How Does This Happen?

Stuff like this:

  • A 16-time convicted violent felon is back behind bars after prosecutors said he launched a brutal, unprovoked hammer attack on a senior citizen in Auburn Gresham this summer. Prosecutors say Frank Barker, 58, of South Holland, ambushed a 69-year-old man who was unloading groceries outside his home in the 8300 block of South Green Street around 1:48 p.m. on August 20.

Sixteen time convicted? 

Or this:

  • A man who once served a lengthy prison sentence for attempted murder is back in court, this time facing full-blown first-degree murder charges tied to a July 2023 murder in Back of the Yards. Prosecutors say 40-year-old Max Hernandez was the getaway driver for two gunmen who killed 24-year-old Leonardo Martinez and critically injured his 25-year-old brother on July 4, 2023. Hernandez was arrested recently at the Pinckneyville Correctional Center, where he was being paroled on a separate gun case filed just weeks after the Independence Day slaying.

Gee, a parolee committing more crime? 

Or this:

  • A West Side man who lured four men to his home and robbed them while he was supposed to be confined by an ankle monitor for a pending machine gun possession case has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Christopher Anderson, 22, admitted in court that he used Instagram to set up meetings with the victims, who came to his home in the 400 block of South Laramie last winter.

Committing crimes while on an ankle monitor? 

Or even this:

  • On September 14, deputies stopped a man in River North for driving with an expired registration. They ended up arresting the driver, 40-year-old Terrell Washington, who served a 16-year sentence for murder in 2004. Why? Because, according to the sheriff’s office, he had a loaded handgun in the car. Judge Antara Rivera ordered him detained.

A murderer with a gun? How does that happen? And stopped for an expired tag? That's about to go by the wayside if the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA) gets their way by outlawing traffic stops for compliance violations - violations that will get you suspended for three days if the Inspection Division catches you dirty.

It's almost like criminals have no fear of the justice system....possibly because there aren't (and haven't) been any significant consequences for years.

Chalkie's Lament:

Whilst I while away the hours

Ah whithering the flowers

And passing 'mongst the graves

Wondering who I'll be chalking

After just a bit of stalking

If they'd only do the wave

The Chalkie Wave

(Bye Bye, cruel world of knaves)

So, they might have met me sooner

On their paths to meet the crooner

Of the melody of death

The delay of their leavings

Absent any sounds of grievings

Is a mystery to every one but me




Chalkie

These stories, and hundreds of others, are why Pritzker, BLM Brandon and the rest of Democrat Machine don't want any federal intervention coming into Chicago because it will expose all of their failings for years. The Trump intervention was not welcomed in Washington DC at first by the mayor and council. But now they are finding out crimes like homicides, robberies and car jackings are down and people can walk the streets again. Now Mayor Muriel Bowser wants the federal intervention to continue to Christmas. The Democrat propaganda crusade here is doubling down with their fake stories of all the non white people being kidnapped and "disappeared". Stay tuned it's going to get more outlandish.

Brandon has a detail that rivals the President! About 150 minimum-225 estimated with the 24/7 massive amount on his block! Jelly Belly has unk amount but would bet easily over 150 also, they don't care about us! The police are pawns in their chess game, Brandon clearly stated his total disdain for police,as he uses them to protect his dumb ass! The new breed of police has some culpability, but then again you were hired with completely relaxed standards so being the police is a hard concept! How many police are inside getting same pay and overtime as working street coppers? Secretaries with guns very prevalent!

The police are for some reason still doing their jobs in these cases. The courts and the jails just are no longer keeping them inside. Covid was the biggest bullshit reason to let prisoners go and they did it in droves. And it continues to this day.

During Mayor Shortshanks tenure he refused to give us a contract. Ticket activity was pretty much non existent. People would commit moving violations right in front of us, especially after word spreads on social media ( still in its infancy, "MySpace? "anyone? )that we weren't writing tickets. I had no problem with it. Neither should you.

Whatever happened to the three strikes law? On the third conviction for a violent crime you go away for life. Had one guy I had arrested I recall got that. As for the dimwit robbing people in his own home while wearing the ankle monitor he needs to be put away for good for his own safety.

We are obviously doing our jobs by arresting bad people
CCASA’s office is now doing their jobs as well by approving charges more often, and putting on great cases.
It kinda stops there.

Judges and the Parole Board is next. How about them doing THEIR JOBS and keeping bad people in prison in order to keep the rest of society safe.

When you have a mayor who during a press conference doubles down on the teacher's union dangerous rhetoric and gives praise to Assata Shakur who murdered a New Jersey police officer and fled to Cuba to escape prosecution why if your a criminal would you be deterred. The "leader" of our city embraces these kinds of people.

Trump making Pritzker and Johnson look like fools. Ice agents descended upon a building on the south side and arrested 30 illegals including Tren de Aragua gang members. Harboring illegals and violent foreign gang bangers won't look good at election time, though dumb Illinois voters will still vote for fat ass. Imagine making all kind of budget cuts to fund these criminals.

This isn’t a bug in the criminal justice system, it is a feature rammed down the public's throat. Those responsible for allowing criminals to run roughshod over citizens need to face sedition charges and if found guilty, they must be hung. This a war plan by the left to destroy the country.

I have noticed in a few comments that some of you sworn officers send your children to CPS and brag about how much you are saving compared to those who send their children to private schools.

As you can see the CTU, Conehead and FatAss revered Assanta Shakur (and all her other names) a convicted cop killer when she died in Cuba. Why the fuck would you trust your children in their custody on a daily basis? She was everything Americans are not.
