\"\"Wayne La Pierre<\/strong>, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association<\/a>, continues to report “what they didn’t tell you today<\/a>.” This article tells a story about a home defense incident that would never have happened if the Chicago-area criminal justice system had done it’s job. As Wayne points out, the mainstream media would probably sweep this latter fact under the carpet.<\/p>\n

Give Probation, Get Attacked<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems like a clear case of self-defense … and it is. But what they didn’t tell you about an armed invasion of a home in Chicago’s suburb of Zion spells danger for innocent victims.<\/p>\n

According to the Chicago Tribune, a 16-year-old thug named Gerrell Davis donned a black ski mask and gloves and forced his way into the home of middle-aged couple. Davis was armed with a loaded rifle and deadly intent.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old wife grabbed a 9mm handgun from her bedroom, ran to the kitchen and fired twice. The intruder was found by police on the kitchen floor, dead and still wearing the mask.<\/p>\n

Authorities said they don’t anticipate any charges against the couple, who acted in self-defense.<\/p>\n

But what they won’t tell you is that the violent attack never should have occurred in the first place. And that this wasn’t the first time Davis had attacked with a gun. Two years ago, he was convicted of aggravated battery with a firearm and should have been in jail … or at least in juvenile detention!<\/p>\n

But he wasn’t. In fact, Davis didn’t serve any time. He got slapped on the wrist with probation. Free to do as he pleased.<\/p>\n

The good news is that the couple he attacked was able to defend themselves.<\/p>\n

But how many more violent thugs roam the streets of Chicago and its suburbs? Free on probation, just like Davis, to do as they please?<\/p>\n

That’s the bad news. And that’s what they didn’t tell you today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
