Arrests in Murder
And once again, the only thing Special Ed that has said that makes sense, rears its head again:
- Derren Sorrells, 22, and Darwin Sorrells Jr., 26, were charged Sunday with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. ordered both held without bail, saying they were a danger to society.
[...]
Both Sorrells brothers are convicted felons who were on parole at the time of the shooting — prime examples of the judicial system's inability to stop habitual offenders, Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a Sunday news conference.
"This tragedy isn't just noteworthy because Ms. Aldridge has a famous family member," Johnson said. "Rather, it shows that the cycle of arrests, convictions and parole isn't changing the behavior of those who repeatedly commit crimes.
And what had they been charged with that led to their early release?
- Darwin Sorrells, of the 7500 block of South Wentworth Avenue, served three years in state prison for 2013 convictions of receiving, possessing or selling a stolen vehicle and for unlawful use or possession of a firearm by a felon, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records. He was paroled in early February.
He was convicted in 2011 of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He was sentenced to five years on that charge. He also has felony convictions from 2007 for aggravated battery in a public place and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.
Derren Sorrells, of the 6000 block of South Indiana Avenue, served four years in state prison for 2012 convictions of possession of a stolen vehicle and violating the terms of his electronic monitoring. He was paroled Aug. 12, according to the IDOC website.
Gee, someone on parole again?
Someone posted in the comment section that this was Darwin's SIXTH gun arrest. And the "day-for-day" credits that result in a mere 50% of a sentence being served really has to stop. Repeat gun offenders should be headed to Federal Court at every opportunity with no exceptions, with a floor of ten years in prison and a third strike provision resulting in a life sentence.
And Special Ed uttered the second truth of his tenure:

And Special Ed uttered the second truth of his tenure:
- When asked about the difference in solving Aldridge's killing within days compared with the overwhelming majority of homicides that don't end in arrests, Johnson pointed to the community as being more cooperative because of to the high-profile nature of the case.
"You know why we captured them right away? Because the community helped us with it," Johnson said. "Police officers very rarely witness crime, especially murder or aggravated battery with a firearm. … We take every death in Chicago seriously, but we need the community's help to bring these cases to a successful resolution."
Nice job to all involved.

Maybe soon enough Gov. Rauner IDOC chief will start being held accountable for the people they parole.... Let's not forget in 2010 every CPD officer killed was killed by a parolee or probationer!!!!!!!
Start holding idoc accountable for the shit they put back on street
If every neighborhood would give up their killers and creeps, crime would cease real fast.
He credits the community WOW!!!! The Community had zero to do with arrest. As a matter of fact the "cummunity" was yelling at arresting officers "Fuck12". Great Police work.....that is all!!!
Colin Kapearnek should give Dwyane Wade a call and ask him who really is the problem the hood, shit heads or the police.
Chicago doesn't have a criminal problem, it has a judicial problem, judges that won't lock criminals up and keep them locked up.
Fat Eds speechifying about the arrest and his dramatics mean nothing to me. His actions and who he keeps company is all thats burned in my mind.
If you check the IDOC website Illinois has a prison population of 49,000. In a state with 12 million people that is nothing. The liberals and politicians who are crying there are too many people in jail have no idea what hey are talking about. There are NOT enough people in jail!
Darren and Darwin....sounds like momma Sorrels must have been a fan of Bewitched.
Out on parole in 20 no doubt
I wonder if D Wade will wear a police lives matter shirt since his cousins' muderers were caught so quickly. I'm not holding my breath.
Buddy Sorrell on the Dick Van Dyke show was funny as hell. He even had a little cup cake on the side, but he never shot anyone. These losers besmirched the name of Sorrell.
From a citizen reader: This entire matter is the PRECKWINKLE EFFECT. If you believe as Toni there are too many black crminals in jail and they should be out, then you are in part responsible for this sad story and you are NOT one of the ten movers and shakers in Cook County as mentioned in a stupid Chicago Magazine similarly titled. (She was number one)
If you have criminals on parole, supervision, bond, ankle monitoring, who are fugitives, you live and deal with the kind of violence the aforementioned bring to the community. Or you die as this poor woman did. The Sorrell brothers are as reported career criminals and look how they are treated. They belong as career inmates in DOC except in Cook County, the police arrest them and then justice goes to hell in the Cook County justice system thanks to the Preckwinkle Effect. This has to change from Toni Preckwinkle through the ranks of the courts down to the States Attorney, all Cook County rackets.
The police have done their job over and over again but it is the County that drops the ball. The only good thing is they again bring the Sorrell bothers to justice with the help of security camera evidence and some witnesses who dropped a dime. Yes, snitching. Another way to clean up the community but I can see when the County justice system fails, how dangerous it is for snitching. I guess it is also a good thing the Sorrell brothers gave it up and some policeman did not have to drop a cap on these princes of the city. Thank you Chicago Police, another great job.
Thank you to the Illinois Parole Review Board who are also responsible for bringing crime to the community. And finally, thanks to the Madigan family for failing to set up statutes that address the kind of people who are career criminals like the Sorrell brothers. Funny, other than some of the cops, all democrats in the whole process. Who again is the law and order candidate, Trump or Mrs. Clinton?
Good thing we're saving all that money with those early release programs.
In Florida we have 102,000 insividuals in the state prison system. Many with life terms deemed habitual offenders who have done far less damage than these idiots. Illinois progressive leadership doesn't have the balls, or the money to lock theae violent offenders up for long sentences.

CHUCKLE! It's Rauners fault. Too funny.
Everyone is talking about keeping these people locked up but who is gonna pay for it. We have to put the death penalty back to work. Bad people have got to go they are a burden on society.
"Both Sorrells brothers are convicted felons who were on parole at the time of the shooting"
Shocking!! Classic Chicago Court Failure.......
Morey Amsterdam. He was one funny guy.
"Darwin" ... that's actually pretty funny. Regardless--nice job, CPD!!
Your welcome Dwayne Wade, but no need for thanks.....oh wait you didn't say thank you, that's OK the CPD is use to it, we know it's a thankless job. To all involved in this case great work be proud. From a brother in blue.
How about D wag, Le bro, Marsh mellow, and Krap dic all get together again and call it what it really is.
It's not gun violence, the guns aren't running around killing anyone!
It's Gang Violence, it's Black on Black Violence, it's straight up Criminal Violence.
Damn MSM and their play on words, Gun Violence.......my handgun hasn't opened fire on anyone in all the years I've own it.
Stays tucked into my leather holster just like it's told and only comes out when I allow it to!
Craptastic celebrities who have entourages and security peeps with them every where they go, they know nothing about walking among normal people! When is the last time you saw one of these over paid shitheads in one of the supposed blighted, oppressed communities?
D wag should stepped up and taken 4 babies off the Illinois govmint payroll.........
Where's the media whore Father Faker, Al Shapshifter, Jesse Jackass, etc?
Oh yeah, BLM when they can cover up the actual reasons the crimes are being committed.
Where's that pimple on the communities ass Ja Mal D Green at these days?
Shouldn't he be pulling the microphone away from D wag and speaking?
Hey Eddie, call Ja Mal, he can announce what a great job you're doing now!
Solved one murder and you say it had nothing to do with the celebrity of the family......B.S.
The community had zero to do with it. It was officers from the 003rd district some good detectives,with a big assist from parkway gardens security.I know firsthand because I was there!
wonder if D Wade will wear a police lives matter shirt since his cousins' muderers were caught so quickly. I'm not holding my breath.

Guess again, D Wade is a huge police hater. He gave an interview about his time growing up in Chicago and how he has to talk to his kids about how to interest with the police. You can hear the racism "us and them," "our community," etc. throughout the interview.
Rahmmie , Special Ed should endorse republican Chris Phanuche for cook county states attorney ,
Fox is one that preaches to many people of color in jail .
Why do so many democratic woman dress and look like men ?
Don't look for federal help with anything...it is not coming: We are being told now that if you lock up a gang banger for 20 or 30 years you ruin his life
Paul Ryan to begin work in the fall on "Criminal Justice Reform"
“We’ve learned that there are better ways to dealing with these problems than locking up someone for 20 or 30 years. You end up ruining their lives, ruining their families, hurting communities. And then when they try to reenter into society, they’re destitute.”

Great Job Detectives!!
would like to hear how "the community helped".....if true---it could serve as an example to all citizens that they can make a difference. but lets face it, the heat was on from the top to put this case to rest and they pulled out all the stops.
I'd love to see a real investigative reporter take a close look at the management company in charge of Parkway Gardens (O-Block) at 63/MLK. It's a fully-subsidized housing complex (700 units) that just got a $100mil renovation in 2013 (and because it's on the National Register of Historic Places part of that was paid with federal tax credits). It would be interesting to see just how outside of their HUD contract they're operating - there's no way they're performing background checks on renters, for one. The O-Block Twitter feed alone should be a flag, let alone these two who were 'protecting' their turf.
One question and a comment from a NON officer:
Question: How in the heck did they find these two so quick when it seems that most shootings/killings go unsolved? I would venture to GUESS that the neighborhood people actually COOPERATED with the police (because Wayde is a star/hero to them) unlike "everyday" shootings when "nobody saw nothing".
Comment: I heard on the news (WLS Radio) this morning that the one killer with the ankle bracelet wasn't wearing it because people who are court ordered to wear one can TAKE IT OFF for up to 6 hours at a time. If that is true, then all is truly lost....
Rich in Burr Ridge, IL
PS - stay safe all of you.
While Dems are hammering that guns are being brought in from Red State Indiana, what they don't mention is who and why the folks shoot or get shot.
The overlooked fact of no swift punishments, lenient judges and prosecutors, no police power and a pandering mayor makes target practice a nonchalant ghetto activity that is expected. So easy and frequent that daylight is no longer a deterrent.
Maybe this Wade case will gather a news event at the trial like the Hudson murders (wait for the targeted victim to be a no-show).
But then again, the Brothers Sorrell had no Intent and Acted Extremely Careless.
It's a precedence set by a highly publicized former Chicagoan.
It's truly the Chicago Way™.
And an empty Jail makes for a huge patronage budget for the Friends of PrickWrinkles too.

Chicago DOESN'T have a criminal problem???? You so silly.
"Someone posted in the comment section that this was Darwin's SIXTH gun arrest"
Obviously we need more common sense gun laws!
Ankle bracelet under IDOC used to be "no movement." Person had to call in and ask permission to go anywhere at all, was given a fixed time period to get there that made no allowance for use of public transportation, late buses, &c., then had to call in from the wireline phone of the place at their destination. Even going to the parole office itself for something was a major project.
"Looking for a job?" S__t. You would have had to call them and give them the name of the employer, they would verify it and then give permission to go there and only there and straight back.
Power went out in storm, person walked past metal that blocked signal (aluminum siding, anything) and the phone would be ringing right away. Had to recite a certain line to them -- name, IDOC number, etc. the same way every time for voice recognition. Battery on the thing started running down, threatening phone calls at all hours until they finally sent some "technician" who hardly knew + from - to fix it.
This was for older, low-risk first offender. Look at how it runs today for known gang members with repeat violent felonies, "Chicago's very own" Street Life Brothers. "Out the door from 8 to 4?"
What the hell did they DO here? Unbelievable.
Wait a minute! Where is Jamal Green? Where is the BLM Group? Chicken shit punks is what BLM is about.
Some how according to "Black Lives Matter" terrorist group, this is the Police fault!
Fuck d-wade!! He's worth what 200 mil and his cousin lives n projects!! Wow!!
Fuck him!!

Never heard of that one before. The ones I know about are tamperproof, put on and they (should) stay on for the duration of the supervision. Not like a wristwatch, there is no buckle! Other security features as well.
Of course, any real hardhead can just cut the thing off and go run wild, but that will set it off.
...but why bother if they are allowed to run loose all day long anyway? One of these characters had a previous parole violation already, exactly for violating the terms of the electronic monitoring, but he STILL apparently got this break.
Unreal.
I have seen party pictures posted to the Web, bangers with bandannas over their faces, blunts, booze, and guns, and one leg of their sweats pulled up to show the bracelet, show how bad they are. Somehow, I don't think they're taking any of this seriously.
"Looking for a job." >pfft<
But everyone is talking about "Whinefest" and how he was robbed of $3...yea sure he was robbed.

$100 million dollars to spruce up Death City.
Caracas, Rio have favelas this bad, but they get them without spending a nickel. No sewage system, no running water, and some spots really do have "community policing;" separate little forces run by the government in theory, but in reality just extensions of the drug gangs, funneling weapons and equipment to them and being paid by them.
I guess that's what BLM is after here.
"The O-Block Twitter feed alone should be a flag..."
Hundreds milling around on a hot night -- always gets me how the grass vanishes down to bare packed dirt, $100 million or no -- waiting for something to bust loose.
...and it always does.
Those sound like some really serious crimes those brothers were in prison for. Doesn't make sense though, because anytime I read about a crime that involves a repeat offender the comments section is flooded with people who insist that most of the people in prison are in there for getting busted with a little bit of weed.
The NFL cousin blamed the murder on racism. Dwayne, how is it racist when black folks murdered you cousin. This racist nonsense is getting really old. Black people are the most racist group I have ever encountered. The blame Dwayne is in your mirror.
(OT) watched the video music awards last night anti-police Beyoncé showing up with moms of thugs who attempted to kill police then during her performance the dancers falling with red lights shining on them being shot by police what a disgrace I know you will tell me why do you even waste your time watching that shit show? When your have kids you have to see what they are watching no wonder kids are so screwed up today!
Some how according to "Black Lives Matter" terrorist group, this is the Police fault!
BLM isn't far off the mark..with the one guy who wore a monitor. Why does the CCSD give these people on ELM such a long leash?
It's just stupid, and an invitation to those who should be UNDER HOUSE ARREST to go out and commit more crimes, which many of them do. It needs to stop. If those out on ELM violate the terms, back they go into physical custody. No more coddling when they violate the CCSD's rules.
WLS gave out bad information. The bands used by IDOC cannot be removed without cutting. However, someone can leave on unauthorized movement for about 7 hours before a warrant is issued and if he comes back into "range" before the warrant is issued the clock gets reset. Even if a warrant is issued it is standard practice to divert the warrant And the crook gets a free ride home. I don't think IDOC has ever pressed charges on crooks that "cut and run". If you had any idea how many warrants got diverted you would be dumbstruck.
Parole providing repeat business for coppers everywhere.
Scc, if we are being called out on the stand by these judges, then why dont we start mentioning all the judges names who have given these gun offenders light sentences instead of harsh.

Eddie invited Trump to come here and show him how to eliminate all this crime, be careful what you ask for his first words may be "your fired" to you rahm and your entire do nothing exempt staff! Then he will march over and tell Toni,Anita and dart "your fired" now that would be change we will believe in go Trump 2016!

Those Moms Of Thugs must be traveling the whole country. First the BLM crap with the Daughters Of Assata at the Super Bowl halftime show, then the Moms at the DNC with Hillary, now the Moms hit the music awards right after the 49ers QB be actin up.
This has become an industry. All based on a false narrative, too.
Innocent lives suffer when criminals are released from jail early or put on home monitoring. Progressivism doesn't care about innocent lives, only the advancement of social engineering all segments of society in order to achieve social justice. If the murder of this lady hadn't happened, it would have happened to someone else.
"Community help?" The camera from across the street had perfect images. I'm sure that didn't hurt.
Trump will state the obvious; you solve the problem by locking up criminals and do not allow them on the street. Or in the White House. Revoke paroles and lock them up. Keep them locked up, no more parole. No more 50/50 time served and then parole. Strengthen laws, sentencing and the bench and States Attorney offices. Beef up the prison system and get tough with the people you need to be tough with. Judges who do not deal with criminals forcefully like that Luckman are finished on the bench. Spend the money to keep criminals locked up. We have already spent money raising many of them. The solution to the problem of street crime in this city is so simple its on the tip of your nose. Look for it. I do not like Trump but it is time for something different and if he does not cut it, he is fired in four years. But I think the change may be worth the gamble.
"Someone posted in the comment section that this was Darwin's SIXTH gun arrest"
Obviously we need more common se
We need stricter gun laws for gang bangers and felons, AND common sense Judges - who should be held accountable for letting these jag offs out of jail or given a lighter sentence.
EJ complains about catch and release in Chicago , Cook County .
EJ is no Sheriff Clarke that fights for the Citizens , speaks out against sanctuary cities and politicians .

CCSD has been refusing to take prisoners in for decades. The old "Catch & Release" program of Yellowstone fame was in place, even before Obigmouth was in office.
Indeed, Black Lies Matter! And yes, they are a domestic terrorist group, hell bent on destroying America from within, following the divider-in-chief's playbook- from the suburbs of Boston, to the streets of Ferguson, Baltimore, Milwaukee...Chief Clarke- help us!
