warpedskydiver 0 #1 September 13, 2007 Last saturday, my brother (the coach of the home team) was at Drake Field in Elgin, IL. The game was in progress, and all of the sudden two teens, who were not attending the game ran across the field, while the game was in full swing. The Perps fired multiple shots at each other "Gangsta Style" while my brother was yelling for everyone to get on the ground. One of the perps hurdled my SIL and struck her with a knee to the head ( she already had bad neck problems). She is hurt pretty bad now and cannot use her neck to turn her head. All totaled, around 20 shots fired and luckily nobody was hurt. The police arrived and actually caught both of the young black males, who were dressed in gang "colors". Charges have been filed for discharging a weapon in the city limits and UUW. No charges have been filed for the illegal possession of a weapon. No charges for reckless endangerment No charges for attempted homicide but the cops have conceded that they need to have a "community hearing" on how to keep safe at public events. The visiting team left immediately, and vowed to never come back to Elgin, Illinois, as have many other teams have refused to ever play a game in Elgin, since the incident occurred. Too bad that IF I (or anyone else) had been there, and killed both of them, I would be rotting in jail for the rest of my life, for stopping the threat to all present. Welcome to Illinoistan!

AWL71 0 #3 September 13, 2007 These two punks should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We have plenty of gun laws on the books but they are not enforced. In a situation like this they should be.The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #4 September 13, 2007 Quote All totaled, around 20 shots fired and luckily nobody was hurt. imagine if someone showed them how to hold and shoot a psitol. Gangsta-style shooting is an unorthodox one-handed combat handgun stance wherein the weapon is canted 90 degrees from "normal." This unconventional shooting method is appearing more and more frequently in movies and television. When Hollywood first introduced us to gangsta-style shooting it was met with snickers of derision from firearms instructors and experienced shooters, who quickly recognized it as an inferior technique. However, Ayoob mentions his encounter with an unnamed European armed service that was teaching its personnel to shoot gangsta-style as the technique of choice. According to Ayoob, their reasoning was: "Americans are on top of pistols, and they have their best people as technical advisors for their films, so it must be the thing to do." It’s not uncommon for new shooting students to inquire of their instructors why they aren’t being taught this specific technique. After all, it’s new, they’ve seen it on TV and in the movies, it looks "wuz-up cuz" cool and cold-killer businesslike, so it obviously must be better than the old fashioned methods!

warpedskydiver 0 #6 September 13, 2007 Those two perps should have been put down on the spot. DRT One shot to each of them would have been bleach for the gene pool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #7 September 13, 2007 My brother states that not only they were holding the pistols sideways, but flinging the pistol as they shot as if trying to "throw" the bullets down the bbl. He did say he wished I was there.That was probably the nicest thing he ever said to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zipp0 1 #16 September 13, 2007 What was their intended target? Stories like this tell me, when faced with this situation, do not panic, aim slowly and deliberately, and put them down. There is very little chance of being hit by people like this. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

masterrig 1 #20 September 13, 2007 Both gangers, more than likely, have previous records. Probably on probation. Due to jail and prison over-crowding, they'll probably plea to a lesser charge and get 'extended probation' or if, they get jail time it'll probably be something like '30-days and time served'.

Chuck That's the problem with putting people in jail for every little fucking thing. People like this who actually belong in jail don't end up there.
