🚨 THIS CANT HAPPEN! Cook County, Illinois just admitted they LOST TRACK of 243 criminals on ankle monitors, including 21 MURDERERS and 13 attempted murderers.

One of them was out on monitoring when he shot and killed a police officer and injured another during an armed robbery last month.

The Cook County State’s Attorney actually said the quiet part out loud: “Current safeguards fall short, especially when electronic monitoring is available for those charged with heinous crimes.”

No kidding.

Well, it would be racist to treat murders differently than petty thieves.

Because minorities of a certain color commit murders at a higher rate than persons of the majority race of a different color.

Put those that screwed up in prison until such time that all missing prisoners are recaptured.

This is a terribly stupid question I realize, but why would 21 murderers or people charged with murder be out of jail on ankle monitors?

That’s why the Prixster’s and Branden The Afro’s Cook County has earned the name “The Wrong Place at the Wrong Time With Easily Startled Killers.”

Did Cook County contact the criminals to let them know? 🤔

I have the exact same “stupid question”.

I have no idea how the system is used, but *perhaps* it was used on those who were out on parole.

Still, that’s a lot of murderers on parole. Apparently Cook County has an endless supply of them.

I would prosecute everyone who irresponsibly let violent criminals out when they should not be. I would also prosecute anyone whose negligent or poor job performance led to losing track of these guys.

This should be cause for the Mayor to call for a day of rejoicing.

If somebody’s view of crime is that it’s social justice, i.e. just an oppressed class’s way of evening things out, then it’s easy for them to harden their hearts against the victims and soften them with respect to the criminal. You don’t need to work very hard to recognize someone who has internalized that stupidity - they’ll tell you. And there’s no limit to it, up to and including murder.
