Kass to Pay Chaplains

Kass must be trolling our archives for story ideas and he picked a big one this weekend:
  • Why can’t Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle just get along and end their feud?

    [...]

    The conflict between them is rooted in Preckwinkle’s good intentions paving a road to hell: low bonds for alleged offenders, including some charged with gun crimes, and a broken home electronic monitoring system. The low bonds and EM programs pushed by Preckwinkle and her protege, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, and, to some extent, by Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans, have reduced the population of Cook County Jail, saving an estimated $160 million a year.

    [...]

    [...] it’s only a matter of time until there’s a catastrophe, and some violent offender out on low bond, or placed on the broken electric monitoring system, will light up a neighborhood. And Chicagoans will witness the shrieks of the survivors in endless news video loops. We already see that kind of thing all too often. And only Lightfoot and the police are held to account. That’s unfair.

    But eventually, a shooting by someone on home monitoring for another gun charge will involve multiple victims. It will again focus national attention on Chicago’s river of violence.
At last report, Dart can't find nearly 500 inmates currently out on bond. That number may or may not have changed slightly in the intervening months, but the fact is that multiple times a week, a convicted felon is released on either an I-Bond or EM and multiple other times a week, that felon is arrested again, occasionally for another felony.

Any arrest is a violation of Bail Bond and requires an appearance before a judge, but then the judges just tack on another I-Bond.

We've been pointing this out for years, so a quick hundred bucks to the Chaplains from Kass is only fair. MAybe he can get some traction where we couldn't since all the heavy lifting is done.

With the prison population cut in half, do we have half the budget for the sheriff's office jail? No it continues to increase.

Kass is such a Dart kiss ass. Not one mention of Dart despite the fact the Sheriff is losing everyone on EM. I guess blaming the black politicians is easier.

Not to worry, the reporters won't cover that story, even if it is wrapped up in a bow and placed on their desk. It isn't in their narrative.

Kass reported the Sheriff has 100 officers monitoring 1000 or so inmates on em. How does Tommy toupee claim shortstaffing when these 100 officers only job is EM.

The prickwanker plan is working.

Just not as efficiently in all it's intended results as hoped for.

1. Reduce county costs to free up graft pot money = Check!!!

2. Produce abumdant public perception of sjw victory!!! = Check!!!

3. Return to hoods their most prolitfic chaos producers = Check!!!

4. Present hood residents with choice of submission to democrat party subserviance or whatcha gonna do about it, beyotches??? = Check

Alas, some unintended byproducts of said successful prickwanker plan elements have manifested:

1. The Whatcha Gonna Do About It, Beyotches??? element = Shoot up the hood, muthafuckazz!!!

2. The above unintended byproduct has put a crimp in the pimp of the planned glorious celebration of the victory of the sjw element perception deception.

3. The "saved" county graft pot money has been offset by the huge increased neccessity of the big hog city budget increases needed to pay for the increases required to attempt to impede the increased chaos pumped back into the hoods via the prickwanker plan element pertaining to the above described county graft pot money.

4. As those pesky coppers insist upon being paid, well, this has resulted in the big hog city being at odds with the big hog balled county grafting machine.


So, this kass ass is, as traditionally established, a half ass at most.

Bug Eyes vs Banjo Buns = city graft hog vs county graft hog.

Giving dangerous felons a "Time Out" at home might sound like a good idea on Facebook, but in reality: does not fly.

Sherrif Joe Arpaio is available to replace Dart. He is the ret. Arizona hardass who knew how to treat prisoners right, not take their Domino's order.

To answer Kass's first question, why can't they just get along:

Because they're a couple of subnormal morons who shouldn't be in charge of a nail shop much less two of the largest local government entities in the nation.

The only answer is to leave, let the socialists implode themselves, and when the leech parasite supporters of the socialists move on to destroy some other city like a storm of locusts, come back and pick up the pieces for cheap.

The cost of the equipment and personnel to manage the EM program have to be astronomical. I have to wonder, which clouted company is providing all of the electronics for the EM program? Are they providing repair support also, or is that from another "friends and family" company? Come on Kass, time for some follow up.

If you don't know about Vampire-Squid, Democrat Mastermind, Dr. Evil George Soros, look him up.

Short answer: he hates your guts.

But in the mean time, read this:

https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-prosecutor-campaign-20180523-story.html

The effort is part of a years-long campaign by liberal groups to reshape the nation’s criminal justice system. New York billionaire George Soros headlines a consortium of private funders, the American Civil Liberties Union and other social justice groups and Democratic activists targeting four of the 56 district attorney positions up for election on June 5.

FLSA overtime is the rate you are paid after 11 hours of OT is worked in the period. Because duty availability is taken into consideration in computing the hourly rate, it is slightly more than the contact rate.

Kass and Tommy are buddies. Never mind the fact it was the Sheriff who blamed Judge Evans in 2013 for giving high bonds to his beloved inmates. Now Tommy's great low bond for all idea is a disaster and he gets no blame for the results. How is it that he is responsible for home monitoring and gets zero coverage in the article u ask? Its by kissing the media's ass and hiring their relatives to fill the payroll while eliminating officers.

Kass can’t be that lazy. Maybe old but not that lazy.
Sharp, wise and resourceful enough to have a good, reliable supply of sources, unlike many of the at-home cottage reporters and story tellers of today. Benefit of the doubt, but SCC posts can easily prod an otherwise preoccupied or even the idle mind.

In my opinion The Groot-Prickwrinkle detente is more about getting GoutLoafer is see the Dem light...the Prickwrinkle Shining.
Prickwrinkle needs some of that historic vote LightLoafer has to get her protégée KmmmFxxxUp re-elected.
Getting LightLoafer to tamp down the County’s slack-assed prosecutorial is one way and getting an endorsement through political incentives will likely be arranged for the New Year.
Listening to Prickwrinkle sell her olive branch interview last week, she sounded like quite the eloquent statesman, unlike the pugnacious toad who, as you know doesn’t take to folks telling her what to do.

Cook County is a fraud and hopefully there will be more creative mainstream media writing to finally expose this nonsense called Restorative Justice. Allowing Cook County to redefine justice and law is how they bastardized civil society, plain and simple.

Lost in the translation - Of Political or Civil Society.
There’s nothing wrong with the leashing or penning the wild animals, to prevent harm and/or destruction.
The well behaved get their freedoms.
The option has always been a clear one. Since the beginnings of civil society, as written by John Locke, (Second Treatise of Government) to a more contemporary time with a reference to the Baretta tv theme song ("Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow") that offered a simple advisement...“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time”.

Illinois the axis of corruption and it’s rotten core Chicago with Cook County, the absolute tyranny that keeps on taking the freedoms of the law abiding.

Prickwrinkle been around long enough to know how to romance the stone cold bewildered reformist, many well before her wrote the book on this. Remember Prickwrinkle herself was once an unknown sideline reformer.

GrootLoafer will be turned, you can take that to the bank.

FLSA = Fair Labor Standard Act...You can only work so many hours in a week, Anything worked over that amount has to be paid at a Higher Rate per the FLSA. So if you exceed the maximum hours in a week that your allowed to work the remaining hours will be under FLSA $$$$

Rumor has it Lori already knew Big Toni was calling to challenge Groot to a Octagon Cage Match. That's why Groot never answered Preckwinkle's phone call. Big Toni wants to get even for the Mayor's race. Toni wants to give Groot a bare knuckle, eye gouging, groin kicking, no holds barred ass whoopin. She already bought a mask, cape, a scarf to hide her goiter, jack boots and a lovely low cut, XXXL pastel wrasslin suit.

The rumor mill is also saying that Special Ed, fearing Lori will soon fire him, has secretly thrown in with Toni and is teaching her the dreaded illegal Police Choke Hold as a last resort should things go badly for her. It'll be "Lights Out" for Lori.

Groot (the less thuggish of the two) has indicated to the city's management team, her preference is for traditional dueling flintlock pistols at Maggie Daley Park at high noon.

In the meantime, city officials are in discussions with HBO Pay for View executives for a possible cut of any grudge match televised between the two political adversaries to help reduce the city's $838M budget deficit.

Tensions remain high between the two Democratic opponents as they blame each other for the murder and mayhem in the city. More popcorn please.

Said it here many times before. KASS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. He likes to present himself as a south side tough, with a sneering comment about the city, peppered with some bs about his Greek heritage and his numerous immigrant relatives. He's a paid media person, using the Chicago Tribune to promote his podcast on WGN and showing up as a self appointed insider as to the goings in political circles in Chicago. The truth is he and his wife and kids scooted to Western Springs. In doing so, his commentary should be focused on the civic upheavals east of 294 and South of Ogden. All we are to him is fodder for his self promotion as a media personality. Why anyone on this job would talk to him, as if he's gonna carry your water for your discontent is a big mistake because he along with others could give a shit about us. Lets put it this way, step on your dick on the job through no fault of your own and see how much you mean to this pock faced SOB. Why give him the opportunity?

I do believe that when Alvarez was states attorney, felons out on EM who cut their ankle bracelets off were charged with escape. I am not sure what Foxx is doing about this, but I would put my money on " nothing". Then, add in the fact that the handfull of deputies that check these EM felons are overworked and some of the rest are lying on the visits and falsifying records.
