CHICAGO — A Chicago man wearing a neon yellow “peacekeepers” vest helped a group of people beat and rob a motorist in Little Village on Friday night, according to a Chicago Police Department report. The allegations come after city and state officials lauded the use of “peacekeepers” as a tool they would deploy over the Memorial Day weekend to tamp down violence across the city.
Oscar Montes, 31, was held without bail by Judge Maryam Ahmad on charges of robbery, aggravated battery, and unlawful vehicular invasion Sunday afternoon.
The trouble began around 10:55 p.m. as Chicago police officers saw a large group fighting near 23rd Place and Washtenaw. Additional CPD units were sent to stabilize the situation.

DEFUND THE PEACEKEEPERS!!
The perp: ex-gang member, ex-con, pled down from a murder charge - but he “goes to church” - clearly a prime candidate for a Chitown “peacekeeper”.
I guess he thought that he was a “piece keeper”.
Agreed. democrats kick the patriot policemen out of the force and hire leftist thugs. That is the end goal of anti-police policies.
If he were black he would also not have been assigned bail. He would have been released with a court date or the charges would have been dropped.
Wasn’t this a scene in A Clockwork Orange?
I always have to read whether “no bail” means released without paying bail or held without being allowed to pay bail. A beating and robbery in Chicago could go either way.
Montes is on parole for a 2012 case in which he pleaded guilty to aggravated discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle. Golaszewski said those allegations stemmed from an incident involving a rival gang member of Montes in Little Village. Court records show Montes was originally charged with attempted murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
He was released on May 6, 2022, after serving a little more than ten years of a 12-year sentence, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records. State officials are reviewing his parole status in light of the new allegations.
Peacekeeper turns to crime.
“Pritzker’s thugs” should be their name. Sounds like he put them in to gather more revenue from gentle folks and enforce anarchy.
I guess the guy didn’t know what ‘Peacekeeper’ meant. Or he thought it was ‘Thug’ on the vest. 🤓
Sounds like he misses prison and “Bubba”.
I’ve been to Little Village, it was about 10 years ago when I was with the FDIC. Closest thing to Mexico I’ve ever seen, and I lived in El Paso for nearly 15 years. 98% of the people speak Spanish as their primary language. People were friendly, their restaurants fantastic.
