city limits and endangering innocent bystanders weren’t even considered in the decision to release these assholes. Apparently gang members can laugh at gun laws because Illinois prosecutors don’t bother to enforce them. Law abiding citizens are persecuted for minor infractions while gangsters go free. Meanwhile elected officials defund the Police. You just can’t make this shit up.

BTW, this was not an isolated incident. Just one week later Cook County prosecutors released a 17 year-old who fatally stabbed an unarmed 18 year-old in Schaumburg.... again citing "Mutual Combat". I guess they did not comprehend the part about “fight upon equal terms”.
Crime and violence is spiraling out of control in Progressive cities. The criminals are rarely caught... and when they do get caught they are released. You may want to consider investing in body armor before the Purge comes to a city near you.
No Body Armor For You
Following the recent mass shootings that have plagued the country, New York State has banned the sale of body armor to civilians. "The bills would prohibit the purchase of body armor for civilians, and require a license to purchase a semiautomatic rifle"
The Police can't protect you. Progressive Prosecutors won't protect you. AND Progressive legislators (including Pres Joe) will do everything they can to insure that you can't protect yourself.

BTW, body armor is NOT protected by the 2nd Amendment. There is nothing to stop the Progressive Urban Socialists (PUS) from leaving you naked and afraid.
Is It Legal To Own Body Armor
YES! Except in NY (when the new law goes into effect) or if you are a convicted felon (existing Federal law). You're not a convicted felon... right?
Next week I'll provide a primer on armor.... as a public service, of course.
