CHICAGO (STMW) — A man left an alleged burglar in critical condition with stab wounds Monday morning in the South Side Park Manor neighborhood after coming home to find him trying to leave with his Xbox and flat screen TV.

Police say the burglary happened about 11:40 a.m. in the 700 block of East 73rd Street.

A 39-year-old man came home from work to find his apartment door forced open, with the frame damaged and cracked. When he walked in, he found the burglar trying to walk out with a suitcase filled with items including an Xbox and flat screen TV, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

The man began fighting with the burglar, who was armed with a knife. The fight spilled out of the apartment, into the foyer and ultimately out into the street.

Police say the man, in fear of his life, also took out a knife and began stabbing the burglar in self-defense.

Officers on patrol in the area saw the fight in the street and broke it up.

The burglar was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with multiple stab wounds. Charges are pending.

You can burn up my clothes and you can smash up my ride but F’with my X-Box.

S.O.S.

Leroy Goldberg

Leave it to you to know how to savagely deal with somebody. Welfare, section 8, food stamps but y’all got them X-Boxes.

Shuante Williams

Anyone living off of the taxpayer has no business at all having luxuries like an X-Box or flat screen TV. What the hell?

Neka QueenNeka

Ya’ll are just dumb. You can’t assume. All we know is that is came from work and found something stealing his xbox and TV. How in the hell did ya”ll get that he’s a drug dealer and on welfare.Stupid, dumb and ignorant.

I can assume you all fit in that category

Jim Hamilton

Damn my reading skills are getting poor.

Oh this is a poor black ho trying not to gerggle between breaths nvm.

One of CPS finest.
Cris Bates

Your right, and they are not worth the effort. The burglar got what he deserved. We as American have the right to protect our homes, our families in it, and our dame X-Boxes and flat screens. That means all American not just the white folks.

……and they do fit in that category. Well said.

not from south of I80-

Your going to have to excuse Jimmy . He’s got pts and is handicapped. Jimmy just hates the city and everybody in it . In his mind us decent hard working folks up here 9 million of us are all thugs drug dealers and thieves . Get a life looser. Clearly he wants to read what his brain want to read. The guy was coming home from work . Can’t you read ? Your just another suburbunite on disability and welfare.

Well, he fought him knife to knife, so it was not unreasonable force. The thief got what he deserved because he pulled a knife on the property owner. Now, I might not kill someone over an Xbox, but if they pulled a knife on me there would be a fight. Wonder what the wrongful death penalty is in Chicago, here in California it seems if you wound a thief they can sue you for millions, but if you kill them their family can only get 250K for wrongful death. Makes one wonder, eh?
Cris Bates

Soo true. Jimmy just got passed on for his promotion, because they gave it to someone who wasn’t white, someone with color and now his panties are all in a bunch. Poor poor jimmy it sucks to be you, stop acting like a little BEEEEEEP!!!!!
