A career-burglar picked the wrong house to steal from when he targeted the home of a Chicago cop’s family Friday morning, prosecutors allege.

Lamont Ferdinand, 21, hobbled into court Sunday morning bare-chested and bandaged, after a bullet recovered from his body was matched to the officer’s gun.

Though Ferdinand claimed he was shot in a drive-by shooting, the recovered bullet matched the officer’s gun and Ferdinand’s jacket was recovered from near the officer’s home, the report says.

Ferdinand, who has three prior felony convictions and was on parole at the time of the alleged offense, is charged with aggravated assault to a peace officer and residential burglary.

Age 21 and three prior felony convictions.

2. He simply chose wrong.

He should have chosen any home in Chicago, except a cops. Any other would have been easy pickings. Everybody knows that firearms are illegal in Chicago!.

4. Time to get a beer and wait.

Any second now, folks should be right along decrying vigilantism and bloodthirsty gun owners because some poor, disenfranchised, misunderstood, FUCKHEAD, with a criminal history going back to stealing change from his mother's purse, get his stupid, stealing on parole, ass shot!

Since the catch and release justice system seems specifcally designed to grow throphy criminals, and keep as many lawyers as possible of welfare, when does society rid itself of vermin? Violent criminals are like a cancer, at some point why don't we just put them out of our misery?

I'd be fine with non-violent crooks, the dope smokers and such at home with ankle bracelets or whatever. Reserve that costly cage for the bastard who by his violent criminal history has proven he needs to be there until he is dead.

5. 3 prior felony convictions?

But that little shit in prison for the long stretch he deserves!

6. He was excited and emboldened by the possibility that his victim might be armed

Otherwise he never would have broken in.
