In the video below Tommy Sotomayor brings the story of an off-duty police officer, minding his own business while pumping gas when he is surrounded by three thugs, held at gun point and proves his assertion that they picked the wrong guy to attempt to rob.
Sotomayor's commentary is golden as he states in his video and the article associated with the video "Not only is the young man dead but it would appear that the officer could have done the world a favor by taking out the other two!"
A gun pointed at his gut, the off-duty sheriff’s sergeant digs through his pockets with his left hand, fumbling for money, as the three robbers surround him at the Far South Side gas station.
The sergeant is surer with his right hand, quickly drawing his own gun and firing point-blank. The gunman, 16, drops at his feet as the two others scatter, according to surveillance video that captured the robbery Monday night at a Citgo station at 103rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, across the street from Gately Stadium.
Aside from the commentary, Sotomayor provides footage of the incident in the video shown below.

Below you will find a list of gender options available from Facebook for FB users in the U.S.
The number one social media site, Facebook Inc, is now allowing users of its online social network identify themselves as a gender other than male and female.
Facebook announced on Thursday, the user profile for Facebook members in the United States now includes a customizable category among the gender types that users have the option to select from.
For people who select that option, they can select up to 50 gender identifications, including "transgender," "intersex" and "fluid."
Facebook said it worked with a leading group of gay and transgender advocacy organizations to come up with the wide selection of identity options.
Until today, Facebook's 1.23 billion users could only select male or female for their genders type, which Facebook requires users to state in their profiles. Users of rival Google Inc's Google+ social network already had an "other" option for their gender choices.
Facebook said one of the options users will have is that they can control the audience who can view a custom choice, noting the challenges that some people may face in publicly sharing their gender identity.
Facebook members will also have the option to choose the personal pronoun to which they are referred publicly. A message on Facebook might now invite a user's friend to write a birthday message on "their" wall, instead of "his" or "her" wall.
"We want you to feel comfortable being your true, authentic self," Facebook said.
Please leave your comments below, I would like to hear from you on the Facebook change.
