The mayor and police commissioner are "deeply disturbed" by the death of that poor young man. It was not self-defense, you see; it was "vigilantism" -- people taking the law into their own hands.
During a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Jim Kenney and Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said that while they respect the rights of business owners to protect their property, they were disturbed to hear that a business owner shot and killed a potential burglar.
“We do not endorse or condone any form of vigilante justice or taking the law into one’s own hands,” Outlaw said.
Phuk me....this is DURING a time of looting and riots, AND they used bolt cutters to cut his locked fence AND forced entry into his business and residence, AND were armed themselves?!?
Their response confounds me. WTF is wrong with those in authority?
Obviously they have their city SO under control that local Law Enforcement could have intervened and rescued this poor store owner before he was harmed and his store robbed... :doh:
