In the “ghetto” culture, a willingness to inflict violence is a mark of prestige. And Springfield resident Trayvon Little, aged old enough to know better, thought he was the big dog on the block. In fact, he might have been the big bully on his block on the hood in Springfield. That didn’t mean crap in the real world though. Two Illinois State Troopers, responding to a shots fired call just north of the Lexington Exit on I-55 found Trayvon trying to execute one or more people in the car ahead of his.
He thought he was going to shoot his way out of the situation once the Trooper rolled up.
Because he had very poor impulse control and an inflated estimation of his invincibility? Or maybe he just didn’t care if he lived. Well, either way, he got his ticket punched as the ISP Troopers engaged him. They made some pretty decent hits at a sizable distance. (Question? Where were their patrol rifles? Rule #1: If you can’t avoid a gunfight, bring a long gun and friends with long guns…) Kudos to the Troopers. God bless them for doing the Lord’s righteous work.
Trayvon, thinking he didn’t have to listen to authority figures (which I’m pretty sure he had never been taught to do as a child and teenager) continued with his mission to kill the other car’s occupants – who no doubt “disrespected” him in the vernacular of the ghetto culture. No doubt it was something trivial. Yes, he did so even with the Troopers firing shots at him. That’s dedication. Or suicidal stupidity. But then again, I’m sure Trayvon couldn’t spell ACT much less score a 32 or more on the college entrance exam.
So at 37-years-of-age he got into a gunfight with two Troopers and he didn’t fare well. They shot him enough, including the taxpayer relief shots, that they ended his murderous rampage on planet Earth, saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in incarceration costs.
Here’s the video. Enjoy.
Kudos to the Troopers. Props for the CPR as well. That helps drain the last of the blood out of a well-perforated bad guy.
I know we’ll have the invariable people here in comments who will denigrate the ISP for their role in the gun ban legislation. However, they didn’t pass the bill and they’re frankly not working real hard at enforcing it against gun owners. And if you think it’s intolerable with ISP on the roads or working elsewhere in the state, just imagine what it would be like without them. Trayvon the Turd would be out their committing more random acts of senseless violence, maybe against you and your family as you’re travelling up and down I-55.
Not everyone is equipped to deal with turds like this, and even those of us who are don’t relish punching the ticket of a bad person with evil in their heart.
From WGLT government-funded media:
Illinois State Police on Monday released video from last month’s shootout on Interstate 55 near Lexington, showing an armed man pointing what appears to be a gun at officers before being fatally shot as others nearby scrambled for cover.
What appears to be a gun? You appear to be a government-funded mainstream media. He was a bad guy pointing a gun at police.
State Police released about 10 minutes of video footage of the incident, which happened around 12:40 p.m. Feb. 24 on northbound I-55. The graphic video, which was posted to YouTube, shows two perspectives: one officer’s dashboard camera, and another officer’s body-worn camera. It does not provide a conclusive narrative about the incident, which is still under investigation.
Maybe if you’re a moron with an IQ in the low double-digits you need careful narrative. People who don’t follow police commands on the side of a road and instead try to shoot at the cops are pretty much usually bad guys. Just like mainstream media Democrat operatives with bylines are usually bad guys when it comes to your right to defend yourself.
State Police say its officers were responding to a call of shots fired. Video shows officers arriving at mile marker 177 near Lexington where two vehicles – a blue car, and a light-colored SUV – were already stopped on the shoulder. The video shows a man in a white shirt, standing behind the SUV, pointing what police believed was a gun at an arriving officer, as three other people stood nearby.
The man then walks into the middle of the interstate, then the median, as officers tell him to “get on the ground.” The first shots are then heard. The man ends up on the ground in the right lane of northbound I-55, near the blue car. Video shows him appearing to try and get up, as officers shout, “Show me your hands!” That’s followed by additional gunfire. The man them slumps back to the ground and does not get up again. The gunfire lasts around 70 seconds in total.
State Police say the man was Trayvon C. Little, 37, of Springfield, who was shot and killed. No one else was injured.
There were at least four other people in and around the two vehicles that day. Three people were standing outside the SUV near Little when officers arrived. They scrambled to take cover once the shooting began. Police found a fourth person inside the blue car after the shooting stopped – a woman who screams, “I ain’t got no gun!” as officers approach her.
Southbound I-55 traffic was still passing by as the shootout unfolded in broad daylight, on a Saturday afternoon. During the gunfire, one of the three people scrambling for cover is heard shouting, “Please don’t shoot me!”
…State Police say their investigation is ongoing but that they’ve “confirmed Little fired a shot from inside his vehicle in the direction of another vehicle before (State Police) officers arrived on scene.” State Police previously said officers saw him shoot at “the other vehicle” and that he pointed a firearm at them too. It’s unclear how many shots were fired by State Police.
