Cop Killer to be Released

You keep electing democrats, this is what happens:

• A Cook County judge on Wednesday cleared the way for the release of a man who has been locked up in prison for more than four decades for the fatal shooting of a Chicago police officer.

  Associate Judge Alfredo Maldonado resentenced Ronnie Carrasquillo, 65, to time served after he spent the last 46 years behind bars for the 1976 murder of Chicago police Officer Terrence Loftus.

  An Illinois appellate court in August vacated Carrasquillo’s original sentence of 200 to 600 years and ordered the resentencing. The court ruled that while Carrasquillo was not a juvenile at the time of the killing, circumstances of his upbringing and his maturity level at the time of the crime should allow him a “meaningful” opportunity for release.

No word from the judge, the defense or the convict on what "meaningful" life Officer Loftus might have had if it wasn't taken from him by a gangbanging piece of shit.

Scumbag didn't even bother to keep his story straight over the years, changing it in an effort to play on the liberal sympathies of the parole board:

• Carrasquillo admitted to the killing but has described the shooting as accidental, the records show. He’s said that he leaned on the car because he recently had been stabbed and had limited use of his left arm, according to the records. The board has noted claims that Carrasquillo made in the past that he was firing warning shots.

And here's a real kick in the teeth:

• Before Carrasquillo’s May parole board hearing, Thomas Breen, who prosecuted the Carrasquillo case as a Cook County assistant state’s attorney, indicated to the board that Loftus’ killing wasn’t intentional, according to records from a February board meeting.

  Breen said “this was a difficult case with several witnesses that had been abused in the police station.” The records show that Breen has stated that he is “astounded” that Carrasquillo hasn’t been paroled yet.

Breen is a real piece of shit for saying this (that's an opinion counselor, so go fuck yourself if you don't like it). His even appearing on behalf of a cop killer should make decent people shun him forever.

• Carrasquillo’s lawyers have noted that over the years he has mentored and started programs for other people who were incarcerated.

Anyone know how many Little League teams Officer Loftus might have mentored? How many School Boads or Community Councils he might have sat on? How many sons he would have raised or daughters he might have walked down the aisle and how many grandchildren he might be bouncing on his knee had he lived?

Certain crimes should be unforgivable. Rape, child molestation, battery of any elderly, handicapped or mentally infirm individual, and cop killing. Two-hundred to six-hundred years is never enough.

Note: this isn't Parole Board stupidity - they rejected his release eight-to-one. This one is solely on the courts, and that means solely on the democrats.
