Leave Him There
They're still trying to get Hoover out of a life sentence:
The notorious co-founder of the Gangster Disciples street gang sat with his hands shackled in his lap Thursday, listening from a thousand miles away, as a judge in Chicago asked the question that could lie at the heart of whether he grants mercy to Larry Hoover after 26 years.
“How many murders is he responsible for?” U.S. District Judge John Blakey asked.
The judge directed his question to Hoover’s defense attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, who had just argued that Hoover’s once-monolithic gang is now a “splintered, disorganized group with no hierarchy,” and that prosecutors simply feed the “mythology” of Hoover to keep him locked up.
Behind that supposed "mythology" is a charismatic SOB who could rally the splintered group into the force it was in its heyday. Even after his initial conviction and sentence of 150 years, he was running the gang from Illinois prisons before federal wiretaps got him sent to Colorado's SuperMax prison. That was the only thing that separated him from the driver's seat of his criminal network.
Society shouldn't be willing to take that risk. Hoover can leave when he's dead.

The Supermax is in a desolate area. There is a nearby butte where they bury those scumbags. It is fitting.
The west and south sides are gonna need him to keep the south american gangs at bay. Let him out, maybe the Rockefeller foundation can fund him rebuilding his gang like they funded him building it....
The so called justice system is a joke. 150 yr sentence and after 26 there’s a possibility he will be released. Found guilty and the extent of his violent crimes displayed for all to see and the punishment fit the crime. Life in prison means nothing, 150 yrs in prison means nothing. The justice system is broken and beyond repair.
Let Hoover take over as Mayor.
Probably do a better job running this city
When he leaves in a body bag then it’s time
I couldn't agree more.
Look at how much work all levels put in to free the Wilsons. Hooks was dirty af
His lawyer Jennifer Bojean is a piece of work. She is known for representing scumbags like Bill Cosby, Jeffery Epstein and Harvey Weinstein.
Ok , Ill explain. " Life" in prison means until you die. Life does not mean until you are old and or sick. I dont care if he cured cancer while he was in- He needs to stay FOREVER
A 150 year sentence should mean that he does 150 years. But not in today's world. The only reason to consider letting him go is that the "self cleaning oven" can then be turned on high for a while. But there is no guarantee that he would live so long if he does return to Chicago. Rival gangs could make him a target and the get bragging rights over his demise. Gang culture only ends in death...it is some sort of code.
No talk about him finding Jesus, turning his life around, trying to end the violence and criminal activity in Chicago, steering young people away from gang life. He is still the same stone cold killer. At least they didn't try to pretend otherwise.
Make a good D.E.I. Candidate somewhere. Couldn’t be worse than what’s filling in now.
but,,,, maybe he can come here and coach midnight basketball ????
It’s very telling and not lost in the 7th Circuit that Bonjean routinely is offended and speaks to the media about the injustices that she endures. She is a horrible person and a very disturbed individual.
Let's see, 50 percent reduction for good behavior, 49 year reduction for classes taken in prison, 20 year reduction for miscellaneous credits earned, and a 6 year credit for being on electronic monitoring - 26 years sounds about right.
Are SCC writers and readers familiar with ex Columbia Mafia made man. Michael Francese ? I highly recommend his YT and other videos . He s left the mob but never turned informant .
IMO organized crime especially Italian American Mafia organized crime and even Larry Hoover BGD organized crime is much better than disorganized “youth” street crew crime where young teens are just running wild doing murder and mayhem , with crazed young teens doing the worst ad the system doesn t even charge them until they turn 18.
My view is similar to those observers that say Stalin and Stalinism was better than the anarchy of the early Bolsheviks - at least with Stalin if you got on his side and never challenged his power and authority you wouldn’t t get tortured and murdered . IMO it s the same with the Mafia and other mire organized crime like the Chinese Tongs/Triads , Columbian cartels .
lol!
At least he’s shown he can run a vast, complicated enterprise.
The mayor we’re stuck with now couldn’t even manage his own family finances.
What does it say when Larry Hoover is probably more suited to be mayor than our current mayor?
Who cares. He’s not changing a damn thing in or out
Mother fucker should have been put to death years ago ! Fuck You Larry piece of shit !
Society shouldn't be willing to take that risk. Hoover can leave when he's dead.
Agreed but he did make one helluva good vacuum cleaner...
The issue is not only the Supt, but the useless and worthless supervisors on the job. One can say that those who scored well on an exam are legit. However, just because you scored well on an exam does not make you a good detective, sergeant, or lieutenant. It only means you scored well. So, there are many inept detectives and supervisors who got there by studying, yet never did a lick of police work... Of course we have the merit process. This would be a good promotional tool if it were truly based on merit. There are many great officers who just are not good exam takers.
Let's go back to exams; how many have cheated their way to a good score? Look at the infamous study group from which many, such as Saadia Carter, Nakia Fenner, and several others, made Lieutenant. Nothing done about this cheating scandal! Look at the never brought up cheaters who worked for Supt Johnson and miraculously did very well on a Lieutenant Exam. Mills, Popeye, and others, all scored horribly on the Sergeant Exam they took yet they scored in the top of the Lieutenant Exam. Ask them and they will tell you they scored legit. Common denominator: friends of Johnson, friends in IAD. How do you look your kids in their eyes and tell them you should never cheat in life?
The clowns are always sympathetic to the lowlife murderers, rapists, terrorists, etc. How many lives did he take? And the clowns are focusing on the power of his gang today? The imprisonment is not for the level of his gang's success, but for killing people. How about the clowns let Larry out when every one of his victims rises from the dead.
Fuck that terrorist shithead.
Thank you for using Supt. Not supe
He can leave when he achieves room temperature, not a moment before.
Why hasn't Jussie Smollet been charged and sent to prison where he belongs.?
I would have thrown her a shot back in the day though.
I don't understand what all the fuss is all about, this shithole is filled with bunch of killers , rapist & everything else . What would it matter if another old POS gets released onto our streets maybe the hood will finish the job like Vice Lords did with Willie Lloyd .... Y'all forgot bout ole Willie getting out then tried taking back the reigns & the hood wasn't having it
Juicy has been charged, convicted, sentenced and right now awaiting the decision of the iIlinois supreme court (purposely not capitalized) as to his appeal. Give it time bro, the shysters need their money first.
Heard a rumor that he is slated for a cabinet position in the Harris presidency...something about prison reform. Can anyone confirm?
