    MADISON – Christine Schweiger and her 10-year-old daughter, Monique, had just picked up chicken at a north side Milwaukee Popeyes when they were approached by two teens looking for a victim.
    Jevon Jackson was 16 then, in November 1993, when he and a 15-year-old friend demanded money from Schweiger in the fast-food restaurant’s parking lot. Jackson, according to court documents, displayed a sawed-off shotgun and ordered the mother of three to her knees. When Schweiger pleaded that she didn’t have any money, Jackson cocked the shotgun and fired point blank at her head – execution style, in front of her horrified daughter

    How is this about gun control? See if you can find the one paragraph that tells you much about gun laws.

    If Jevon Jackson is the type of individual who deserves a second chance, and this notion is supported by those who align with the liberal leftwing mentality, then they are devoid of a reason to be pursuing firearm-related restrictions in the first place.

    true but that's not the paragraph that reveals the bottom line truth about gun laws and criminals

    Narrative.
    The media has a narrative; if the facts do not fit, they are ignored.

    'Jackson made a series of premeditated bad decisions. First, he decided to commit armed robbery with his pal. The teens hatched a plan to target white people “because they believed white people were less likely to be armed,” according to court documents. '
    'They watched Christine Schweiger and her daughter enter the restaurant and waited outside for about 10 minutes until the target walked out. Jackson pulled out the sawed-off shotgun. The teens ordered Schweiger and her daughter to give them their food. The victims complied. Jackson then ordered Schweiger to her knees and demanded she give him her money. Schweiger said she did not have any money “and looked back at Jackson out of the corner of her eye.” She had an “attitude,” Jackson told investigators.
    That was enough for the 16-year-old to squeeze the trigger and instantly take the life of Schweiger, a single mother who worked as an accountant in the Milwaukee County Department of Aging. '

    ...this says much about offenders and gun laws. WI didn't become shall issue until 2011 , offenders look for easy targets and they knew that most of their compadres were armed.so, obviously law abiding whites are an easy choice. often offenders are motivated by contempt for the law and for their victims, a sense of power
