How a City Dies: Woman Burned Alive on CTA by a Violent Career Criminal Who Was Enabled by Democrat Judges
John Kass News ^ | Nov. 23, 2025 | By John Kass

***

These are the hideous progressive sounds of Chicago political corruption: The jails are opened as the Cook County Democrats congratulate themselves ….

And there is another sound that defines it.

“Burn alive B****!”
That is what a career violent predator with more than 50 arrests–at least 10 of them for violent felonies–is alleged to have shouted the other night in Chicago after dousing a female ... with gasoline on the Blue Line CTA train and setting her on fire. She is reportedly in critical condition.

***

Lawrence Reed, 50, was out on pre-trial release for allegedly knocking a psychiatric ward social worker unconscious in August .... Before he was released, he had been before Cook County Judge Theresa Molina Gonzales. The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office warned Judge Theresa Molina-Gonzales to keep him locked up or he would likely hurt others.

Judge Theresa Molina Gonzales refused. She had him released from jail and put on electronic monitoring. And she said something that comes out of the progressive hall of fame:

“I can’t keep everybody in jail because the State’s Attorney wants me to.”
***

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle is to blame for this. ...

She’s the boss, the picker of judges who emptied out the Cook County Jail and bragged about how she saved money via “decarceration,” as the jail population was shrunk and madmen like Lawrence Reed were allowed out to attack the most vulnerable.

***

Cook County Judge Ralph E. Meczyk, the judge who issued a September order allowing CTA “burn bitch” attacker Lawrence Reed, previously arrested 49 times, to leave his home, is himself a convicted felon ….

***

And it is at the center of the politics of Preckwinkle’s protector, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker ....

Shout out the victim’s name, BETHANY MAGEE!!! Another lovely white female victim of these out of control black cretins on the prowl, but mainstream media will not include that in their suppression of the facts.

Judge Theresa Molina Gonzales and Judge Ralph E. Meczyk
both should be fired, tried, and jailed forever.

And those judges were encouraged by liberals like that woman who preached “Black Lives Matter.”

Why? They did exactly as the people of Chicongo demanded. Instead, we should build a wall around Chicongo and let them kill each other off. At least that way, we spare the innocent.

Another white person a victim of a black person. Black on white crime is 6.4 times more likely than White on Black crime (Claude). Rates are even worse if you correct for population differences. That’s not racist...it’s the facts.

When this story first came they buried that the victim was white. Today is the first I heard.

People in Chicago obviously don’t care. So why should I?

Someday we’ll make it against the law for criminals to ride any public transportation for a month after their first arrest and for five years after the third offense.

I’m guessing the criminal is living on Social Security Disability... Why? Because the bimbos and pretentious ‘men’ of the press never ask about that... or maybe it’s not included in their news packets from DNC war rooms.

Remember democrats reward criminals, illegals, dope dealers and terrorists. Too bad ‘the press’ doesn’t understand why... or wonder why they don’t care.

She had a Black Lives Matter post on her social media. Looks like she got what she wanted.

I am sure many of us leave home with a bottle of gasoline and a match, just in case. (Snark off.)

But she even had a Black Lives Matter post on her social media. She helped make the world that killed her.

At least the Dims will never lose the woman’s vote no matter how many are murdered and raped.

Maybe we should just burn Chicago down and be done with it. As for the judge, well.... I don't want to get banned.

Here is something I probably missed.

How did this man pay at a station and go up to a gas nozzle without a car or truck and fill his plastic bottle?

Isn’t there a sign at gas stations about safe containers?

Even if someone says they ran out of gas they can’t fill a dill pickle jar and a Smucker’s jelly jar.

Supposedly a static charge could set off some containers so OSHA issues a warning on the plastic gallon cans people buy at the station when the car is out of gas somewhere.

Is there an exception for a vicious, sadistic violent man on the way to burn a woman alive? “Just go ahead, sir.”
