Pigs are flying

This is incredible. A citizen used a lawfully owned firearm to prevent an assault, but the amazing things are:

• The article about it is in the Chicago Tribune.
• The man (shooter/defender) was not arrested, and is being presumed innocent of any wrong-doing by the police.
• He defended himself with an AK-47 - I'm sure it was a knock-off(semi-automatic), but still the EVIL AK-47 is used to dispense justice and the media has nothing to say?

I thought it was a military-style weapon that's not good for anything but killing people! Well, I guess it is, and it turns out that that's a good reason to own one.

Damion arrived at the home with two friends and began quarreling with the 32-year-old about money Damion thought the man owed an acquaintance, Lambert said. "The resident was attacked ... and got out the weapon to hold off the attackers," Lambert said. "We're confident it was self-defense." The man was a registered gun owner and the AK-47 was a legal weapon, Lambert said.
