Why the Courts are F#$%ed
Here's how the Cook County Court System operates....and probably 99% of people don't pay attention enough to realize what's going on:
- Michael Gentry has received two year’s probation for burglarizing a Wicker Park home in August 2017. Notoriously, Gentry was located by police because he took time to stop and masturbate in a nearby gangway after breaking into the home, according to prosecutors.
Judge Lauren Edidin approved the plea deal that reduced Gentry’s charge to attempted burglary. His sentence will run concurrent to another two-year probation term that he received for head-butting a glass window in the Leighton Criminal Courthouse last year.
A Wicker Park resident called police around noontime August 13, 2017, after he saw Gentry enter his home and steal an iPad in t But instead of he 2000 block of West Le Moyne.
That isn't "attempted" anything. He successfully entered a dwelling and successfully completed a theft, i.e. Burglary. But instead of getting prison time, where he might actually be deterred from committing additional crimes, he gets probation... and is free to commit more "attempted burglaries."

Well how about on paydays we attempt to pay asswipe judges like this and see if they get the message! Yeah like that has any chance of happening in CROOK COUNTY COURT!
So anybody know, under the criminal code of cook county, just how many actual burglaries get plead down to attempt and just how many attempts do you have to have before you go directly to jail do not pass go...LOL...its a game right!
Does anybody know if they have had murders that they plead down to attempt and gave probation? That shouldn't have happened but WTF if they give probation or supervision on an actual burglary, I would say its possible using that mentality!!!
I don't think that Burglary for the sole purpose of financial gain is what this creep's motive was. Him masterbating in a gangway right afterwards could very well be because the whole point of the Burglary was because of some sexual hangup. Some sex offenders start off like this until they eventually break into homes and commit rape and sometimes murder. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Unless you like court time, why even bother any more? These low life’s commit whatever crimes they want and don’t get punished for it. All in the name of “understanding” and political agendas. There’s a well known saying I’m going to switch around to fit this. It’s pretty scary how well it applies....”When the city is drowning in the filth and crime that it let perpetuate its streets, it’s people will look up and shout “save us!!” And I’ll look down on them and whisper, “No.””
Let them face the evils that they’ve released on this city.
Was going to comment kids but I just got this big urge to rub one out! Excuse me!
Meh—JVD’s goose is cook. Alan Dershowitz said he looked at the case and in case of using LQMD had a knife and JVD feared for his or other offices safety; does not justify 16 shots or shooting him while he was on the ground.
But JVD could blame the department for shit training and shit work environment that failed to provide the option to seek proper mental care... if Alan Dershowitz is telling you to play these cards— I would do exactly that— and have all the assholes from Ram to Escamonte give testimony at the trial... maybe Ram would pull a few strings to have this relocated to a better venue
Until an armed citizen puts a bullet through his face.
What was he jerking off about ?
Did he have the daughters panties ?
Let's just wait til he does something really terrible.
The system and it's operators will be held accountable one day by the people.
It is the judges that should be removed from office but in Cook County that has never happened. Never. The system is designed for that purpose.
Burglary? If a resident is present in the residence, at the time of the illegal entry and subsequent unauthorized removal of property; isn't that a Home Invasion, which is a Class X Felony? Is this unexplained and unwarranted leniency part of the Restorative Justice theme, that there are too many people of color in American jails and prisons? Even Quitter Rahm's wife showed this leniency, when she refused to aggressively pursue the prosecution of her son's dope dealer. It appears that this is some sort of Democrat Party White Guilt, most prevalent in Cook County, which is run by Black Democrats. I am quite confident, that if this had taken place in DuPage or McHenry County, the sentences would have been consecutive, and long term. If there was ever a reason to be armed while residing in Chicago, this case is a Clear example. With cops intimidated to the point that they are reluctant to stop anyone, and Courts reluctant to incarcerate felons; citizens are on their own for protection and justice! I SAY THIS WITH AN ELEMENT OF SADNESS, BUT THE REALITY IS THAT IN CHICAGO AND COOK COUNTY, YOUR LIFE AND PROPERTY ARE OF LESS VALUE, THAN IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. Stay Safe and Strong. Baby "G"
Identified by victim and DNA at scene. Rock solid case. My guess is the victim did not want to testify in court and they had to make this plea deal. If the victim doesn’t show up at trial they are forced to nolle the charges and it’s basically a not guilty.
Wow. Now I have truly heard it all .
Anybody know how the Polish girl is doing that was beaten & raped by that mouth breather who was released after committing another sex crime???!
Well, SCC, you see - the demented reasoning goes like this...
Ole boy ripped off that iPad and took off, but had attended church just a few days ago, and had a bit of a moral dilemma regarding the theft. So while he paused to reconsider, he noticed a hot girl in the neighborhood and decided to rub one out to set his mind straight...
And then the cops showed up and arrested him. If only they'd given him a few more minutes, he'd have put the ipad back and all would be right in the Universe again...
Fortunately the Judge saw the Light and decided to give him probation. Now he can go on to finish Rocket Scientist school without a black mark on his record.
And they put a Police Officer on trial for putting one of these pos down. They should be giving him a metal but no they crucify him on the cross of political correctness.
Toni wants to make sure that black and brown people are not incarcerated.
Kimmy promised Toni that she would do all she could to keep those black and brown people out of jail.
So Kimmy has now her OWN interpretation of Illinois State Law.
Which is why we have people waking the streets that should be jailed.
A victim or two or more need to sue the Cook county States Atty.
It would seem that judge Lauren Edidin is the real jack off not the poor misunderstood defendant.
Break into my house while I'm home and I will see he does NOT leave alive!
Fuck Chicago and Cook County Courts!
Enough is enough!
Street justice is the way to go, like in the Old Wild West!
Crime in the Old West was less because everybody had a weapon!
The democrat strategy is a sword with two edges.
The democrat mentality is that their strategy cuts only in their favor, as in, a single edge.
This single edge is the equal application of the law, as enforced, upon all events of a crimnal law violating nature occuring.
The adjudications subsequent to the equal enforcements of said criminal law violations are rendering the democrat strategy effective, only as long as the enforcement of criminal law remains equally applied.
The demcrat strategy is rendered nulled and void when law enforcement, utilizing discretion of office, cease enforcing violation of criminal law on a situational basis.
Three theoretical examples:
1. Verified by criminal history mutt is found deceased. Tentative apparent cause of bodily disconecction by violent means. Determination: Case closed. No further law enforcement action required.
2. Dispatched to Shots Fired. Upon arrival, multiple gunshot victims present, both deceased and not yet deceased. Further inquires produce little to no informations deemed helpful to advancing investigation. Determination: Case pending further developements.
3. 911 call center receives multiple reports of shots fired. Dispatched arrive, search area designated, observe nothing significant to dispatched purpose, return to beat patrol. Determination: 19p.
Regadless of what events have actually occured, the edge of the sword the democrats think does not exist, the edge that cuts the democrat deep, is the edge that the consistent application of law enforcement discretion can supply.
The citizens will provide the sharpness of that edge.
Those who do not, will remain future slaughtering potentials.
Those who do, will be the edge of the sword that cuts the democrats to shreds.
The law enforcement officer is the decider and determiner of this.
Always.
Ponder.
I am willing to bet the farm that the "victim" probably has a "hate has no home here" and a "black lives matter" signs out on the front yard. But of course, no blue lives matter signs.
Do not RETAIN any Judges
just say NO on all retentions of judges.
except for Maura Slattery who gets a bad rap from the press but actually sentences criminals.
go figure......
Vote straight GOP and no on every judge
I thought masturbating in a North side gangway was a team sport.
Not a cop. This is why people are getting brutalized robbed and killed here. Any one of us could be the next victim.
To call Gentry a degenerate is an insult to degenerates.
Probation is for the innocent.
Another candidate for a CCW holder!
had i known how easy it is to be a criminal defense attorney. i'd have chosen a different vocation and dream of being a man in black.
no white guilt for me. ever.
and by the way, fuck all you daleys to hell. the cancer you wrought on this city will never be cured.
I believe the rodent was marking his territory. Then the judge marked hers.
I pinched a guy for car burglary once. He fit a description the witness gave and when I stopped him I saw the items, ID'd by the victim, in the bushes near his feet. At the station he bragged about how breaking into cars was his specialty, as his sheet attested to. The judge let him walk. In his mind the fact that I didn't see the shit in his hands was "reasonable doubt" and he didn't find his incriminatory statement credible. Remember that next time your car is broken into.
Fuck it, after that I just started going to the hole with the rest of the watch.

No you haven’t.
If I am correct, many years ago part of the statute of Burglary included the phrase "under the cover of darkness."
If that were true today, Burglary detectives would never work days.
" Attempted Burglary"...Does that give the insurance company a way to deny any claim ?
I recall back in my college days I had a professor of criminology who told us that burglary and sex are often intertwined. He talked about burglars committing sexual acts or defecating inside the victim's homes . I thought that this was funny and I doubted him. That is until I came on the job and saw it first hand for myself.

I checked the internet several times for this story and cannot find it. Do you have a link?
As memory serves, a home invasion occurs when entry is made in a “riotous and tumultuous manner”.
Does this surprise anyone in this shitbird paradise we live in. I thought residential burglary was a non probationable offense. Is there a ucr for choking your chicken.
Isn’t a burglary upgraded to a robbery, when someone is home? If the occupant is injured, it’s a home invasion! How many case reports were changed to criminal trespass, or theft from building? How many burglaries were not processed by E.T.s? It’s basic crime killing 101.
If Prickwrinkle should become mayor, she should be held personally responsible for all the crime in the city! We know that won’t happen. Different set of rules for the royal, privileged, democrat bosses!
The blame for this rests with the ASA!!! ASA reduce the charge to move the case off the docket. The judge goes along on the plea deal. This is the direct result of a ASA who do not want to try cases. They are afraid of their own shapes. The ones who weren't, tried cases and enforced the sentencing laws. Unfortunately, they were "asked" to leave by FOXX and company.
...and I am sure he has since updated and improved hi M.O. ... no more stopping to masturbate
I think half of them are on someone's payroll. Either a law firm or the gangs, how else can you explain what they're doing it makes no sense. I know most liberals have no sense but this is a whole new level.
Sorry SCC, off topic for sure:
Alan Dershowitz is most certainly an expert in the law, you have to give him that. The question is "has Alan Dershowitz ever been in a comparable situation". Those of us that have served our country in war and those of us who have been in a comparable situation on the street, know just how fast one can empty a fully loaded 9mm clip.
There is a term that explains exactly what happened that evening. It's called "in the heat of battle". When a Policeman fires at an offender, it is NOT a thought process, you revert to your training and act!
Some of you remember when we trained shooting at Soldier field.? (1970's) We were told to put the expended rounds in our pocket, so as not to litter the venue. That is until they started finding dead Policemen and Troopers with 6 empty brass casings in their hand. Most of us at that time carried revolvers.
THEN they attempted to retrain us to just let the brass fly! Too little to late, under extreme duress one doesn't think, the brain reverts to previous training, as in this situation!
Remember that term LEO's: "IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE". I've been wrong before (lots), please just keep that term in mind, it just may make the reasonable doubt we are hoping for in this upcoming trail.
God bless you all, PLEASE stay safe!
How about narcotic cases when the asshole judge says no probable cause and he tells the defendant I better not see you in my court room again. Empty threats by pussy judges. Let me put this defendant in front of your house in lake in the hills you pussy ass judges!
I caught a Burglar on a Construction site, He had the property in his car trunk and burglary tools,He had 50 prior arrest's including 6 felony conviction's,He pleaded guilty to attempt and got a year on house arrest.
I believe we have a judicial problem starting at the very top, Chief Judge Tim Evans, he orders judges under his command to do such things as lower bonds. When judges refuse they are removed from bond court. However in cases such as this the prosecution, under Kim Foxx presented this deal to Judge Edidin. In Cook County rarely has a judge refused a plea deal agreed upon by both the state and defense.
This has been a common practice since Foxx took over. Reduce charges to a crime that does not require jail time, have the defendants plead guilty, and give them another probation. This avoids black/brown people in jail (Preckwinkle self admitted goal), show a high conviction rate by a new states attorney (will be a platform that Foxx runs on in her re-election bid), and it looks like a incompetent ASA can quickly dispose of a case with little work. EVERYONE WINS EXCEPT, the good hard working people, the tax paying people, and the VICTIMS of these criminals.
KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT and this is what you will keep getting.

Why? The states attorney is the one who suggests this plea deal. The judge then goes along with it 99.9% of the time. This is done because the state may have a weak point in their case or they simply want to avoid a trial and the time spent to conduct one. Not the judges fault in this case
That’s Toni, Tim, Kim and Tom using Kim’s “restorative justice” to lower the jail/prison population.
"... he gets probation... and is free to commit more "attempted burglaries."
As well as engage in celebratory masturbation.
...and the judge wanted to watch him beat off next time. That's part of the deal.

Really, maybe you should ask former Judge Lawrence Passarella about that. We got him out of office.
Restorative justice in action.
Judge Lauren Edidin approved the plea deal that reduced Gentry’s charge to attempted burglary.
Her verdict is in her surname Judge Lauren "Hedidntdonuffin"
A vehicle was stopped for a traffic violation (PC). During the stop, the man reaches to an specific area where gun and drugs were located later on in plain view. Proubable cause was found in in court hearing. But in the trial at 26/cal, The man is found not guilty and the asa said the officers did a great job testifying, and said because the officers did not see the man holding the gun he is not guilty, when he was making furtive movements towards that area as he was attempting to conceal what officers feared to be a weapon, and it was a weapon and controlled substance, but who in their right mind would hold a gun as the officers approach, the man did what most criminals do hide the evidence. Judges at 26/CAL are throwing away all cases like they don’t care. I keep hearing more officers loosing their cases (good cases). And when they are found guilty they get probation, supervision, house arrest, but no jail time. what’s the point of police doing their job?
Probation is supposed to mean you are under a microscope and any arrest for p/c is a violation resulting in back up time. This soft judge let's criminals continue to victimize us with impunity. Bullshit! Remember that when retention votes are made.
When these judges, attorneys and rich people feel the wrath of the savage and their posh lifestyles are threatened, things will finally start to change around here. They'll be launching these people and doling out harsh prison sentences when this problem stretches beyond Chicago and into the rich suburbs and just maybe the system and the media will be more police friendly.
It's called Chicago Values, AKA Restorative Justice. Thanks DemocRats for ruining this City, County and State.
Why is everyone so upset. You all know there are too many people of color in jail now. So the have to let them go. Your job is to see that no more people of color have to face any judges. See how easy it was to fix that problem. Look the other way, turn the other way and be sure to obey all traffic laws. No chasing in cars or on foot. God forbid never pull your gun. Just slow roll fill out reports collect checks. The pen is mightier then the sword so bury them in paperwork.
The judges all suck, part of the democratic machine that doo what they are told.
can't be penalizing the guilty, not in cook county
A woman killed an off-duty police officer in 1994 while he was taking a shower because he didn't want to be with her anymore she only got three and a half years!!!!! To make matters worse she goes on to be hail this some sort of hero for domestic violence and writes a book
What about a judge who informs an offender with a warrant when he exits the court room, the police will be waiting out there to arrest him. The judge said he felt he needed to disclose that to the offender. He didn't want the offender to think he was getting jumped when the police arrested him. He even told the offender that the police are probably waiting around the corner. Branch 23-2. Wouldn't this put an officer's safety at risk? Guess the judge didn't care about officer safety. Outrageous.
this is because judges don't want to offend the politicians.
I don’t see how you blame judges when it’s the State’s Attorney office reducing the charges. Judges can’t prevent the state from reducing or dropping charges. Talk to Kim Foxx. I have no idea why the media/press is giving her a free pass on all this. Except that the media loves all these progressive liberal assholes.

Because the false arrest lawsuits make the leech attorneys very wealthy and the greylord type judges receive thier campaign contributions in the end, next case please...
Ok, we got Lauren Edidin's name the next time the judicial retention ballot comes up. Is anyone keeping track of the states attorney that pitched this deal and obviously approved by the Preckwinkie hack that has chiclets for teeth.

Prison isn’t a deterrent for any of these mutts that have already been in. They have a recording studio, pizza parties, cable tv, etc. All prison does is keep them in a place where they can’t break into houses.
And I’m fine with that. Start making jail a real cheap operation to run. Eliminate the food luxuries. Instill mandatory, not optional, work duties. No TV. No internet. No recording studios. We could open up all the closed wings of the jail and fill it up. Same with the prisons. Make people serve the entire time, for the actual crimes they commit. Only then MIGHT jail be a deterrent. But at the least this filth will be off the streets.

Great comment! I lmfao
If I am correct, many years ago part of the statute of Burglary included the phrase "under the cover of darkness." No, that is common law burglary. Statutory burglary does not nor did ever require this element. See Ohlin, 2016 and Dressler, 2012.
