Judge "Really Really" Means It
Giving him a mix of encouragement and tough words, a judge sentenced the teenager who masqueraded as a cop to nearly three months in youth custody for violating his home confinement.
Judge Andrew Berman ordered the 15-year-old boy who famously impersonated a Chicago police officer earlier this year held in the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center until a Dec. 16 hearing to determine whether the youth has made any progress.
The teen, whom the Tribune is not naming because he is a juvenile, has been held in custody since late August after prosecutors petitioned the court claiming he had violated his home confinement several times this summer.
At a Sept. 17 hearing, the teen testified that his mother kicked him out of their South Side home for several days following an argument.

This kid appears to have psychological issues that stem from something other than bad parenting and the lack of a positive role model. Being locked up won't cure those issues -- he needs a shrink.
And all during this tongue-lashing, static-like noise resonated through his underdeveloped brain, his mouth agape in uneducated disillusionment, unable to comprehend the severity of this latest predicament.
At the urging and coaching of his tax-dollar-appointed public defender, he mindlessly nodded contrived acceptance of and responsibility for his latest violation of the law, promising to never even entertain the thought of recidivism.
Judge Andrew Berman, through his compassion for what amounts to little more than half animal, half child, further enabled the decay of a society that is hanging onto civility by a thread.
I got two (2) weeks on the over/under that this "child" commits a violent felony upon his release from the Audy Home.
Damn liberal juvenile court judges!
They are the reason for the displays like we saw at Fenger HS recently. The youth of America is not being forced to take responsibility for their actions and are therefore growing up like wild savages!
Back in the day, we kids were more afraid of catching a beating from your old man than ANYTHING!
The traditional American family was what held society together. May the traditional family Rest In Peace!
The simple reason crime is out of control!
Lack of Punishment!
Judicial Discretion!
Lack of prosecution!
How about an investigative report of judicial conduct, offenders committing same crimes over and over, and being let go.
Conduct of sentencing!
SOCIETY HAS LET THIS HAPPEN!
VOTE DEMOCRATIC TO SUSTAIN VIOLENCE AND DISORDER!~!!
JUDGE Berman is the worst judge on this planet.
There is no reason for him to be retained except for the fact that people dont know what a lousy judge he is!!!
His probation is meaningless!!
Ive seen JUVYS violate his probation numerous times and this quack just gives more probation...
He completely sends the wrong message to these youth..and thats why they turn into men thinking they will only get probation when they commit crimes!
Berman you are a complete joke for a judge!!!
Sounds like mama needs someone to go upside her head & start raising this this youth in a proper manner.
OT - Wouldn't it be AWESOME if after all this Olympic craziness, the Stuttering Prick's own words sink Chicago's host city bid!
CHICAGO'S OLYMPIC BID HURT BY DALEY'S REMARKS?
The IOC said that while there has been no "official" complaint filed against Chicago 2016, they are aware of the controversial comments by Daley because "they were in the media."
I can only hope that the IOC is also aware that the media ran a poll that shows that LESS THAN 48% of Chicagoans want the Olympics here.

he still has 1 million chances to turn his life around.
SENTENCE HIM TO FENGER!
GLADIATOR SCHOOL IS THE BEST THING FOR A BOY WHO WANTS TO BE THE PO PO.
Isn't this the same kid who also stole a car of a used car lot? How come nobody talks about that? What ever happened with that case? Did he go to court?
Does he get to keep his pension?
Just think this kid will get an extra year of crime under his belt before he is treated to the county jail. 1 Jan 2010 17 year olds are no longer adults!
I've been in front of Berman on various cases. He is a person who is almost never on time, is quite lax when it comes to sentencing delinquent youths, and he is just another reason many of these kids don't learn. As far as parents go we all know for most of the people in these impoverished neighborhoods when it comes down to it kids are no more than another paycheck.
RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE KID IS GOING TO BE MADE THE COMMANDER OF THE 3RD DIST SOON TO RAISE MORALE AND FILL THE VACANCIES
Resettle him to the east.
I was MUCH more afraid of catching a beating from my mother. My dad was an OK street fighter but my mom could box like Tyson.
IM WITH WEST SIDE FOR A DUCE... HE WILL BE BACK A WEEK AFTER HE GETS CUT LOOSE.
Crack Baby.....no serious his not being all there could stem from a hype momma?
Mom was going to let Jr. back in the house a week before the City settled with him. The check would then be made out to her. LOL
I thought I remember someone posting that he was "kicked out" and didn't live with his mother at the time of the original incident?
That it was hard for the arresting officers to "convince" her to come to the station while he was being processed and that they actually had to go to her house to bring her to the station because she was unwilling to come in on her own.
Everything else aside, its not as if he committed a violent crime. If the story is to be believed he was kicked out of his home, and thus became in violation of his probation.
Who knows why he got kicked out, or even if that is true, but just what is a 15 YO kid to do if he gets kicked out of the house?
Not excusing anything, but sending him to jail or JD is not going to improve his behavior one bit.
I am not real sure I fault the judge so much as a system that has few options built in to it to try and recover a kid like this that might be salvageable, instead the only options seem to be either ineffective or will turn him into something far worse.
The answer is way beyond my pay grade, but IMO, the answer is probably that there are no good answers to these kind of situations. They can be avoided (mostly) by effective parenting, but once you get to this point, that option is long gone.
One thing you have to understand SCC is that judges can not just lock up every bad guy who comes across their bench. It would be nice if they can, but for practical reasons they too have to pick the worst scum of the earth who deserves to go to prison because they have limited space.
Judges have to make the same practical decisions we cops have to make. For example, while on patrol, we stop people with no license, suspended license, people drinking, smoking a blunt, prostitutes, kids staying past their curfew, and bullshit domestics. If we locked up every bad guy we came across, we would be wasting our time over nonsense while someone may need a 10-1 assist!

Blame it all on the "liberals" make sense to me. LOL.
BTW, if the all important traditional American family values are oh so important, they why do we have a 55% divorce rate? I guess you too can blame it on the "liberals".
Imagine this:
Being 15 and pretending to be a cop. Getting the uniform and then getting chased out of 004. Does that discourage you? NO WAY! You then convincing the morons in the 3rd district that your the real deal and get to play cop for a whole tour.
After getting caught and arrested, you then put on a suit and talk a scum-bag shister car dealer into giving you the keys to a new car without even producing a driver's license.
And SCC wants to punish this kid?
I FUCKING LOVE WHAT THIS KID PULLS OFF! He comes up with these wild schemes all by himself, he puts massive effort into preparation, and then PULLS IT OFF! On top of it, he's got the balls to go into this stuff ALL BY HIMSELF!
Punish him?
HE SHOULD BE THE STAR OF HIS OWN TV SHOW!
All this animal, savage talk is a bunch of bullshit. This kid has more brains and more balls than 70% of the fools on this job.
Anitaaaaaaa...sounds like Mom needs some jail time..... child abandonment...calling all parents where are you???... lets lock a few up and see how glamorous teen pregnancy and welfare will look then... hell lets make it felony child abandonment, hmm will Pat Fitzgerald get involved? Isn't there some kind of civil rights violation?... naw, too much bad press locking up a mom...
signed -board
BTW did anyone catch the sarcasm "board of education"? maybe the Fenger fight was a new CPS program
He'll just learn the finer points of burglary, cage fighting, and committing the abomination of sodomy......why should he be any different then the average Chicagoan?

yes thats why he's on double secret probation and the judge really really really means it this time
P S Y C H O L O G Y destroyed America...
Berman is a Jack Ass of immense proportions. Four years ago a fifteen year old jagoff set two innocent kids on fire inside a car. The fifteen year old tossed a match into the car after his jagoff gang banger buddy doused the two kids with gasoline. One kid died and the other survived with third degree burns over 70% of his body. Judge "Jack Ass" Berman REFUSED to transfer the kid who tossed the match to adult court. So when he is 21 he is free to walk the streets again, while the other gangbangers involved in this horrific incident all got over 100 years. By the way the kid confessed on video with his mother present, yet BERMAN did not have the wherewithal to transfer this kid to adult court, and this kid is a complete and total jagoff with an extensive arrest history. I can only hope that Karma finds its way into Jack Ass Berman's life some how and SMACKS his DUMB LIBERAL ASS very hard.
Juvenile is where they send the extra retarded judges. Because they figure they can do the least amount of damage there. They are all ultra liberal morons.
