Seattle Judge releases homeless, prolific shoplifter caught stealing 70-inch TV

A homeless man is charged with burglary for trying to steal a massive flat-screen television from the downtown Seattle Target. Staff say it was the 22nd time he stole from the store in the past 3 months.

The entire alleged incident was caught on surveillance footage obtained by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. And thanks to a lenient judge, the man was released on his own personal recognizance.

John Ray Lomack is a prolific offender who, according to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, has an extensive criminal history.

A King County prosecutor argued that Lomack should be held on $5,000 bail. She noted “warrant activity” on his 32 prior cases.

Since 1985, Lomack has been convicted of at least 18 felonies and misdemeanors, including second-degree burglary, second-degree possession of stolen property, and fourth-degree assault. This represents only a fraction of the cases that came through to the prosecutor’s office, according to a spokesperson.

Judge Kuljinder Dhillon was unmoved by the argument. He released him on his own personal recognizance.

Dhillon has a history of going easy on homeless suspects — including violent ones

“Go forth and steal again!”

Must be some attempt to ‘collapse the system’ but what’ll happen will be Seattle = Detroit in a few years. Complete hell hold.

Everything woke turns to sh*t.

The judge needs to be taught a lesson, but that lesson needs to come at the hands of a criminally deranged homeless person out on a no-bail release.

The judge is a threat to Seattle and in a saner world would be removed from his position.

Yes! And the lesson needs to be brutal and unforgettable.

A baseball bat to the side of the head with security camera off would sole the problem.

22 times in 3 months... I blame the store.

Just spiffing up his man-cave tent? Maybe he wanted to host parties with other homeless who come over to watch the blank screen.
