The Scumbag in question
Posted on 12/09/2017 6:09:00 PM PST by grundle
In January of this year in Chicago, two black men and two black women kidnapped a learning disabled white man, imprisoned him, tortured him, cut off part of his scalp, forced him to drink from the toilet, demanded ransom from his parents, and posted part of the torture as a video on Facebook. They also called him racial slurs, which puts this into the hate crime category.
Well, one of these scumbags has just been sentenced to probation instead of prison, after spending less than one year in jail. Her name is Brittany Covington. (The other three scumbags – Tesfaye Cooper, Jordan Hill, Tanishia Covington – are still awaiting sentencing.)
Given the horrific kidnapping, imprisonment, violence, and torture that they committed, I think all four of these scumbags should be forced to spend at least several decades in prison.
The fact that Brittany Covington was sentenced to probation instead of prison is inexcusable.
The judge responsible for giving probation instead of a prison sentence to this violent scumbag is Cook County Circuit Judge William Hooks.
Judge Hooks said he could have given her a prison sentence, but chose not to because “I’m not sure if I did that you’d be coming out any better.”
Although prison is referred to as a “correctional facility,” that is not the only reason that we put people who are convicted of violent crimes in prison. We also do it to protect the innocent, as well as to send a message to the guilty that their violent behavior is not to be tolerated.
Judge Hooks is a bigger scumbag than the four scumbags who kidnapped and tortured the learning disabled man.
By not sentencing Brittany Covington to prison, Judge Hooks is giving his approval to what Brittany Covington did. He is saying that what she did is OK. He is saying that what she did is acceptable.
But in the real world, what Brittany Covington did is not OK.
It is not acceptable.
Shame on Judge Hooks.
Meanwhile, the guy who vandalized a mosque and put some bacon in it gets FIFTEEN YEARS! (Different judge)

He looks like Meathead. Acts like Meathead too.

This is happening all over the country. Check into the sentencing reforms and justice reforms in your local Superior Courts and Capitol buildings.
People on felony Probation can commit new felonies and stay on probation. How much more do you need to know.

ok, I get it, judge says if you’re a violent criminal there’s no use putting a person in jail because there’s no guarantee they’d come out better... ??
I want the judge to undergo a mental evaluation. Because he has lost the understanding that in some cases, jail isn’t there to make people come out better, it’s there to isolate the crazies from society as long as possible.
I sincerely hope that the misery visited upon that young man is visited 4-fold on the judge.
Are all judges nitwits? This one is.
They can still be prosecuted under Federal Law. Kidnappimg is a federal crime. Can someone shake Sessions out of his coma.
Running for election? Surprise...surprise...perverted decision may haunt him forever...

It's all about the color of the crime.
