Well Deserved Murder

Not a vigilante killing....but no one is shedding any tears over this piece of garbage:

• Sunday evening, somebody shot and killed Robie in the Morse Red Line station lobby. Given his long history of robbing, battering, and generally causing nothing but trouble in the city’s transit system, it seems like an appropriate exit.

  [...] Early on January 13, 2018, long-time North Side bartender Eric “Julian” Hall fell down the stairs at the Loyola Red Line station. No one saw him fall, police said, and he continued to lie at the bottom of the staircase for quite some time, dead or dying. At some point, Robie and a 60-year-old man approached Hall’s body. They didn’t call for help. They didn’t check to see if he was ok. They stole his wallet, which contained cash and credit cards, and sauntered away. A passerby later discovered Hall’s body. He had suffered head trauma in the fall and was pronounced dead of his injuries.

  Two days after stealing Hall’s wallet, Robie was arrested in Boystown because police recognized him as being wanted for a January 8th armed robbery at the Morse Red Line station. Robie was released on electronic monitoring and he was wearing his monitoring bracelet when officers later arrived at his home to arrest him in the Hall case, police said.

  After serving a little time for stealing Hall’s wallet, Robie got arrested for robbing an off-duty CPD sergeant outside the Town Hall (19th) Police District. Two months after he got out of prison for robbing the cop, he got arrested again for robbing a CTA passenger at the Morse station.

CWB has a few other instances. If he wasn't directly targeted, it wasn't for lack of trying on his part. Someone was bound to shoot him for cause sooner or later. That it might have been accidental is just amusing.
