Good Eyes, Better Memory

  • Two Chicago men are accused of firing guns illegally at a shooting-range because they are convicted felons. Jarvis Bell, 26, and Ricky Jones, 34, appeared before Cook County Judge John Mahoney on felony charges of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

    According to the complaint, Jarvis and Bell were accompanied by a friend with a valid FOID card to the Eagle Sports Range in Oak Forest, around 6:15 p.m. Sept. 7. The prosecutor said the friend rented a weapon for the three to use, and proceeded to the range area. After shooting for a while, the prosecutor said Jarvis, Bell and their friend went back and rented another gun.

    A Chicago police officer familiar with Jarvis and Bell's backgrounds, notified Oak Forest police of the convicted felons' unlawfully handling a gun at the shooting-range on security video cameras, the prosecutor said. Bell and Jarvis were arrested by Chicago police officers on Sept. 23 on felony gun charges. The friend with the valid FOID card was not charged.
The judge was appreciative:
  • Mahoney set bail on the new charge at $20,000.

    "No guns means no guns," Mahoney said.
Let's see what Crimesha does with it.

Mahoney was a Special Prosecutor and Financial Crimes Prosecutor. We worked on a case together and he got the guy 27 years. We spent a few after work hours at Duggan's. He has always been pro-police.

This is blatantly racist. I have seen the mugshots!

Since no White person can be convicted of a felony and denied access to firearms as a result: This is another example of racist policing and probably some kind of entrapment against an innocent man. Hopefully Kim Foxx was be the hero Social Justice needs and decline to further torment this poor blameless felon.

Calling a convicted felon the name "felon" is triggering when someone else does it and hence the ACLU should sue on this behalf for hate speech usage and get a big payday. That is only logical.

Right after Greta Thunberg changes the laws of physics and actual cosmic forces to halt so-called "climate change", we will have to jump onto the issue of ending racism. First things first, but this is on the list - right after free college and free other stuff. Plus even more additional free stuff from the government!

This is going to be great! The future is Socialist er... I mean 'progressive'!

We all know that fel9ns are going to have guns, it is what they do. Glad to see these guys were sharpening their skill set so maybe they will hit what they shoot at. I think there should be target practice in Darts jail to improve their aim. Fewer innocents might b3 harmed if they could all shoot well. They're gonna shoot, so why not let them get good at it.

I think the Laquan incident was bigger than this report gives it credit for. Don't forget, dumb as a boxx of roxx basically ran on "police bad" and everybody knew in MARCH of 16 she was going to be the next SA, so even though she didn't take over until December we all could see the writing on the wall with a lame duck SA in there and a SJW on the way. Then you have precky exploiting, yes, exploiting that death of St. Laquan by strong arming the ME (whom she appoints) to release the autopsy report to the public hmm just at primary time. hmm how many other murders at 26 do we see the autopsy report before a charge is levied? Such bullshit. laquan was doing the 30 yard dash in foxx commercials ffs! So, the video was relased in late 15, precky used it to get her girl in, and the thugs knew in early 16 that Ontie Kimmy was coming and that is when this exploded. So even though she was not "in charge" until Dec of 16, I blame phony tony and ontie kimmie for this too.......and it hasn't gotten any better.

See page 68 of the report, for all you garry mcCarthy fans out there......

The agreement was controversial. Former-Superintendent of the CPD, Garry McCarthy, stated in December 2015 that, “I acquiesced to it because, you know, I’m trying to work with [the ACLU], [and] they’re trying to work with us.”

Why are you crowing over those two?  You could certainly nab hundreds just by going over felons' and associates' social media looking for all the pics they take of themselves and each other with guns they're forbidden to touch.  Judges could revoke their parole on the basis of screenshots.

The felon-in-possession law is also federal, right?  Put this in front of Federal judges and you remove Foxx, Preckwinkle and Lightfoot from the process.

Seriously, if you're not doing something so easy, you're ignoring one of law enforcement's best tools:  the tendency of dumbasses to self-incriminate.

Not even a IL Sanctuary State Red Flag background re-check and purchase history?

The sport of shooting is fun albeit expensive but 3 going in to rent a gun for the purpose of sporting fun or was it try-before-buy?
Three boxes of CCI 9mm retails about $45 w/tax, another $15-20 for range time, $10 for the heater.
Give or take $10, that’s around a $70 outing for someone with an FOID and doesn’t own a pistol, which is about half of what a Taurus or Hi Point in the Used cabinet would cost.
Were the two supposed to be just observers? House should have rules on this.
Gotta wonder, was this some live practice for these two and what we’re the grouping like.

What to expect:
A Cook Cuddled County restoratively justiciable application to TheFullestExtent™️.
Property related administrative complaint rather than criminal and a community misunderstanding.

First, went in and applied when they were still building,scab labor everywhere and and a dime west side girl in low jeans and a high top at the counter.The owner appeared shady and looked like I had seen him as the owner of a west side corner grocery ( looked him up later and I was close). He blew a lot of smoke about food.billiards room and high end gentlemen's type establishment. I retired with a star and two bars and my instructors credentials are top shelf,he paid no attention and couldn't get me out of there fast enough when he found out I was retired from LE.I didn't get offended as I kicked myself for not turning around when I walked in.Found out later he was a shill and the money men are middle eastern with lots of suspicious cash.
Second, the gun range biz in this area has been full of places that were going to be high end restaurant/bar attached places with nice clean family ranges, I have been to successful ones in Arizona and down south but they never work in this area .People with more money than brains get talked in to the idea by fast talkers who have big ideas with somebody else's money. None of them have worked out and after a bit of time and a lot of loss begin to cater to what's walking in the door and guess who has liquid 100$ bills for a day at the range? Next thing you know it's a shithole !
There are a couple nice ranges in the area with reputable owners but not many. The small guy is gone and was put to sleep by regulations,costs and the new franchise type ranges.The suburban commandos will pay5K but want to sleep in a cabin and play Ranger in the woods for a weekend out of state,coppers want to button up and the working shooter can't afford to go too often.Nobody will pay for training as everybody is born a pistolaro and can't be taught anything..just ask them.
I worked in it for years and it has only become worse,stopped teaching anyone but friends and family and learned freight logistics from my son,rather deal with truckers.Gun shops are a dirty little business and for every good person on either side of the counter there are three that you wouldn't take home to meet the family.

Not to excuse the bums for picking up guns after being convicted of felonies, but really?
With all of the illegal guns out there on the city streets? I guess that's what we've come down to here in the CPD...low hanging fruit looks as good (on paper) as going out there on the streets and picking up felons on our city's streets.

Check out the Q in 10 from 27 sept 17:17hrs. Read all the reports associated with the arrests. Young kids with no experience being lead by a new srgt who had to fake and illness to get out mids before he did his time and could get a different watch by seniority. Mark my words this team will be the next scandal for 10.
Dumb dumb dumb

Sounds like youre a disgruntled midnight PO. Maybe you should focus your energy on DUIs or working the front desk complaining about how miserable you are. People of power obviously read these comments and all you're doing is trying to jam people up for no reason. But I'm sure that doesnt bother you at all since you've probably been a buddy fker all your life. Maybe since you have so much to say about coppers you know nothing of, you should tell us who you are? You probably won't though because you arent man enough. Since you must have soooooo much experience working the street and know everything why dont you knock on the tact office and show your face so you can show the 10th district tact office how it's done? Or better yet come to 006 and show me how it's done coward.
