Nice Court System Toni

Is there a bigger failure around that Prickwrinkle's Cook County Courts?

• Two teenage boys with active arrest warrants are facing robbery charges after Chicago police said they took part in an attack on a woman in the Loop on Sunday night.

  The 38-year-old woman told police she was in the 100 block of North Wabash Avenue around 11:10 p.m. when she was confronted by as many as seven young males and females who took her bag and money, according to a preliminary police report.

  Officers searched the area and eventually located two people believed to be involved, police said. A 17-year-old boy was arrested at 12:12 a.m. Monday, followed by the arrest of a 16-year-old boy at 1:32 a.m., both in the Loop.

  Police said both boys face robbery charges, and the 17-year-old is also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. Both had active arrest warrants at the time of their arrests, according to police.

Running a close second is Fata$$'s corrections system:

• A Chicago man who avoided serving any prison time after pleading guilty to a felony gun case in March is now behind bars after prosecutors said he committed two residential burglaries while on parole— and while wearing an Illinois Department of Corrections ankle monitor.

  Cortez Washington, 19, cut a sweet deal in March. He pleaded guilty to a felony gun case and a reduced misdemenaor charge in an auto theft case in exchange for an 18-month prison sentence that was satisfied entirely by 264 days he spent in the county jail. Prosecutors now say Washington squandered that opportunity in less than three months.

Between the SAFE-T Act, the "no cash bail" disaster, and the crooked Parole Board that is incapable of seeing that past behavior is the SINGLE BIGGEST INDICATOR of recidivism, it's a wonder that anyone is ever actually in a prison.

And it's an even bigger wonder that republicans don't run on this issue and hammer the crap out of democrats.
