Not a Good Look, but....
Surprising news out of DC today:
President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former Chicago gang leader serving a life sentence at a supermax prison in Colorado.
The commutation, first reported by the news website NOTUS, was confirmed by a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity because it had not been formally announced.
Hoover was imprisoned in connection with a murder in 1973, and he was convicted of running a criminal enterprise in 1998. He later renounced his criminal past and petitioned for a reduced sentence.
Not what anyone with basic knowledge of what Hoover did to the Chicago ghetto back in the day wants to hear. It's also not a good look for law-and-order types to have to deal with. We confess, we'd be happy paying extra taxes just to see this turd taken out of prison in a pine box.
But after the initial flash of anger / disappointment, we got to thinking. This asshole is 75 years old. He might have cancer, diabetes, and all manner of elderly diseases. The administration might have figured he isn't long for this world, so why should the United States taxpayer foot the bill when the President can stick it to Fata$$ and have Illinois voters pay instead? After all, he's still got 200 years to serve on his state sentences for murder.
Which also means if anyone is going to let him skate on the murder rap and not the "criminal enterprise" federal charges, it falls squarely in governor Porkulous' lap....and right in the midst of his presidential ambitions.
Anyone remember how well Mike Dukakis did running for president after his prisoner "furlough" program was revealed? Porky would probably even lose Illinois if he let Hoover out.

There’s no justification for this. I’m not buying the “Well it’s bad for Porky!!!” angle. Shit move by Trump.
Democrats love criminals. Letting him wouldn’t do JB any harm.
JB is in the spotlight now, and it’s a mighty big spotlight. Let’s see if he starts to sweat.
Doesn’t matter.. he should have died in the super max in Colorado with no visitors and spending 23 1/2 hours a day in his cell. Absolute slap on the face and as a huge supporter of Trump, I’m livid. Why even signal at all that he has any support of Hoover?? Even if it’s to stick it to Illinois?? By commuting the sentence you are saying you feel he should not be worthy of being in the Supermax. He should have died a slow, agonizing and lonely death in that place.. now he gets visitors and a lot more perks in Illinois state prisons. And your theories about “maybe” he’s sick… well, maybe he’s not…. Trump lost a lot of my respect today. Rant off..
They didn’t give serial killers as much time as they gave him. It was all bs charging. Hope he can see outside prison walls 1 day.
President Trump:
I am ultra MAGA. I support you 100%. I fully believe that you did this because you are thinking ahead and are playing 5D chess while the liberal scum are playing connect the dots.
Don’t be so sure Jennifer Bonjean , the moron police hating progressive lawyer with the words “Not Guilty” tattooed on her arm is his lawyer.
All she does is sue the police and free gangsters from their life sentences.
Next step is for Pigster to do his part just like he did for two convicted Two Six leaders from their life with out parole sentences and Northwestern gave one a bachelors degree maybe Northwestern will give Hover a PhD because he is reprogrammed and now a saint. Shame on Trump. O’Bama and the Neat Puppet turned the requests down but Trump grants it. What’s the angel?
Helps pave the way for the Chauvin pardon.
Possible reasons for commutation.
1. Kanye asked Trump to do it. He's been advocating for Hoover for years.
2. GDs made campaign donations or invested in Trump crypto
3. Hoover's attorney is hot. Like a Fox News chick.
4. DOJ is about to come down with PPP fraud charges on group of Conehead connected black politicians and need cover from the massive screams of racism coming. Could also explain Johnson attacking Trump non stop last few weeks. Setting up race card defenses.
5. Hell if I know. Hoover is exactly the type of character Trump would call for death penalty. It makes no logical sense.
Hoover should die in prison far from Illinois.
I, reluctantly, give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Trump has more about this than we have. As you said Hoover might be sick or Trump wants to save money housing this asshole. also this could be political ploy. What is governor fat ass gonna do? If fat ass releases Hoover, then fat ass cannot be called a law order presidential candidate. If fat ass keeps Hoover in prison, then he’s a racist honky keeping an old decrepit black man in jail.
Maybe Trump just wants to mess with the liberals mind. Can any of them criticize Trump for releasing a very old black man from prison?
Come on, it’s ok to say DJT did something dumb. I voted for him, support him, but can admit when he fucks up. Hoovers gang is responsible for dead cops and destroying generations of blacks.
Definitely NOT a good look.
Hopefully, throwing it in PIGster’s court will turn out to be a good play. But I’m totally shocked that the most Law & Order President we’ve ever had would make this move and take that risk.
Maybe he figures that even if PIGster fully pardoned him, his days would be numbered no the street. I’m searching to find a reasonable explanation.
I’m going to have to say I don’t agree with letting him out. I knew there would something I didn’t agree with out President with. But he is doing a real good overall job.
They done let the G’Ds in the door
He’s gonna try to go to toots hotdogs but toots is gone and he will say take me back to prison man uh huh.
When he leaves supermax for a state prison some shorty will shank him the first week. Won't even know who his old ass is. Lotta competition on the inside of the zoo. He will never see the streets of shitcaga again.
We should really be concerned about the IMPORTANT stuff all you right-wing meanies.

JB Porkster will just have to house this animal? And watch if he pardons him the reaction of the community will make JD the next Govonor to be left standing at the curb asking to be president? Got to say Trump is playing his cards well. How long is Hoover going to live anyway?
That is 100 percent why the president has commuted his federal sentence. Now he’s porky’s and blowjob’s problem in Illinois.
If memory serves, it was the Rockefeller foundation that funded his criminal enterprise. A liberal do gooder unwittingly gave rise to a drug kingpin. Rinse, wash, repeat.
Trump made the right decision. It will also make a lot of people happy.
Trump has made a few stupid decisions but still way better than Biden
I wonder if he did this to gear up to pardon some of the MN cops in Floyd case?
As long as he stays in prison, I don't care.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Not a good look? A terrible look. And this coming from one of DJT's staunchest supporters. With all the problems to deal with in this mess of a country, Larry Hoover's fate should not even be on the list. Illinois' latest poor excuse for a governor will have no problem letting him out, because that's what they do. Extremely disappointed with this one.
I supported & voted for President Trump but not happy and shocked that he commuted this scumbag.
This comment is spot. For all the death and destruction Hoover and the GDs have wreaked upon the Black community he deseeves no sympathy. I thought Trump and the Republicans were the people who are supposed to care about the victims and not the offenders. To every family who buried a child because of this evil mf’er Trump has said you don’t matter. Politics is more important.
Fat Fredo won't release Hoover because it will look like he agrees with Trump, and he can't have that.
I think some of Trump's motivation is that he's seen firsthand the weaponization of the justice system. He's very open to anyone that argues that they've been a victim of "the system", true or not. As SCC points out, this guy is already past his sell-by date, so there's no downside.
Think about it, Porkman has to make a statement about this. If he agrees with Trump on this, that means he agrees with Trump! If he goes against it, he looks like a fat, rich white man that hates an old black man that repented of his sins. Either way, porker is gonna binge eat himself another 10 pounds because of this. Trump played this beautiful
Lawyer Bonjan-Hoover is a political prisoner!
New label for a dope dealing killer.
Let us not forget Hoover was locked up in a Minimum security prison because Illinois was afraid of prison riots if he was put in Stateville
And your a IDIOT
Save money are you really that stupid
Please don't tell me you're on the job
And what of the multiple victims. To me, this release is wrong and yet, Trump has an angle.....
One thing for sure he knows what he’s doing. Guaranteed.
I don’t like it either, but I can guarantee it will save the US taxpayers more money. The Supermax isn’t cheap.
Think about this next time you’re chasing the gd pos who’s trying to harm you
Trump isn’t letting him out, he is just sending him to serve his sentence in Illinois. If Jumbo lets him out, it is on him.
There are few votes to gain in Illinois. Maybe he just wants to shit on Chicago.
My first reaction was WTF?? Also, to the pardons for the annoying TV family whose daughter donated to his campaign. I'm MAGA, but am wondering if Alice Johnson and Kim Kardashian warped his judgement a little.
"..papa was a rolling stone..wherever he hang his hat was his home..."
Who cares? He would've died in prison and nobody would've given it a second thought. This was unnecessary.
Ha
Agreed. This is on Trump. Big reach to put it on Pritzker.
This is America. No one can admit when their guy does anything wrong-whatever side of the aisle they are on.
Hey it's not like Trump pardoned his whole family like Dementia Joe did!
I don't remember seeing outrage on here about that.
Unfreaking believable. I want to sit outside just to identify the parents who subject their children to this insanity
He is a serial killer.
I, like you was a major Trump supporter, but he has lost his way.
I don’t think trump has any idea who Hoover is. Someone recommended and trump just signed the order
Yeah sure
Honestly didn’t think of that angle. If that’s the reason it shows they’re on the ball and looking to take out dem ‘28 candidates early.
Agree💯%
Fuck off, troll!
Terrible move. I don’t care if it’s possibly a “chess move” as many are trying to make excuses. Bad decision, flat out, end stop, zero need for explanation or making an excuse. He screwed up. What will boot licker Catanzerra say?? Will he support Trump?? I see John coming out saying it’s not a good idea, but then following it up with there is a reason, he’s sticking it to pritzger and we will just have to wait and see.. because god forbid he comes out and bashes Trump for making a bad choice. Don’t care the reasoning.. it was dumb and he lost a lot of my support on this one.
Agree
Do you speak in hyperbole or are you a moron? What were Gacy, Dahmer, Bundy, Berkowitz’s sentences?
YOU POS. You’re probably a civilian with a criminal record and gang ties. F YOU.
Ditto.
SCC posters, where was all this sanctimony when Hunter Buden got pardoned?
Absolutely! The idolization of a man that brought heroin into his own community.
Kanye is a nut
Mount Greenwood/Beverley has the highest concentration of corrupted County and Chicago public officials in the state. The “moral” police over there. Steal everything under the sun for friends and family and then pretend to be the “law.” Degenerates.
The only people this commutation will make happy are the few thugs left who have worshipped him. I started on the job in 1977 and saw some of Hoover's handiwork. He was ruthless and had a huge number of assholes who would do anything for him. He was responsible for dozens of deaths, some were just caught in the crossfire. I can only think of one other gang leader who might have been a bigger scum bag and that would be Jeff Fort. This is a slap in the face to all law enforcement. especially those of us who worked in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
When was the last time anyone seen a socialist sweat due to principles or lack thereof?
Depends on where he ends up. Statesville is not a country club and I imagine the young bucks aren’t going to take orders from a 74 year old
Hopefully JB will follow suit.
JB thinking about a pardon as well.
I doubt Hoover will survive State Prison !
Strategic move by Trump. Larry Hoover has a 200 year IDOC sentence to serve and will be transferred back to Illinois. Now Governor FATass has to deal with it. He let's him free and his Presidential run is over! If he doesn't free him, he loses black support. Either way it's a win!
My thought exactly. He might be lubricating the racism screamers for that one.
The gang he was running was responsible for far more murders than any serial murderer.
There are numerous unfriendlies in the IDOC who are salivating for him to arrive to see who gets a chance to take him out. If he does get out and makes any moves it will be just like in the Wire. A shorty takes him out. Worry more about the pension and the stock market than this POS. Numerous murders who were on death row were moved to life via another POS George Ryan and Quinn continued with it. Move on with this. Take care of the family.
This was all putting Priztker in bind (no pun)..He pardons him, caved to Trump, doesn't loses Black support. Actually brilliant move.
You tried to put a positive spin on this but it doesn't work here. Trump disrespected all police officers with this move. Another distraction on his part.
I say he is trolling the media again...It's not like Hoover is going to be let go. And there is some political capital to me garnered here...As a LEO, I dont like the optics however. I was more upset about the Autopen pardoning of Hunter Biden after Sleepy Joe said he wasn't going to do it..
Maurice Ford retired cpd commander of 007 was a g d
Funny to look at all the MAGA loving Trump can’t do no wrong people twist themselves into pretzels trying to give cover to Trump coming up with all these wild assumptions
PS guess Putin not such a good friend or scared of Trump
Also Tariffs are Taxes on the Importing Companies with the cost being passed to the consumers of the country placing the Tariffs
FYI China hasn’t paid one dime in Tariffs
that pos cpd commander nate gibson was in with hoover they used to call him nate the snake and hated officers who made alot of narcotics arrests
Agreed.
Playing political games with a monster for the sake of his ego. He’s wrong for this in every way. Don’t try to make excuses for him doing this, just say Trump fucked up with this one. He should die in the Supermax like he deserves to. Responsible for 1,000’s of shooting and who knows how many murders. Police Officer murders, terrorizing and flooding his own people’s neighborhoods with dope. He should’ve been executed a long time ago. Unfucking believable.
OT - seriously, stealing baseball cards? I didn’t even they were still a thing.
https://chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/2025/05/29/chicago-police-arrest-crime-university-of-illinois-uofi-quarterback-brother-rice-chris-pazan
That wouldn't help as he also has a state sentence to serve.
This SUCKS BIG TIME. I was in Area One Homicide from 1977 to 1986. Many of the murders that were committed in Area One at the time were committed by members of the Gangster Disciples Street Gang. I saw firsthand and up close the tragedies the GDG's caused. Any Police Officer who was working the southside and still alive can tell you the terror the GDG brought to the Black Community. Besides the murders and mayhem, how about the countless lives that were ruined by the drug trade ($100 million a year reported by the US Attorney's Office) the GD controlled. I can remember how young teenagers joined the various street gangs to be "like Hoover'. How many of their lives were ruined by being in street gangs like the GDG. Hell, the El Rokin's Jeff Fort, would not fuck with Hoover. I don't buy the idea that Trump has something up his sleeve, that he is sticking it to Pritzker, Johnson, or that he is paving the way to pardon Derek Chauvin. Whatever, the so-called reason, does not justify this commutation. Federal Judge Harry Leinenweber of Northern Illinois in 1998 when sentencing Hoover called him one of the most dangerous or THE most dangerous criminals of our time. There was a reason why Hoover wound up in the supermax prison in Colorado. Did Trump or his people ask any of the still living Federal Judges, US Attorneys (Ronald S Safer, who lead the prosecution}, Cook County States Attorneys, any of us Homicide, Gang Crimes, or Narcotics Detectives their thoughts regarding this commutation? I bet not. I know who he did listen too; he listened to Kanye West and Drake. Give me a fucking break. Did he listen to anyone of the William "Pooky" Young family members who he had ordered killed? (I know, "Pooky" was just as bad as Hoover) Did Trump listen to anyone of the other family members who were killed by the GDG? Did Trump speak to any of the family members who relatives died as the result of the $100 million drug sales under Hoover's leadership during his rule as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times? I bet not. Did Trump speak to any of the Investigators who invested 17 years that lead to the conviction of conspiracy, extortion, money laundering and running a continuing criminal enterprise from an Illinois State prison? I bet not. As poster5-29-25 - 12:17 stated: His attorney Jennifer Bongean will now work on him being pardon by Pritzker. For those of you who don't know, Bongean has been very saucerful in getting people pardoned and suing Police Officers for wrongful convictions. To quote former US Attorney Ronald S Safer: At some point, every person in prison for life will become harmless and physically ill. But for a few their crimes demand that they die in prison. Larry Hoover embodies that rule, not the exception. Sorry ladies and gentlemen, Trump just gave a BIG FUCK YOU TO LAW ENFORCEMENT BY THIS COMMUNTATION AND I DON'T CARE THE REASON. I am done with Trump. I will not defend him anymore. Before anyone goes off on me, I voted for Trump three (3) times.
HUGE slap in the face to all of law
Enforcement across the country.
I can’t figure out the end game on this.
“It’s fatasses problem now”
“It’s cheaper”
It still doesn’t work.
Relax, he's just exchanging a federal prison for a state one. Much to do about nothing.
juicay smolley is now asking for jail time to be in a cell with his hero in Illinois
This is a great decision it saves the US taxpayer money. Illinois was paying 0. Time for Illinois to pay up Trump has made no stupid decisions.
Kanye- celebrity voting block and representative of a a popular voting block- 1 toothpick if you can guess
So what’s the difference? The city of Chicago administration and the CPD is full of gangbangers, fraternities and sororities.
him and Ford were former partners and both were bigots
Hoover will likely be granted parole in Illinois since he received an indeterminate sentence. He be eligible for parole under the old system. Maybe Porky will tell his prisoner review board to deny it to stick it to Trump
Whatabout whatabout whatabout.
Please stick to the topic at hand.
Gibson was gd for real.
Amen. Anyone else remember the raid on Jeff Fort's Fort? Maybe his pardon is next in line...
As a retired COP I don't understand this move at all. I only hope the shithead ends up like Willie Loyd of the Vice Lords did.
If you are on the job please tell me you've been at O'Hare your entire career and are thus unaware of what that shit head did to generations of other human beings.
He's a geezer, sitting in supermax. Let him it in Stateville. Let him be Pritzker's problem. There are younger criminals with likewise terrible criminal records, who belong in supermax.
Typical dumb coppers. He made me mad. I dont like him anymore. This is the “critical” thinking that got us one shit mayor after the next. People cant keep their giant egos in check. And will puff out their fat chest and tell u how Trump hurt his feelings Its not great. But big picture champ.
Perfect explanation, hope goofs will read it
The President "Jumped the Shark" on this one.
The lawyer is a real class act. NOT !

All the blood shed that the chicago mayors have allowed is no much worst than what Hoovers done. Take that to the bank!
Trump just put Hoover on death row if he ever makes it back to the street. Anyone working the south side knows this new breed respects nothing and no one.
You are correct. He put Pritzker in a box. Pritzker’s Willie Horton moment. Blacks are already praising Trump. He’s peeling away the lower income class Black voter from the Democrats…and he’s not freeing Hoover. It’s a slap in the face to law enforcement if the Progressive Socialist Democrats get back control of our government.
Did Hunter kill or have killed hundreds of people?
It’s a political move, he’s speaking to black voters, and former criminals in one stroke of the pen. It’s not a slap in the face to law enforcement. It’s Trump shitting on Pritzker in a strategy move. No current cops have a history with Larry and nor will they have a future. He’s gona do some documentaries and a book deal. This is a stunt and might keep things red going into midterms.
Cop killers getting out and he gets a 200 year sentence......let him out
That pig sweats just from the strain of walking.
So you’re voting democrat from now on ?
Ok, libtard troll. Now STFU and GFY !!
Have fun on the trans-side !
Definitely a risk of more inmate enemies in IL. Will the gubbenor risk the gain a few additional black votes as opposed to alienating a larger group of law and order voters?
Trump is an idiot.
And from an economic perspective so are you!
I doubt he will get out anyhow but still this is ill-inois. So who knows for sure. Pity he wasn't executed long ago. Why warehouse societies worst.
I voted for Trump 3x, because the alternatives…
I almost always support him, because the alternatives….
I did not support the “First Step Act”. I did not support pardoning anyone charged with assaulting a police officer on J6. I also didn’t support him pardoning that weird tv family just because they said nice things about him, that POS Larry Hoover or now “NBA Youngboy”. This is populism over policy. I’m sorry but we’re supposed to be the adults in the room and that requires consistency. Note: Joes pardons and commutations were also an outrage, especially Peltier.
Trumps a fucking idiot. There is no reason for this. It wouldn't surprise if he did this because he's going to commute Derek Chauvin sentence.
Larry Hoover and Jeff Fort, two peas in a pod. With some luck Hoover will get shanked at Statesville.
Corky, is that you? Hoover was a GD not a Vice Lord, Corky...
If you think his attorney is hot you need new glasses.
Derek Chauvin was railroaded by the MSM< Liberals and democRATS. Free him now!
A football player? Maybe too many hits to the head.
I remember not to long ago another “ kingpin “ transfer that went bad. Maybe Larry will get whitey bulger’ed
I want to believe that there is a positive angle here, like the POS will get killed very quickly when transferred, but for the sake of argument let’s say that it’s just a slap in face.
So what’s the recourse for all of you on here saying that you’ve lost respect, support and trust for Trump ? Are you all going to vote democratic from now on and vote for the party that slaps us in the face DAILY ?!
OR are you gonna vote Libetarian, Independent or do a write in ? All of which is just going to help the democrats.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. He’s not perfect but he’s the best we got !!!
you lack even a basic understanding. Pres cannot commute a state conviction.
And tell me what Derek did wrong with a person who swallowed drugs while resisting?
Stop with your BS
Divorce will do that? Detailed to Central intelligence unit
Trump played this beautiful? Your analysis of the situation is about as dumb as it gets.
Trump is crazy like a fox!
Why all the complaining? Hoover is still going to be in prison just not fed prison.
Maybe he needs a covid19 booster shot
“Trump is an idiot”?
Sounds you haven’t been able to get that sand out of your vagina since the election. Might want to see a doctor or buy a good pressure washer.
STFU libtard troll !
I hated that too. So what?
Not this time. This is just crazy wrong.
