Anything less than Public Hanging on Saturday, 1200 Noon, in Grant Park is unacceptable. It is called Capital PUNISHMENT for a reason: it is NOT intended to deter or rehabilitate/ reform, it is solely intended to exact the Supreme Price for the Supreme Crimes of Murder, Treason, etc.

Britain banned Hangings in the early 1960s. Throughout Post-,War Britain, Executions ( Hangings) were carried out within a month of Sentencing— The First Monday after the Third Sunday. (So, the Condemned had 3 opportunities to pray with the Prison Chaplain before being Hanged.) Justice was Swift and Certain and Severe.

I heard he was beyond reproach and highly competent. The exact opposite of the ones trying to run things now.

By the way, I thought I'd post here the latest in the race for the murder rate title in the 1,000,000+ category, and Crimesha and Groot are still losing to a couple of (leftist) white guys in Philadelphia - DA Krasner and Mayor Kenney:

Philly: 400 murders for 1,588,000 people - 25.19/100,000
ChiTown: 661 muders for 2,695,000 people - 24.52/100,000

Mayor Lightfoot can't even win a homicide title.

(Yes, I know, Chicago will run away with total homicides for the 12th straight year, but homicide rate is a better indicator of overall danger.)

The man wandered around downtown, in the middle of the day, with an armored vest on selling drugs. Only a Kim Foxx could make such a thing possible. If and when the shit hits the fan watch the gangs take up positions around her to defend her. Never have criminals had such a friend in high places. Illinois is 1/2 of a politician away from being Haiti.

Just like for every shooting “he was scared - he was mentally ill - he was about to get his life together - he didn’t know - he was afraid - he is a persecuted minority “

Show leniency - then sue the appropriate parties for monies - rinse, repeat

It’s far time these offenders to see the chair, an eye for an eye, that would deter crime. Not a taxpayer supplemented rehabilitation.

You can’t rehabilitate a murder victim - why give the offender a chance that he has permanently stolen from someone else.

Sad.

I'm a civilian but I can't tell you how much respect I have for Cmdr Bauer. As a very senior guy he could easily have blown off the radio call and headed to his office for a coffee. But I bet that never entered his head, instead he went straight into action without a moments thought. RIP sir.

I'm an outsider and read SCC daily. I remember breaking down and crying "why? why?" when I read of this in early 2019.

"A four-time felon running away from a police tactical unit that had tried to question him about drug activity."

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/r-i-p-cmdr-paul-bauer/ and reading the
story on the one year anniversary:

Nothing on priors. Here's that from the local rag:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-bauer-memorial-20190213-story.html

This was a GOOD, DECENT, RESPECTED human being.

Had a police officer retire by me years ago. The stress made him retire and never enjoyed any retirement. Died within months in his 50's! In the UP of Michigan, a Sheriff I know told me of "opioids all over." He's taking retirement after 35+ years. Police all over have been shot, killed. You are dealing with devils. Stress is a killer.

My sincerest sympathies. I don't know if the pain ever goes away. It subsides, but it's still there. Years, decades later. Sours you. Hardens you.

Commander Paul Bauer is with the Lord. He is, along with St. Michael the Archangel, a saint you can depend on. He is watching.

If and when I get to Heaven, I will ask "why did the good die young? Why?"

Again, I am sorry for your loss.

NOT ILLINOIS. NOT LAW.

Shoot, stab, kill the police, expect to rot in hell with the rest of your kind. Anyone ghetto/hoodtrash who defends him will go rot in hell next to him. I wish the death penalty was still in process for IL, a lot of these hoodtrash could use the chair or firing squad.

Arrested, arraigned, tried, convicted, condemned and executed in THIRTY-FOUR DAYS.

RE earlier today at 1218/ 1218 PM Execution of Mayor Cermak Murderer. In 1812, the British Prime Minister, Lord Percival, was shot ( single shot flintlock pistol) by a Mr Bellingham, a disgruntled British Businessman, in the Houses of Parliament. This was on a Monday afternoon. Bellingham was arrested on the spot and arraigned the next morning ( Tuesday). The trail began Thursday and ended Friday, with a Guilty verdict and sentence of Death. Bellingham was hanged on Monday— SEVEN(7) days after the Murder! Lord Percival is the ONLY British Prime Minister to be killed in office, although the Provisional IRA came very close to killing Margaret Thatcher in 1984(?) with a long delayed action (possibly several weeks delay) explosive device positioned near her predicted hotel suite in Brighton.

Why was Legghette wearing civilian clothes at his sentencing? The defendant wears civilian clothes during jury selection and during the jury trial, but I’ve never seen a defendant wearing anything other then CCDOC inmate clothes at sentencing. Not once have I seen that before. They didn’t afford Jason Van Dyke the same courtesy. WTF!

The reality is that the POS defense Attorney was way over his head on this one. The POS fired his competent PDs for a civil rights Attorney that agreed to do it for half of whatever they make from the city. The defense strategy was profiling and excessive force and they believed that it would pay off, literally, in the end.

That means that there will be appeals based on the Attorney being incompetent and having made many pre-trial and trial errors.

It's not going to be like the Wilson case but it will definitely drag out for years.

This event cemented my decision to leave Chicago. I told my husband that we needed to leave, and I pretty much took on his job search FOR him. He just needed to show up for the interview. We took our two crying kids (neither of whom attended a CPS school) and left for a quiet community in a red state. People here like the police, and we are more relaxed in general now that we’ve made the transition. We get homesick, but 2020 cured a lot of that. God bless all of you.
