Fuckhead illegal alien (This isn't the P.C. way to refer to fuckheads)
standing near an intersection repeatedly fires at a passing vehicle,
then fires at another passing vehicle but the gun jammed. These are
facts the defense agrees with but his attorneys claimed he fired warning
shots in defense of the neighborhood. This was on the night with a huge
spike in shootings and gun homicides, June 2020, the hideous violence
following publicity of George Floyd's homicide.
The bullets he fired didn't strike the vehicle or people inside, so he
was charged under state law with aggravated discharge of a firearm and
other charges. For reasons not stated, state charges were dismissed.
He was charged with a single federal charge, illegal possession because
he was an illegal alien.
The Trump administration was filing lots of gun charges for 2020
violence because state prosecutors were either not following through, or
they didn't have evidence to sustain appropriate charges. The federal cooperation was seen as an alternative prosecution strategy that plenty
of local municipalities (including Chicago) were begging for, not only
because charges were dismissed or not filed under state law for specious reasons.
Now that Bruen is law of the land, the federal judge dismissed the
charge. Laws preventing illegal aliens from possessing guns based on immigration status only are unconstitutional post-Bruen.

This was a dangerous fuckhead. Those weren't "warning shots" as he
wasn't claiming that anyone in those two vehicles were threatening.
Generally, warning shots aren't legal anyway but an aggravated assault.
You can still hit a person.
