Quinn to Sign Bill
- Gov. Pat Quinn is expected to sign legislation on Wednesday abolishing the death penalty in Illinois, according to the House sponsor and sources familiar with the governor’s plans.
The governor today quietly invited death penalty opponents to a private bill signing ceremony at his Capitol office scheduled for late Wednesday morning.
Nice to see Quinn protecting the rights of the next Gacy coming down the line.

I don't know anyone who admits to voting for this mush, thank God.
I guess this is what we get when a multimillionaire runs our state like it's his own personal playground. He's such a warm and fuzzy guy, doesn't want to offend anybody by, say, relieving society of a cop-killer or a child-molesting murderer.
Nope, not him; he's a great guy.
Fuck you, Gov. Quinnky. This, plus the proposed FOID law should really seal your legacy of ineptitude.
To those who claim that the death penalty isn't a deterrent, consider this; It is at the very least a specific deterrent to someone convicted and sentenced to die.
What's cruel and unusual about it is that it takes so damn long between sentence and execution.
How does Texas do it so fast?
Quinn: Soft on crime.
typical democrat ass wipes. Cullerton, Madigan, Quinn, and the big turd Four Pensions state senator Ed Mahoney from the 19th ward.
What was wrong with Bradley. No more hand outs, its time to stand up to these basxxxx.
I'll let you know what a pussy you are Quinn if you got the balls to show up at the Springfield memorial. You lied about having pro police conservative values.
It is a sad day when our leader gives the criminals more rights than the victims they kill.
The problem in America today is APATHY. The pols throw out their stupid ass ideas and wait to see how much fallout it stirs up.
Nobody cares about the death penalty. The killers and criminals and their friends and families (aka the core of the Democratic voters) are strongly opposed to it as it affects them the most. The average law abiding citizen doesn't really care until they are somehow victimized or personally affected, so they say nothing.
Notice how quickly State Sen Cullerton changed his tune when he stirred up a shitstorm by suggesting that our pensions should be taxed.
Screw these politicians, they all suck!
The people have spoken. They wanted this over Brady. They want gun control in violation of the Constitution, and they want and end to American freedom which will be replaced by socialism.
And they voted for it while the rest stayed home.
pussy
Job security for the police.
Now all we need to do is to get that Push program going again to cut the prison expenses by putting the thugs back on the street.
Then the lawmakers can whine and grandstand about needing tougher gun control laws.
It ain't gonna matter how many or how tough any of the laws are if the judicial system doesn't enforce them.
Another lying democRAT. When this fat ass piece of shit was running for Gov. he specifically said he was for the death penalty. This scumbag will cost police oficers their lives. But then again, the limp wristed liberals will love him.
This piece of shit governor does not have any backbone. He does what he is told without question. He probably sleeps soundly, people without conscience normally do.
This state, county, city of thievery make my stomach turn.
I'm embarrassed and ashamed the reputation this state has and we as residents are responsible for.
huge mistake. was a great bargaining chip to get offenders to confess in exchange for life. state just gave up the blue chip for nothing.
Is it me or does this guy look like he dabbles in the same paint as J W G?
Can't figure this one out. 023 a good northside ditrict, yet everyone on afternoons is trying to get out. Is it the management?
ILLINOIS VOTERS ARE MORONS.
At least Quinn is doing SOMETHING to bring people into Illinois. Only problem is that they're criminals.
The death penalty will only exist on the street. If a police officer is killed, the shithead knows he won't face death at trial. Why shouldn't he pull the trigger?
The police will have to take care of business but don't dare slap them or cuss them out or police will risk going to prison.
i thought living here in illinois was the death penalty?
Charlie Sheen would be a better governor than insane quinn.
Birds of a Feather
Ryan gives them early release
Quinn gives them death dispensation
Daley gives them city jobs
i hope brunch w/ martin sheen was worth selling out.
Typical democrat thinking: the unborn child who commits no crime can be sentenced to death through abortion, the shithead who rapes, kills, etc deserves compassion.
Makes no sense at all.
Bizarro state.....with all the advancement with DNA and evidence.....lets get rid of the death and pay for these mutts to live when they are proven guilty. Illinois has to be the worst state in the country.
Its called fiddling while Rome burns. Makes the academics feel good while ignoring reality.
why not
he has lied about everything else
he lied about raising the taxes
he lied about helping National Guardsmen getting benifits
he lied to the police
and not he lied to the victims relatives

This was always some protection for prison correctional officers since inmates killing officers usually received the death penalty.
Nothing will stop these killers now from not only killing COs but low-risk inmates who are usually preyed upon.
Isn't there a way to recall this Bozo? He is a total embarrassment.
more candidates for the city of chicago employee pools...
Bastard.
It used to be that I wanted to move out of Chicago but now we are moving out of this crappy state! FUCK YOU QUINN!!
OFFICERS! You know what we must do...protect yourselves the politicians won't. Put the REPUBLICANS back in springfield.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS SAYS:
The Democommiecrats are deliberately destroying America as we know it. They ARE the Communist Party in disguise. Be prepared, the next Depression IS here. Look around instead of watching the Kool-Aid drinking mainstream news media. Stick together, conservative brothers and sisters, very evil times are ahead with the Communists running our Country. The gasoline prices, enemployment, crime, political corruption, inflation; housing market, stock market are only the beginning under our Comrade in Chief.
Asshole Quinn only carried 3 counties in this state. One of them was Cook County. Can you figure out why?
And according to one poll 70% of the people favored the death penalty. Go figure.
Only slightly OT
Now more than ever concealed carry is needed
A bill approving a process to carry a concealed weapon (HB 148) has passed out of committee on March 8th and is to go to the House floor for debate and a vote (If the politicians don't play their BS games)
There are actually 2 comparable bills in the Senate that will go through this process...
(SB 82 – SB 2150)
Now more than ever it is important for people to be a ACTIVE PARTICIPANT in this process....
First, go to the site below to get a list of active legislation
www.isra.org/legislation/
Next, go to this site to find out the contact information for your legislators...
www.elections.il.gov/districtlocator/districtofficialsearchbyaddress.aspx
Then call IMMEDIATELY and tell them to support the bills in green and block the bills in red from the ISRA site.
When you call your politicians be sure that you tell them to support HB 3130 which will make the state recognize out of state permits....
10,000+ second amendment supporters will converge on the Capitol in Springfield on Thursday March 10th for the Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day....if you can't join them in person, be sure to call your legislators and demand they support the right to carry and the second amendment
www.igold.isra.org/
Visit the forums of the websites below. They have a ton of great information....including how to get carry permits from other states that are recognized in many other states but our own (PA – 14 states...FL and UTAH 30+ with some variance between them)

"Ryan gives them early release

Otherwise known as the "cocked" hat trick.
a: Abolish the Death Penalty
b: Raise the income tax
c: Release the FOID CARD names
d: Tax retirement income at 5%
e: Elect RahmB'o
What else have the voters brought upon us?
Make sure as police you give them the instant death penalty if they choose that route...
Yeah. This is the demonrat way. Lie, steal, connive, anything for the welfare bound, the non-worker, the addled and addicted, the illegal alien, the thug and lawbreaker, the atheist and evil.
Nothing for the common good, it's all about the cheap vote that continues their license to steal.
In crook county the workers continue to believe that it's all OK as long as they get their crumbs, their "spot", their county or city job.
"Don't make waves, kid" they bleat, "nothing's gonna change, just support the right guy".
They accept the phone call, the wink and nod, the "merit" appointments, the morons and imbeciles couched in the necessity of "diversity", the upside down world where the violent and lawless are coddled and protected and those trying to protect the average working citizens are villified.
Keep buying the tickets, keep contributing to your "19th ward" sociopaths, keep it up.
Nice job older generation. Great example. Thanks.
You let the fucking worm into the apple bin and wonder why all you have now is rotten slop.
I swear to G-D if this pathetic, quivering, weak assed piece of shit shows up at our memorial, and we do ANYTHING besides, en masse, turn our backs, we freaking deserve what we get.
God help us.. Arm and protect yourselves because it will get worse and this is only the beginning. I wish I could lateral transfer to either Nevada or California. I will leave this rotten state of Illinois in a heart beat.
Mr. Quinn, you make me so SICK and I wonder how can you sleep at night?
He is such a doofus and a moron to boot. After all the years of dicking around with the murderer of Janine Nicarico because he wouldn't plead guilty due to not wanting a death sentence, they spend billions probably to try him, he gets found guilty and is sentenced to death and this asshole commutes it to life in prison... Can that idiot governer pay back the tax payers for the costs incurred in just that one case? doubtful.
Maybe these whimpy assed politicians should be worring about the rights and whats right for crime victims not the shit birds who do the crime.
"But state Sen. John Millner (R-Carol Stream) is among those believing that the death penalty should remain in the state.
Millner, who has pushed for more training for police in homicide investigations, said the death penalty is a powerful tool for law enforcement and should be kept for the most heinous crimes. Victims of crimes and their families also should be heard on the issue, he said."
One of the issues that Mr. Millner has discussed is the instances where scumbag kidnappers have only told where the victims can be found either dead or alive only if the death penalty is off the table. That is no longer an option for prosecutors.
"The governor today quietly invited death penalty opponents to a private bill signing ceremony at his Capitol office scheduled for late Wednesday morning."
---
But none of the family members or survivors of police officer killings or home invasions or armed robberies gone way bad. No Gold Star family members were invited.
Just the liberal scum who wrinkle up their nose at the mere mention of guns or the death penalty but staunchly defend their right to butcher the unborn.
Something is wrong here, very wrong.
I would propose to all abortion advocates, no more conservative challenges over abortion if they stop their opposition to the ultimate penalty for those who murder, rape, rob and pillage. Fair enough?
Mayor Richard Daley and Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel were split today on abolishing the death penalty in Illinois.
"It's the right thing to do. I'm glad he's made that decision," Emanuel said. "It's a different day."
But Daley, a former Cook County state’s attorney, reiterated his support for the death penalty. “You know my position, I’ve never changed my position on that,” he said.
Gov. Bait-n-switch strikes again! He better not show his lying face at the next police funeral!
What an affront to civilization that the traitor Quinn would dare to free from the needle Dion Banks, who slaughtered an innocent woman in front of her own children in the parking lot of Ford City to support his heroin habit. I hope the gates of hell are wide open when Dion welcomes Pat to his just reward.
tell all your relatives to get an FOID card and carry concealed regardless of law
it's your life , don't become a victim in crook county sanctuary
city of chitcago
Just plain awful for the families of loved ones who were murdered. Unbelievable. Come to IL and kill, you will get your 3 squares and a bed for at least 20 years in our prison and then get let out to do again. Shameful.
Birds of a Feather
Ryan gives them early release
Quinn gives them death dispensation
Daley gives them city jobs

You couldn't have said it any better.
This is not only Quinn, but Madigan and Cullerton. Lisa Madigan needs to publish their address in the Sun Times and Tribune. Then all of the citizens with no FOID cards can find them.
Sorry the people havent spoken. Crook County spoke. along with 2 other miniscule counties out of 102.
As as for Mr Potato Head, what else would you expect?
I really dont believe that our tax money should be spent on keeping someone alive that has committed a henious crime. But then again, the democrats are paid from tax money.
Watch the costs! There will never be a plea bargain again. Every case will go to trial. Whats the worst they can get, life? Gonna cost millions of dollars extra each year.
All you idiots, keep voting democratic....

Quinn will be invited to attend the Illinois Police Officers Memorial because he is the highest ranking contitutional officer in the state. Whether he will accept and appear is another story.
I feel that EVERY officer attending should turn their back to him when he is speaking. He does not deserve our respect.
George Ryan put the moratoriam on the dealth penalty to stave off media heat from Sec of State scandal. The press was closing in on him; that move got them off his back. All of a sudden "the death penalty in Illinois" became headline news....not George Ryan and the Sec of State scandal.
Bald-fuck Quinn is doing the same thing by abolishing death penalty. State pensions are less than 40% funded, AND the Feds are looking into a recent bond auction to fund those pensions that could have violated federal securities regs.
Illinois is a sinking ship.
With the stroke of a pen, bald-prick is an MTV rock star and a hero in the eyes of the local and national media. The state's fiscal crisis is officially on the back burner.
Baldy will milk it now, he'll be going coast to coast on the news circuit, Oprah, Joy Behar, Dr Oz, etc; he's probably a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
This is nothing but politics at work here. Just shameful when you consider the monsters on death row that he commuted to life.

Thank you for articulating what I am unable to.
The scum times article about the last person executed in Il goes on to state that the offender "cut off the victim's breast with a piano wire."
In what world does that person deserve any type of amnesty? These animals no longer have any consequences to their savage actions. There is absolutely no reason to stay in this state anymore.
Well no point in having something if you're not going to use it. With that in mind, you might as well get rid of all the gun laws in Illinois because I've failed to see where they are used to prosecute anyone.
So if you're in prison for life, and you kill a prison guard, your penalty is....what?
Not a cop....
You are a disgrace to Fenwick High School, Quinn--you piece of shit.
Gov. Quinn stated he will decide the issue with his conscience. Wrong, he needs to make a decision with common sense, not feelings. Man up. The death penalty is a deterrent and necessary. Besides its a deterrent, we dont follow thru in IL anyway!!
The Democrats always court the Criminal Vote, because they do vote.
They don't go after the police vote because cops don't vote. Did you? Did your partner vote?
We should all vote in the ward runoff elections and vote out all the Daley incumbants.
So if you're in prison for life, and you kill a prison guard, your penalty is....what?
Not a cop....
