Decriminalize Everything

This was brought to out attention by our good friend Todd Vandermyde. He writes:
  • you might want to go look at SB1980 house amendment 1.looks like the black caucus is trying to decrim[inalize] just about everything they can

  • (b) Sentence.

    (1) Theft of property not from the person and not exceeding $2,000 $500 in value is a Class A misdemeanor.

    (1.1) Theft of property not from the person and not exceeding $2,000 $500 in value is a Class 4 felony if the theft was committed in a school or place of worship or if the theft was of governmental property.

    (2) A person who has been convicted of theft of property not from the person and not exceeding $2,000 $500 in value who has been previously convicted of felony any type of theft, robbery, armed robbery, burglary, residential burglary, possession of burglary tools, home invasion, forgery, a violation of Section 4-103, 4-103.1, 4-103.2, or 4-103.3 of the Illinois Vehicle Code relating to the possession of a stolen or converted motor vehicle, or a violation of Section 17-36 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, or Section 8 of the Illinois Credit Card and Debit Card Act is guilty of a Class 4 felony.

    (3) (Blank).

    (4) Theft of property from the person not exceeding $500 in value, or theft of property exceeding $2,000 $500 and not exceeding $10,000 in value, is a Class 3 felony.

    (4.1) Theft of property from the person not exceeding $500 in value, or theft of property exceeding $2,000 $500 and not exceeding $10,000 in value, is a Class 2 felony if the theft was committed in a school or place of worship or if the theft was of governmental property.
As you can see from all the underlines and strike-throughs, the proposer (Rep Camille Y. Lilly of the west side) is attempting to codify into law what Kim Foxxx has been telling all of her subordinates to do via memo - raise the felony charging parameters in order to make more crimes misdemeanors.

While this is the proper direction that Foxxx should have done in the first place, we question the wisdom of raising the floor four-times the current numbers. You are rewarding criminals by removing the established penalties and punishments. It's a bad idea.

Hey Kimesha. - you swore an oath to uphold both the Federal and IL Constitution. Instead of issuing a decree raising the retail theft floor limits - you need to actually have a legislator propose the idea in a bill. If you would take the time to read the Constitution (or have it read to you) you might actually fulfill your role in a LEGAL manner.
Hey media - you might want to read the Constitution, too! I'd lend you my copy, but you'd probably loose it.

Lol, nothing ever happens to these criminals anyway. Nobody goes to prison in this county for theft of any kind. The entire criminal justice system in this state is broken beyond belief but even more so in Crook County. I don't know why so many officers still waste their time arresting these losers for nonsense. Total waste of time and paper.

Just another reason to look ahead, to the future and my departure from this shitty state. I can hardly imagine not abiding by some sort of budget process at my home for the expenditure of my just barely $100k income. This state is going three years with no budget for BILLIONS of dollars. Looking for a nice place in TN, NC or SC this fall. ..soon to be former citizen reader. Thank you every day police and be safe.

One of the reasons it is a bad idea is because it will prompt a rise in vigilante justice. "If the criminal justice system can't protect me and mine, I will".

Hate to see it because I know Kimmy Fox will really hammer the guy trying to protect his own. It's all about "social justice", not real justice.

This is a terrible idea. Why would anyone want to decriminalize everything? Has this Black Caucus ever had a good idea? They sure seem to be ate up with the dumbass.

Why are they so worried about criminals and making life easier for them? Have they ever given a thought to the victims of crime? Or is that only when a criminal attacks them?

Here's an idea, reinstate the death penalty and then use it! It's not a deterrent if it isn't used.

Why bother anymore they're criminals are being catered to constantly look at cook county jail criminals go in there they get pizza parties pizza deliveries it's like a family reunion pretty soon the guards will be put in the cells and the prisoners will be running free oh wait a minute the prisoners already running free doing whatever they want as Tommy and Kimmy where all this happened they are free free to roam and cause more bloodshed and murder in the worst run Siri in the entire country. Notice also how the state legislature has put in a bill to make the entire state a sanctuary state which will cost us trillions to support the criminals illegally here why enforce any laws when the elected our mayor senators alderman etc. violate federal immigration laws totally refuse the enforcement of laws the criminals know this they refused to obey any other lies and know that with the lawless elected they can do whatever they want.

How can a police officer do their job enforcing laws when laws are violated at the highest levels? When elected officials break the laws there are no laws only a struggle to survive for the innocent! Until this dirty swamp is drain nothing will happen notice how President Trump is not even speaking about Chicago anymore we are lost cause is a shame how this once Great city is being decimated the war on police the war on law and order is clearly visible.

Not just theft cases. Check out the "secondment program" at the states attorney website. What the hell? Foxx is inviting any and all attorneys that want to come in and handle cases. Imagine how bad it will be when the person handling the case is some do-gooder off the street. From the website: "A secondment experience with the CCSAO accelerates the attorney’s counseling skills through interaction with victims of crime and high-profile county officeholders as clients."

How about the new sport of traveling from one's

goodly number of miles to where one knows
Police presence is intentionally diminished
so that one could very likely succeed in one's
urban sport endeavor of unwanted intrusion
upon unwary others and forcibly relieving them
of the "nice shit" they worked for?

Fuck Rahm.

This is why Chicago is losing population. It's not just the white folks running out of here like their damn hairs on fire, the black working class and the welfare class that don't want to be murdered are, leaving now too. Illinois is losing population because of the politicians decisions, criminals don't need to be in jail, working class people need to be taxed to death.

These damn democrats celebrate everything that's wrong and demonize what's good. Chik FilA, bad. Terrorist celebrated at PR Parade, good. Police bad, armed robber, good, he's just a victim of society. Working people trying to maximize their earnings, GREEDY! Public aid recipients gaming the system, good. They just make sure whatever they do doesn't get reported to endanger the LINK card, section 8 rent subsidy, free medical card and assistance check. We have the fattest and richest no working fuckers in the world here and my elected representatives care more about them than they do me.

Why bother with any laws the outlaws are in charge! Friend works at home depot, some employees observed an animal walking out with expensive items chased him in the parking lot, he ran away returned items the 5 were fired because it is not store policy, he told me the theft is extremely high just take what you want in the most corrupt state-city-county in the country and walk away! We are what 100 billion in debt and no budget for years but yet the scum lowlifes still get free link cards,housing,health care etc as the retired police officers the citizens have health care removed by diabolical rahm and now joey ferguson after everything police have!

Mostly, the Elected Democrats are protecting their own asses from corruption.
These politicians weren't elected by honest, hardworking taxpayers and have to protect that constituency.

As for ANOV's... these freeloaders don't pay their cellphone bills, parking tickets or rent, you can't put someone in jail for not paying a civil fine or until put a lien on property they don't have.
Cut, suspend or eliminate the Welfare Entitlememts would be a start.

Illinois is a proving ground for corruption, all laws are for people with something of value to lose, not the freeloader or the politician.
Think JJJr is going to be hurting financially?
Nope, he and the Government didn't touch his money.
Greedy Blago worked deals with some of the biggest names that soon became staples in the obama administration, from Pritzker on down to Big Duncan. The tales he could tell if USAG Sessions gets time to listen, but Democrats are sweating and causing every bit of chaos they can think of to stall the Administration.
Draining the Swamp should start with Illinois, then DC.

It seems that since Foxx took an oath to uphold the law it seems she violates it every time she orders and creates her own manner of enforcing the laws on the books.Per Dart I bond them so they can go back out and steal again. If they are locked up they can reek havoc for the public.Downtown is Loaded with Mr.Opportunity to steal loot and rob anyone they deem weak. Rahm keeps making excuses for everything but refuses to clean it up.

The black caucus is the equivalent of the African dictators who say they are there for their people but rape and pillage the land and people for their own enrichment. Making the punishments harder would actually save black lives, but instead they do this kind of hypocritical nonsense in order to stay in office. But what does it say about the black constituents, that they want punishments to be lessened? Has black America really sunk to this that they need their political pawns to keep them out of jail? What percentage of the black population are criminals now that the black caucus keeps pursuing the decriminalization of black crime. Black America needs to wake the fuck up. This way of life is not sustainable, and eventually even the blind sheep in this country will say enough.

The Dumbocrats most fervent core belief is that that are way too many people of color in prison. And the way to reduce that is to change the law so that no one goes to prison. At all. Ever.

If you obey the law, you have no problem. But some people just can't do that.

That's what happens when you keep voting Democrat, they have to give give, and give to stay in officers. It's called being a pandering jagoff. My brain is hurting too, and we all have to work on ways to dismantle the Dem's politically. We are getting to the point of no return and it's getting scary what other ways people want to deal with the Left and its not good.
