Double Standard....Again

Another SAFE-T Act success story:

• “I stoned his ass!” Terry Strother told Chicago police as they handcuffed him after he allegedly struck a 77-year-old New Hampshire tourist in the head with a brick downtown last month. The 50-year-old repeat offender was on pretrial release in two cases at the time, just days after a judge refused prosecutors’ request to revoke his release, court records show.

  Strother, 50, was arrested nine times in 2025 and eight times so far in 2026, raising questions about how Cook County’s criminal justice system repeatedly allowed him back onto the streets despite a pattern of arrests, missed court dates and brief jail stays.

Seventeen arrests in less than two years, and still out attacking people, including a tourist who will tell all his friends and relatives what a $hithole Chicago is.

And then, the CWB drags Crimesha back into the spotlight:

• His final arrest of 2025 came in the 700 block of North State Street, where police said he threw “warm coffee” into the face of a 31-year-old woman. He was charged with misdemeanor battery, unlike a man who threw root beer on a woman who happened to be then-Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and was charged with and convicted of felony aggravated battery in a public place.

Funny how that happens.
