Paroled for Gun Charges - Gets More Guns

Nice Parole Board Porky: 

• When Maurice Reddick arrived at his ex-partner’s home in South Chicago on Tuesday night, things went sideways quickly. Within an hour, prosecutors say, he would open fire on a woman, shoot at two uniformed CPD officers, and then hide in a basement crawlspace surrounded by three guns, one of them an AR-15 style rifle equipped with a working machine gun conversion device.

  Reddick, a 34-year-old on parole for his second gun conviction, faces multiple felonies, including two counts of attempted murder of a peace officer. Judge John Hock detained him following a detention hearing on Friday. The state is also moving to revoke his parole. 

You know how you keep parolees from getting more guns? Stop doing this:

• Reddick’s criminal history includes a four-year prison sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Public records show he was paroled on May 27 last year after serving half that sentence. In 2021, he received a one-year sentence for illegal gun possession but did not serve prison time, having accumulated enough credits while awaiting trial on an ankle monitor.

And keep them in f#$%ing prison.
