A Loyola University student on his way to school robbed a Metra conductor at gunpoint Tuesday afternoon because he was hungry and needed money to get some food before class — and that’s according to his defense attorney.
Brown pulled out a gun and pointed it at the train conductor’s stomach around 2:07 p.m. He allegedly took $110 from the conductor’s pockets on the platform and left the station.
The defense attorney said Brown went to class at Loyola after the hold-up. He encouraged Judge Maryam Ahmad to reflect on her days as a hungry college student as she weighed the state’s request to have Brown held without bail.
That argument didn’t sit well with Ahmad, who said she remembered being a hungry college student, but she never considered pulling a gun on someone and taking their money. She granted the state’s no-bail request.

Needed $110 for breakfast.
Kudos to his mother.
Per Zion’s linkedin page...
Says one of his skills is “Creative Problem Solving.”
Also say he wants to be your bookkeeper. Uh, sure, buddy.
“He encouraged Judge Maryam Ahmad to reflect on her days as a hungry college student”
Hungry Jack mash potatoes
Raman Noodles 6 for a buck
Leinenkugel’s
Stop at the McDonalds on the way and pick up some Monopoly pieces hoping for fries or a hamburger.
Never thought of resorting to violent crime? Clever.
$110.00 buys a lot of ‘lunch’, even in Chicago.
All you can eat, plus a few bags of chips.

Wow, this defense attorney probably got his law degree from 7-11. Yeah, “reflecting” back to my student days at Stanford, I should have stolen from the restaurant I worked as a bartender. s/
Democrat DA?
All charges dropped with 5 minutes of community service.
You know he is getting free tuition and still needs to steal money from working people.
What a stupid defense.
An honest man would have sold the gun and had enough money for maybe 50 to 100 breakfasts.
I’ll have to ask my daughter if there are any places in Chicago that will charge that much for lunch. She’s probably eaten at a few..
Shenanigan on the idea the money would be used for lunch.
Sell tyhe gun.
Nope it’s a fat white boy
Did he learn that in class from one of the Marxist professors? 🤪
Bus drivers always carry a box of French burnt peanuts.. and they are delighted to share. But you knew that, didn’t you, Mr. Brown? Didn’t you?!?
Another lying thief the democrats will never give any consequences to.
I went to school with many Viet vets, do not recall Raman noodles back then, but a local diner would feed you on credit and we group purchased huge bags of potatoes.

In Chiraq gun rental is a regular service.
In chicago, with our current economy, that might be about right.
