Justice is so....Confusing

Get a look at this headline from CWB:

• Red Line robber was wearing an ankle monitor for a Red Line robbery he committed while wearing an ankle monitor

And it wasn't his first time getting caught while wearing an ankle monitor:

• The February 19 robbery was not Stephens’ first alleged offense while under electronic monitoring nor his first alleged robbery on the Red Line.

  Prosecutors last year charged Stephens with armed robbery and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after he and an accomplice allegedly robbed a 41-year-old man on a southbound Red Line train near 47th Street on September 12.

His accomplice was....also wearing an ankle monitor!

• Both Stephens and Gray were wearing ankle monitors at the time of that alleged robbery. Judge James Murphy III ordered both men detained on those charges, citing the ankle monitors as a specific point of concern.

Holy Crap! A Cook County judge ordered him held??? Hats off to Judge James Murphy III!

• Despite his history, Judge Carol Howard decided on November 11 to release Stephens on an ankle monitor again, according to court records.

  The arrangement quickly unraveled. One month later, a court officer notified Howard that Stephens had failed to report to their office weekly as ordered. Howard kept him on the ankle monitor anyway. In January, she modified his electronic monitoring conditions to allow him to be outside his home from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

Oh....there they go again - this time Judge Carol Howard. 

We'd say it's amazing, but it isn't - it's expected.

Stay Alert

In regard to recent world events, remember to keep alert when responding to "sensitive" areas and keep that camera rolling if you're stuck at a downtown "protest."

It's a wonder that people who claim to hate totalitarianism, aggressively defend women's rights and embrace diversity can't wait to protest in favor a regime that hasn't held an actual election in nearly fifty years, slaughtered tens of thousands of protestors, routinely beats women for singing, executes rape victims and hangs gay people from construction cranes.

Not to mention thousands of military casualties and the routine slaughter of thousands more civilians across the globe for five decades.

UPDATE: Rumors starting up about 12-hour days because of Chinese funded "protests."

Jesse Flees Illinois

After taking so much from the taxpayers of Illinois, he couldn't wait to leave town:

• A memorial caravan carrying the body of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to his native state of South Carolina is now underway.

  His widow, Jacqueline, is accompanying him on his final journey.

  Video shows the procession leaving Leak and Sons Funeral Home at 78th and South Cottage Grove earlier Saturday morning.

  His family says they want the journey to be an opportunity for friends, supporters and community members to pay their respects while honoring Jackson's life and legacy.

We've never been to South Carolina....road trip?
