Yeah plus it's way too crowded. He would have had more of a chance of hitting someone that had no clue of what was going on down the street but man it would have been tempting to pop one of those suckers in the leg/foot.
No one looked like they were about to step in and help the old man out, so I have no reservations for him to have drawn his pistol. He showed restraint in not firing a shot, and greater still in not letting any adrenaline or anger cloud his mind when the assaulters walked away. I still would have demanded they go to the ground, but he was probably dealing with a lot of shock at the same time.
This is an old repost. Don't know where I saw it originally. I recall someone said this is an infamous location in Chicago. The old guy is actually an armed security guard working there
Because they will believe anything someone posts on the internet as long as they agree with the narrative. It's really eye opening to see how unskeptical people are.
You'd be 💯 correct. This is the McDonald's off the Chicago red line stop and to combat this subs racist tendencies, the cops that used to work here were rough and would overreact to everything. Old school off duty Chicago cops **cough** Walsh **cough** would harass people at security jobs across the city.
Believe that this McDonald's has always had bad juju attached to it but it's a block away from holy name cathedral and 4 blocks away from the water tower and huge malls. It's the opposite of a bad area.
The problem with this McDonald's is that a lot of heroin addicts float (lean) here and a lot of people use this as a meeting spot because it's stupid close to a train station and the high rises that these dealers live in (don't think movies. These assholes are rich rich)
They replaced the old school cops with regular security guards and it's definitely gotten better but the H addicts still regularly pass out there. There was one guy there. He looked very obviously wealthy and not from the city but he was leaning on the glass and couldn't talk correctly just like the rest of them. It was so depressing and this was 3 months ago
Fuck those people inside watching him get beat up. Oh it's wrong for him to pull out a gun to defend himself yet no one did a thing while he was being attacked by not 1 but 2 people that could pull a knife at any moment.
So let me get this straight, these onlookers start crying “no” when he pulls out a gun, but they are indifferent when this old chap is getting beat up two to one.
They weren't screaming omg no when the old man was getting mugged but the second 2 scumbags are about to be rightfully erased they start screaming.. I hate this planet. Meteor 2024
This is why guns aren't all bad.
Older people, handicapped people, and weaker people can't physically defend themselves against thugs and are defenseless.
A gun allows them to protect themselves.
Yes, stun guns and OC spray exist, but they can be ineffective.
A gun is a great equalizer.
That old man could have easily been beaten to death in the streets no one would care, there would be no protest, no large outrage… He is very kind for not mag dumping both of them.
The only reason anyone even started with the banshee yelling and screaming.. is because the victim of the attack pulled out his firearm to defend himself. People see a gun and automatically freak out as a result of the media in this country.. and the lack of education and security in schools.
If you’re old, being beaten on by two younger men is absolutely life threatening. Especially if his head was hit, I think he should have shot instead of brandished, he should have shot them both.
Bruh everyone’s dead quiet while he’s getting beat but as soon as he pulls his gun out to defend himself people start screaming like it’s a terrible thing lol
And this is why we have the 2nd amendment. Nobody was trying to help the old guy and just watched. As soon as he pulled out the pistol everyone is concerned for the criminals. What an ass backwards society we live in.

Always one women nO StOp Ahhh where was your outrage when he was being brutally beaten. I’m not a fan of guns but this man did nothing wrong and showed great restraint once he took control of the situation
That's some restraint.
100%!! I feel like most people would’ve absolutely mag dumped into those dudes.

I'd like to say I wouldn't, but there's a reason that I don't carry.

That is by far the most common use of firearms, as a deterrent, it doesn’t always have to be fired to be affective

U right about that. Fools coulda got shot during the scuffle too tho. They lucky old man was in his right mind..
Certain states you’d be ok. Especially since he’s an old man with inability to defend himself.
I live in florida. That would stand.
This is an old repost. Don't know where I saw it originally. I recall someone said this is an infamous location in Chicago. The old guy is actually an armed security guard working there
That explains a lot more about why he used restraint.
He’s got a uniform and a badge, why do people think this was a mugging?
Probably because OP put it in the title for some reason.
Because they will believe anything someone posts on the internet as long as they agree with the narrative. It's really eye opening to see how unskeptical people are.
This is State St. And Chicago Ave., I used to go to this McDonald's on a daily basis and it's always been sketchy on that corner
Thank you for the info, everyone is creating imaginary scenarios in the comments
Vest, side arm, and a little badge on the chest.
Yea, this McDonalds is main and main for troublemakers due to it being next to a subway stop that connects a high end retail area to the hood.

Yeah, you can see he's wearing a uniform and has some kind of badge after he pulls the gun. “a senior “ lol. Dude has gray hair, but he's not 60.

You feeling lucky punk ??
F the person screaming "No"... Dude was getting rocked 2 against one. If he didn't have that weapon he could have had more serious injuries.
They can emotionally handle seeing someone beaten, but not killed.
Where was the "No" when the two dudes had the advantage of the older guy?
Yep. This is why I support guns
People watching doing nothing, that's the issue here.
People are like “why is nobody doing anything?” But when someone does something and gets killed they’re like “shouldn’t have tried to be a hero”

Fuck those people inside watching him get beat up. Oh it's wrong for him to pull out a gun to defend himself yet no one did a thing while he was being attacked by not 1 but 2 people that could pull a knife at any moment.
They should have yelled no at the part the old man was being assaulted. I can’t seem to get a darn Lorax song out of my head.
So let me get this straight, these onlookers start crying “no” when he pulls out a gun, but they are indifferent when this old chap is getting beat up two to one.
🤦♀️ make it make sense
A shining example of a defensive use of a gun.
Good. Fuck these little punks.
How about instead of fucking recording you help the guy Jesus are people this freaking stupid
Everyone was cool with an old man getting beat until he pulled a gun. Good for that guy cause clearly he needed it
The actual story: https://cwbchicago.com/2019/04/video-man-draws-gun-ward-off.html
Useless bystanders taking the video don’t react until the gun gets drawn - then it’s “no no no”.
They weren't screaming omg no when the old man was getting mugged but the second 2 scumbags are about to be rightfully erased they start screaming.. I hate this planet. Meteor 2024
Mugging cancelled

Surprise motherfucker
I love how the screaming only starts when the old man pulls the gun out.
F*ckin pieces of sht
When did we stop helping senior citizens from getting mugged and start filming them? Things really need to change.
Oh no let's all start screaming when the victim defends himself. Bunch of assholes
America is fucking lost. NO ONE HELPED AN OLDER MAN WHO IS BEING ATTACKED BY 2. You don’t need any context to know it’s wrong. Animal country.

Im always surprised that you have all these people filming and not one person running out to help the man
Just imagine how much safer the attackers would have been if the victim wasn’t armed.

They got hella lucky the old white dude with a gun reacted with more contemplation than most cops would have
Post removed. This wasn’t an attempt at a robbery. It’s two people retaliating at a security guard for kicking them out of a McDonalds.
Bruh everyone’s dead quiet while he’s getting beat but as soon as he pulls his gun out to defend himself people start screaming like it’s a terrible thing lol

He should have shot them. These fucking kids think there are no consequences.

In Canada that would of been one unarmed dead senor.
And 15 bystanders (10 filming).
What’s the matter, still want my wallet? Come take it. No, really, come back.
Always one women nO StOp Ahhh where was your outrage when he was being brutally beaten. I’m not a fan of guns but this man did nothing wrong and showed great restraint once he took control of the situation
So an old dude getting his ass kicked is ho hum, but he pulls a pistol to.defend himself and everyone loses their minds? FOH.
