No bail for man charged in fatal stabbing on CTA Red Line train (Chicago)
Chicago Tribune ^ | June 25, 2016 | Christy Gutowski

Before the violence erupted Thursday afternoon, Jones and Hampton moved several times to different train cars, Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Bob Groebner said in court. At one point, Groebner said, the two were sitting facing each other across the aisle and he asked her: "Are you going to have my baby?"

Hampton shook her head no and he got up and began repeatedly stabbing her until she fell to the floor, authorities allege.

He then dragged her body and slashed her neck several times, authorities say.

At least this isn't a case of "gun violence." The media would be irate.

My sister is near the city. She says it is going the way of Detroit. There is a ridiculous amount of Black on white crime that is not reported. They go where they want, do what they want and there are virtually no repercussions if they are ever caught. There are hardly any cops around.

Read the daily crime reports. Many shootings and killings.

In Chicago, this is called “Voter nullification”.

No descriptions of the race or ethnic background of the shooters. They should at least be able to identify the Amish shooters by their hats and their get-away buggies.

“The fatal attack — a rarity on CTA trains...”

I’m glad to hear that!

Saw an interesting comment a while back.
Since 1917 Detroit has @19,000 unsolved killings.

Seems hard to believe but with such a large city and a century
of time maybe it is true. The stats at HeyJackass.com
show a very low clearance rate for Chicago also.

"Hey Jackass" breaks Chicago's violent crimes down into all sorts of honest statistics.

So she tried to run and he just followed her. Another liberal suggestion that cost an innocent life.

Now, if she had just responded to his initial question by drawing her pistol and saying “No, but I’ll gladly wallpaper this train car with your brains if you lay a hand on me,” her attacker would have gotten off at the next stop to change his shorts.
