You would be shocked about how little resistance it takes to stop some criminals who want to look tough with a gun but deep down don’t want to hurt/kill people.

> do they lock the doors. Why didn’t he run to the next car? The cops aren’t there yet, you’re just gonna wait for them

Yes. He should have attacked the man with the gun who has already overpowered him once to take the gun and try to run down a short hallway with no real exit.

I’m not saying attack the guy but push him off of you and make a break for it. If you are gonna go to prison for years but the police aren’t there yet, you gotta run

Push the guy… with the gun… oooookkkkkkkk

Run where? You think you’re just gonna go one car down the line and the angry mob you just attempted to rob isn’t going to follow?

He gave the gun to another guy at one point and told him to put on the safety

Yes run to another car. There was no angry mob. According to the witness in the report everyone was frozen until the one guy acted. And then keep going down cars until next stop and try to escape. I’m not saying you would have a great chance but you’d have a definite shot

2 of his 3 guilty sentences were discharged so while it goes on his record he has no jail time to serve. The third charge was dropped down so the robbery would be charged as if he did NOT have a gun…. And all these breaks were made with 4 prior assault charges and what I think to be a heroin distribution charge within the previous 12 months. I’m sure he was shocked he got any time at all.

This link provides more information than I would expect actually. Anyways glad you sent it because look here at his number one thing on his record:

26 10-8-526: CTA - UNSAFE COND/CROSS BETWEEN CARS (98-126-1.6A)

This guy loves going between cars, they must not lock them.

I don’t see the distribution charge but maybe I didn’t comprehend the charge right. I just see a possession. Armed robbery with a gun on a train, I guess he isn’t the sharpest tool, but that is clearly a step above anything else he was caught for. And I only see two assaults.
