"When has it ever become legal to shoot someone because they’re pulling off in your car?"

17-year-old Charles Macklin, was killed while trying to steal a Jeep from a Chicago fire lieutenant on the West Side last August. The lieutenant had left the Jeep running, and Macklin jumped behind the wheel.
The lieutenant ran in front of the Jeep and shouted, “Get out,” according to a police report. When Macklin began pulling away, the lieutenant drew his gun and fired through the open driver’s side window, hitting the teen in the chest.

I would’ve rather had to get a call to go bail him out of jail than to get a phone call that he’s dead.”

Walker, 20, has organized protests, started a Facebook page and launched a hashtag on Twitter. She says she hasn’t given up hope of getting justice for her brother.

It hasn’t become legal........... but it should be.

The lieutenant was in front of the vehicle and it started moving forward?
That’s a bit different than shooting the guy for stealing a car.

Better question is why can’t you shoot someone stealing your property?

Not everyone carries full coverage.

Well.. If he drove AT him it isn't illegal. If he was driving off, illegal.
Posted on 6/15/18 at 9:24 am to NYCAuburn
There is almost a 100% chance that had he decided NOT to steal someone's car, he'd be alive today.

I get why some would shoot. I however, probably would have left my firearm where it was. The shooters life will be forever changed even though the choice he made was lawful. I would not want that on my conscience.
Now if the kid was trying to run me over with my own vehicle then that's a different story.

I'll say again that it is because of incidents like this that I believe we will have another civil war at some point.

When they are moving in your direction behind the wheel of a deadly weapon. Doesn't even have to be directly at the shooter since vehicles are able to maneuver and not just travel in a single straight line. If the shooter was in front and the driver swerves in an attempt to run over or the shooter steps aside to avoid being run over, dead to rights to shoot!
Automobiles have long been considered a form of "deadly weapon" and the recent terror attacks killing multiple victims using vehicles as a weapon bear out the justification of the designation.
Stupidity and/or grief does not change facts. Dead guy was an idiot and a criminal. World is a better place without them.

Meh, kids can change, most likely he wont but a car inst worth shooting someone over IMO.

It's not.
but im sure Chicago fire lieutenant will get off easy.
So unless you're in front of the car and he is running you over... that's homicide.

Lt. Matthew Boerwinkle, a spokesman for the Illinois state police, said it would not be appropriate for his agency to comment, even though it oversees the issuance of concealed carry permits. He responded with a copy of the Illinois’ “use of force” statute, which says a person is justified in using force to defend his life or the life of another if they reasonably fear similar force against them is imminent.

The reasoning of these people is so stupid it’s pitiable

Exactly. And one day when you trade that car in for a new one how you gonna feel killing someone over it.
