Surely it was not the judge who started the fire.
The Charlotte, NC bus stabbing “suspect” was arrested 15 times in three years, then released just weeks before he murdered that young Ukrainian immigrant woman.
Blue city justice systems are failures.
This brutal crime will do nothing to change the judge’s approach to releasing dangerous, violent black men back onto the street. Wokeism never retreats; they remain constantly on the attack without any regrets.
judges should get 3 strikes and then out or in jail
There will be no “fairness” no “equity” until every incarcerated black person is free to walk the streets of America and do as they please without consequences.
Let’s Go Brandon Johnson says it’s racist to incarcerate career criminals
What fury?
Most folks in Chicago just care about the Bears.
Facing growing fury? I think it might be time for the people to finally take matters into their own hands against these liberal communist Judges who keep aiding and abetting criminals. Until those kinds of Judges begin to fear the people and face consequences for going soft on these career criminals, the criminals will keep committing crimes with impunity. It’s a no brainer.
“in 1641 the Massachusetts General Council adopted the Body of Liberties...The bail clause appeared in Liberty 18:
‘No mans person shall be restrained or imprisoned by any Authority whatsoever, before the law hath sentenced him thereto, If he can put in sufficient securitie, bayle, or mainprise, for his appearance, and good behaviour in the meane time, unlesse it be in Crimes Capitall, and Contempts in open Court, and in such cases where some expresse act of Court doth allow it.’”
“criminal bail bonds were not even the second most common use of surety agreements in courts at the time. That honor fell to a rarely studied device known as the ‘peace bond.’ A peace bond pledged that its principal would keep the peace, often in reference to some specified claimant or alleged victim.”
“They could be ordered independently of any criminal charge or in connection with one, at any stage in the case — pretrial, postconviction, or even post-acquittal as a kind of compromise measure.”
“And particularly in jurisdictions that did not permit arrest in misdemeanor cases, the peace bond gave the victim immediate recourse should the accused strike again.”
“The entry for Commonwealth v. Sarah Ludley on January 16, 1800, is typical. It reads: ‘Charged on the oath of Susanah Weaver with commiting an assault & battery on her.’ Sarah was ‘bound in 30£ for her appearance.’ Her surety, James Bodin, was ‘bound in 30£ for the Defendant’s good behavior and appearance.’”
“As the recognizance language makes clear, the bonds were pledges only — conditional debts. If the principal on the bond violated its terms, the state could seek to enforce the default through a debt action. But no cash or other collateral secured the bond upfront.”
“Ferguson did not set carefully individualized bond amounts. He set bonds quite uniformly: the vast majority of defendants and their sureties were required to pledge £30 each. It is difficult to ascertain the value of that amount in real terms, but it was probably the equivalent of around $3,000 today.”
“A second wrinkle is that, contrary to the conventional academic wisdom, bail clearly served a public safety function as well as the purpose of guaranteeing appearance at trial. The majority of bonds that Ferguson issued to defendants and their sureties were to guarantee a defendant’s “good behavior” as well as their appearance.”
“There were three grounds for commitment to jail, illustrated both by the Ferguson Record Book and by the jail records. The first was a pending criminal charge, if one could not produce sureties. The second was pursuant to summary conviction for “vagrancy” or other petty offenses. The third was for outstanding court debt.”
I didn’t read the whole thing, or the footnotes:

The problem is law schools accepting stupid bimbos because they want to be ‘WOKE’ and wear their guilt on their arm bands. Here’s a flash - there ARE qualified woman AND minorities. Law schools don’t have to choose from the bottom of the barrel... where this ‘judge’ was obviously chosen from...
If this judge had paid attention to what the prosecutor in Reed’s most recent case was recommending, Ms. MaGee would probably be with her family now in Indiana for Thanksgiving instead of suffering in a hospital facing lifelong disfigurement. And I have to believe if she hadn’t been the victim, somebody else would have. Why else would Reed have boarded the train with a container of gasoline?
Any judge can make a bad decision. This judge is complete moron and needs to go immediately. She needs to be cleaning out her desk on Monday. If decent people in Chicago don’t fight back and demand this, and demand it every time it happens — and it happens a lot — then they can’t very well be furious when another innocent life is damaged or destroyed with the cooperation of the very officials who are charged with keeping them safe. Put some teeth into your fury, Chicagoans. Collect some scalps.
Everyone here beats me up when I point out that while freeing the slaves was the moral thing to do, it did not come without consequences. Johnny Reb could have told you about the pathologically violent subculture of many (not all) black men. If we are to restore safety to our streets we are, in fact, going to have to incarcerate a lot of them. As in put them back in bondage. With all appropriate legal due process, of course.
so she's a criminal too.
