SAFE-T Revision Possibility?
It's becoming apparent to anyone with two brain cells that the SAFE-T Act is a slow motion failure that is rapidly gaining speed.
It's also obvious that assorted politicians are uncomfortably aware of this fact, but they're too scared of the Black Caucus to make too many waves, but they are making faint gestures and suggestions that there might be room for some alterations:
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson commented on the Safe-T Act on Wednesday. This Illinois statute has garnered scrutiny following the shooting death of a Chicago police officer and the critical injury of another.
Those critical of the no-cash bail law argue it allows repeat offenders to remain on the streets, prompting a call for legislative amendments.
Pritzker has stated that he is open to reviewing new proposals for the Safe-T Act. Still, on Wednesday, at an unrelated event at Olive-Harvey College, he defended the foundation of the no-cash bail law.
Porkulous also threw the judge under the bus, making us wonder about the 2028 judicial races:
- “You saw that the judge wants to blame everybody else, but it was right before the judge. The judge who could’ve made the decision didn’t make the decision,” Pritzker said.
That isn't what judges have been told, nor what judges have read into the judicial record from the bench on a number of occasions.
Here's what the behind-the-scenes people are talking about though:
- Trump DOUBLED his share of the black vote in 2024, from 8% to 15%. This was predicted and is why democrats imported 20 million illegals - they couldn't count on the monolithic black vote (92-95%) to carry them over the finish line any more, especially if those voters were actually making more money, opening more businesses, improving their economic lives and wanting to keep their newfound wealth. So they imported a Third World voting bloc and now are fighting like Hell to keep them here in the hopes of a future amnesty.
This is why a directed PR campaign by the Bailey people, supported by Law Enforcement, directed at the people who are bearing the brunt of repeat felons being released into their communities poses a real threat to (at the very least) their super-majority.
There's even an off-chance at the governor's seat, though how effective he'd be with dem majorities in both houses would be minimal. It would certainly wreck Fata$$'s national ambitions though.

Beautiful, beautiful. Great work Thanks, SCC.
How about repealing the whole bill all 768 pages that the idiot state legislators didn’t read and passed minutes before midnight just so they could go home at the end of the session.
Don't forget - the incredible misnomer of "SAFE-T" keeps ARMED HABITUAL CRIMINALS ridin the bus next to you.
This is what the governor wants.
IMPEACH PRITZKER.
"Stop me before I kill again!"
Now, where exactly did that come from?

I hope Bailey has one smart person who reads and listens...
The Safety Act with ILETSB is a failure. Repeal the law and end the law called the Safety Act.
Why does it seem the judges only follow the law when it comes to releasing offenders, but never when it comes to holding them in custody? If they are immune from bad decisions, then why not lean to holding them in custody for the safety of the people? What’s the difference?
Bailey has zero chance. Hes a hardliner against any abortions which kills his chances in a democratic state and with women. Until the Republicans put up a moderate they have zero chance to even get 20 percent of the vote on illinois. The state is blue sadly. I dont know why the Republicans haven't figured out a republican light candidate that actually has a chance. Before im attacked I vote republican.
They need to look at the “Good Time” provision. When that was given under the old laws an inmate got a day off his sentence for every day he did not cause any problems while incarcerated. Under the SafeT Act they are cutting the sentence in half without him/her doing any time. That’s bull shit get out of jail free.
It should be completely scrapped. Many a citizen has been killed because of it. The dumb politicians who passed this crap are trying to save face telling us it’s necessary reform. Safe t act is shit
People need to start making commercials showing all the failures of Pritzker. Let people visually see his failures. Maybe it will hit home. A candidate running for mayor in LA just did a commercial showing where the incumbent mayor lives and what her house and neighborhood looks like compared to the rest of LA. It's brilliant and gives voters a visual reality of how these democrats live and how they want us to live.
JB is a true piece of shit.
That judge was a prosecutor, whose purpose as a prosecutor was to make sure "more black men didn't get put in jail." Time to put this ideology into the dust bin of history.
The entire country knows about Porkulous' failure. He never met a tax he didn't like. He supported SAFE-T. He put in dozens of emergency declarations to control us under his martial law during COVID and far after the other states lifted their restrictions. Remember he sent his daughter & her horse to Florida, while the state was under lock-down. "Rules for thee, not for me." He has zero chance on a national level.
Dear Mr Fatass, look at yourself, this is on you as well as the judge
your are no different than the scum gov in MN.
The state of IL is mess & it is on you, you have accomplished
zero good, blab & blame others all you want, the taxpayers see
you for what you are, may you reap what you sow
We can cry all we want. They won’t change the Safe T Act. The black caucus doesn’t care. It protects brown and black people from being incarcerated and gives them day to day credit for being out. They won’t even consider altering it. It’s up to the Judges to challenge it, and a good portion of the Judges are worthless supporters of the criminals.
Alderman Ray Lopez was very articulate at the press conference and called out Pritzker and all those judges that refuse to keep Chicago safe. Great job
Abortion has been the noose republicants hang themselves with every single election in my lifetime. While abhorrent in my opinion, it's a fact it has probably saved lives. Just think how many of these types would be running around without it.
Are you an idiot? he got 40 something percent of the vote last time.
Keep dreaming! The Black Caucus will never change their “baby”. This is their biggest success (failure) story in years. The biggest piece of legislation out there that supports “their” people.
My God, stop with this clown. He doesn’t have an iota of a chance of winning.
Rauner was completely useless. Besides being an absolute clown. The House and Senate hamstrung him in every turn. He didn’t accomplish anything in office except take all the money from mental health and help Rahm push these people out onto the street to which we re still trying to recover from.
Nothing changes until the narrative changes
Repeal not revise.
Good job Ray? He pushed for multiple layers of police oversight on a regular basis. And has put several cr’s on coppers. He isn’t a great guy for the police.
Spot on, Republicans in the state don’t seem to grasp the concept that far right Republicans will never win state wide office. The only chance they have is to draft a moderate with conservative, leaning views
You mean Rauner? He was literally and a failure
Last time I checked, the white majority doesn’t need the black caucus to pass any legislation.
Republicans aren't much better...they watched Biden throw the border open for 4 years than pretended not to know the reason why.
But they're still the lesser of 2 evils
The blood is on their hands.
JBs pathetic deflection at the judge is laughable if not tragic.
He has pulled the strings and funded the campaigns of numerous puppets of the democratic party in Illinoi and Wisconsin.
Every democrat who signed on to the safe t act shares the guilt and the blood
Toni, BJ, and every legislator who voted for it deserves to be unemployed.
LIbs should double down and say what they think: Safe T Act is good and keeps moms who shoplift formula for their hungry babies out of jail. Most criminal are demonized and it's not their fault. It's okay if innocent people get hurt to further the cause as long as it doesn't take money out of the pockets of the connected. The entire country should be like Chicago.
Agreed, that California piece was brilliant...more like that should be done, esp here in Illinois where a Mayor gets protected by over 100 officers constantly but citizens have to live in fear everyday. Bailey does have a chance if he gets smart and starts making commercials on Gov Fatass failures with the criminal system plus Illinoian's paying the highest taxes around the country!!!
Ray is a good man and a fighter. I always try to stop by and say hi to him and his office staff. But unfortunately the machine always wins. Nothing short of a violent revolution will change this place.
Funny how when an election is coming up, the politicians start turning on each other as residents voices get louder and the politicians actually start shaking in their boots. God pray Prickster is on his way out.
They had a good candidate: Ted Dabrowski, and he won the Cook County primary with 48%. But all the down State votes went to Bailey, so he won the overall contest.
12:52:28 AM you are absolutely correct. Only someone running as an "Independent" stands a chance against the IL Dem machine. Needs to be pro-choice, gay-friendly, but TOUGH on crime - that combo could definitely gain heavy state-wide traction.
His national ambitions are done, only Illinois votes are dumb enough to believe his blame others on what is obvious to everyone else.
And these commercials need to not just mention "John Doe was let out due to the Safety Act & committed a crime" - they need to show all the mugshots John Doe ever accumulated, all the tattoos he sports, and crime scene photos. Get the viewer to think, "Do I want my kids sitting next to this guy on the train? Why was HE let out?!" Make it personal, not abstract names & stats.
Look what has happened to the "moderate" or "democrat light candidates / party."
ITK killer. Lets get rid of the Safe T act and porkulous. It is going to take generations to fix the problems that progressive liberals have caused in this state. If the will to fix it even exists.
OT: Speaking of corrupt politicians,
Sen Fetterman is calling for the impeachment of Dick(head) Durbin. I believe he even said imprisonment.
I didn’t read the article, but I agree whole heartedly.
Time to stop making abortion a central issue, or the only issue. Laws are in place that protect that. Time to show these democrats the will of the prople
Can they read period?
I thought it. I wish the other guy was running I since Bailey a fool
Ya I like let do it
Not to mention all the big words on those 768 pages.
It’s not as if they learned big words during their CPS educations.
C’mon who is kidding who? The bill was never intended to be read by the legislators. It was simply intended to be PASSED by the elected lemmings so that Gov Fatass could sign it into BLOODY law.
Black caucus is a joke they don't care if they hurt their own race as long as they maintain power to enrich themselves and fellow criminals ie other democrats
We had Rauner. That went…….no where. And then Rauner took ANOTHER family vacation with Rahm.
Illinois was, is, and will always be a ONE party flyover state.
Exactly that WAS done here. JB’s estate where the toilets were removed to steal $200K in property tax money was featured in a commercial. Ya know who cared……..NOBODY.
Thanks for your vote.
respectfully, JBP.
A pile, not piece.
What's sad is the only important issues for many women seem to be the ability to have an abortions and letting tons of men from third world countries come here.
The Judge set Him free because He is a Black Criminal .That is called Restorative Justice. Perwinkle and the Black Caucus stand for it,
Years ago the conservative commentator and writer W.F. Buckley said that the Republicans should run the most conservative candidate who can WIN. Bailey, has no chance in a statewide race.
The problem with "Republican lite" is that they vote overwhelmingly for Democrat policies. Why buy a cheap imitation when you have actual commies on the ballot?
"If you see something, say nothing."
Goodbye to Ann Arbor -
Liberal city removes anti-crime signs to be more inclusive: ‘Just insane’
The Democrat-dominated city council voted unanimously to remove neighborhood watch signs it said 'reinforce biased surveillance'
Democrat-dominated Ann Arbor is raising eyebrows and garnering widespread mockery for removing all of its anti-crime watch signs across the city to be more "inclusive."
The move even prompted a New York City Council member, Republican Vickie Paladino, to say, "They’re just insane."
The Michigan city announced on Tuesday that, at the direction of the City Council, it completed the citywide removal of more than 600 neighborhood watch signs. In a statement, the city explained that "removing the signs aligns the city’s environment with its commitment to inclusive, evidence-based public safety."
The decision to remove the signs was made in a unanimous 10-0 City Council vote in December, according to local outlet The Midwesterner. The city said the move is "fostering trust, belonging and welcoming neighborhoods for all residents and visitors."

Nothing further.
Only Durbin??? There's a bunch of Dems who need to be jailed..including here in Hellinois
No honor among elected criminals
Ray Lopez is a good man, a huge supporter of the police, and one of a dwindling number of reasonable aldermen remaining in the City of Chicago
SAFE-T-Act was passed by Illinois legislators Jan. 13. 2021. That done, the Illinois courts could possibly intercede on this potential disaster. Gov Pritzker, (who has spent 300 million dollars of his own fortune on elections) gave a million dollars each, to 2 candidates running for Illinois Supreme Court. The lIllinois law said the maximum Pritzker could give was $500,000 per candidate, but the ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, ruled that Pritzker could give each candidate $500,000 from Pritzker's political campaign fund AND $500,000 from Pritzker 's personal trust because that was different money or something. The Democrats are professional, and we are the amateurs. Even way back when, even Shakespeare knew this.
Don't forget, Demonrats have been known to commit a lot of election fraud.
gene roy stfu no cares what you have say about thisTragedy . you were a political hack on the cpd with alot wack you only cared about yourself n the desk dollies
another skirt chasing exempt
Now, that is some hefty sarcasm there.
Add a pinch of silliness, 🤪, and, presto, you got a bingo!
EM is the same thing as saying "you're grounded!" It doesn't work on teenagers. Why would it work on dangerous felons?
The Black Caucus didn’t ask for the abuse of the Safe-T Act! It is working as designed in DuPage County and no one is complaining. This issue is a mayor/judicial issue.
Democrats started importing illegals throughout the entire Biden Administration - not because Trump doubled the Black vote. The majority of America - Black, Brown, Yellow and White on both sides of the isle didn’t want this.
When will this country start seeing Black people as individuals from all walks of life and not solely based on the stereotypical ones showcased on the social medial REELS! Assuming Blacks are automatically Democrats is as dumb as assuming all Whites are Republicans.
Ann Arbor adopting the Safe T act next
Then , business as usual, after the elections.
Never met a tax he didn’t Hike
We owe it to John to radically change this legislation.
Ray talks a lot between elections. That’s it, just talks.
Money talks; Bullshit walks. Doesn’t make it right, but it is what it is.
Since when did they pretend to not know why? They knew why and stated it all along- changing the electorate to a one party system both by state Representation and in hopes of one day turning those illegals into legal Democrat voters (if not already). The Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate for the first 2 years of Biden's administration. How do you suggest Rep were going to close it?
Let us not forget Toni Preckwinkle. She has committed more to this bill than almost anyone.
A couple ads with the photos of all the dead people killed by released violent felons- (and their photos, too) with the Gov at the bottom pointing up saying, “Yep, I did that with my Safe-T Act”. Make it a mailer to every reg voter.
"This was predicted and is why democrats imported 20 million illegals - they couldn't count on the monolithic black vote (92-95%) to carry them over the finish line any more"
This predates Trump. Mass amnesty for illegals has been a key strategic priority for the Democrat party for 30 years.
To those whining that Bailey is a "fool", who "doesn't stand a chance of winning":
In 2002 Pritzker received 2,253,748 votes, winning the race for Illinois governor.
In the 2024 election, Trump received 2,449,079 votes in Illinois.
Of course Bailey has a chance of winning, IF we do our part.
And those longing for a "moderate" Republican to run:
Do you want another George Ryan, or Bruce Rauner?
The Republicans don’t have the balls to send out a mailer like that.
Bailey can win if every gun owner ,citizen that supports law enforcement, supports voter ID,secure boarders, lower gas, real estate taxes would vote. MR Fat Butt Prickster is gone
Doubt it. They will blow smoke for a while until things quiet down, then nothing will happen
Bingo! Right on the money.
