Impersonator Story Pans Out

We guess it was true after all:

• The South Side teenager who made national headlines for impersonating a Chicago Police officer and patrolling the streets as a 14-year-old is in trouble with the law again.

  Vincent Richardson was only a minor when he sauntered into the Grand Crossing District station in a uniform over two years ago, duping cops in an embarrassing stunt that led to disciplinary action within the department.

  But the troubled teen, now 17, has been charged as an adult for his May 10 arrest for felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

This would seem to be a violation of his probation:

• Juvenile Court Judge Andrew Berman sentenced Richardson to three years’ probation in July 2009 for possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

2010, 2011, 2012. Yup. Missed it by a year. Then there's this (from the Tribune article):

• A few months later he was sentenced to juvenile prison for five years after pleading guilty to shoving his mother and stealing a relative's Cadillac.

Five years? But he's out in two? And this time with a gun? Let's see...looks like Judge Berman gets a bit of the blame along with Anita and her office. What the fuck does it take to have a criminal serve out an actual sentence handed down by a judge in this county? What if this jagoff decided to use the pistol instead of trying to hide it? Who's going to explain to the family of the dead citizen or dead copper what this obviously disturbed and intent-on-mayhem jagoff was doing free in the first place?

Oh, and to the Tribune and Sun Times writers? You're welcome. Now do something with it you asshats. Generate some outrage over coddling criminals from cradle to grave.
