Concealed carry holder flips the script during attempted carjacking, shoots suspect and accomplice​

Darick Benson, 20, was charged with aggravated vehicular hijacking and discharging a firearm during an armed robbery​

A quick-thinking concealed carry holder in Chicago flipped the script during an attempted carjacking earlier this month, evading serious injury while shooting the carjacker, who was already on probation for a previous carjacking, and his alleged accomplice, according to a report.

An adult suspect — later identified as 20-year-old Darick Benson — and a juvenile female both suffered a gunshot injury after they unsuccessfully attempted to rob a rideshare driver, who was not identified, according to CWB Chicago.

According to court documents, the rideshare driver picked up Benson and the female in his SUV from the 1500 block of South Millard just after midnight on Aug. 12. Both passengers entered the backseat. Moments later, the situation turned violent as Benson, who was already on probation for a carjacking case late last year, allegedly pulled a gun and pointed it to the back of the driver’s head.

My favorite passage.

Judge Charles Beach ordered Benson to be held without bail.

Emily Motin, a public defender who represented Benson, argued during the bail hearing that her client should not be held without bail as there was not enough evidence to tie him to the alleged crime.

My favorite passage.

The bullet holes in him wasn't enough evidence?

The bullet holes in him wasn't enough evidence?

Holy Hay-sus! Stigmata!

No video? Thought nearly all of those services rideshare/uber/etc.. had cameras for just that reason.

My favorite passage.

Imagine being a public defender in some nightmare Democrat shithole. Yikes.

Another good guy with a gun.

I cannot imagine anyone out working a ride share after midnight in Chicago.
This guy has a death wish.

Nope, but he appears to have watched it a time or two....
