Federal Charges

This is probably the only way to (A) get some real justice for a particularly violent crime and (B) the only way to put a stop to this out-of-control shit:

• Federal prosecutors on Tuesday slapped three men with carjacking charges, saying they took a man’s car at gunpoint from a Far South Side gas station. Two of the men are accused of trying to carjack another driver but they couldn’t figure out how to operate the victim’s vehicle.

  Marquell Davis, 22, Ramone Bradley, 26, and Edmund Singleton, 34, are already fighting state carjacking charges for the same crimes, which occurred on the evening of November 3, 2022.

  [...] When state prosecutors charged Singleton with the carjackings, they sought a no-bail detention because, among other things, he was on federal supervised release for unlawful transportation of firearms. 

  The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago said Tuesday that Bradley faces a maximum 30-year sentence if convicted. Davis and Singleton face mandatory sentences of between 7 years and life.

Long time readers will remember we advocated for a version of Operation Exile here in Illinois, where gun offenders were essentially "exiled" to federal prisons far away from their families and gang compatriots in the state penitentiaries. 

In Virginia, where it was pioneered, gun crimes dropped by over a third within months of word getting around that you weren't going to be housed locally, or even within a bus trip on weekends. Of course, once democrats saw how well it was working in Virginia, they ran against it since if affected such a huge portion of their voting base.
