An 11-year-old Chicago boy died Wednesday as he tried to protect his pregnant mother from her knife-wielding ex-boyfriend who was released from prison a day earlier.

Crosetti Brand, 37, is accused of stabbing the boy in the chest and the 33-year-old woman before he was arrested for the heinous killing of Jayden Perkins, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Brand had been paroled Tuesday from the Stateville Correctional Center, where he was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault.

He needs to fry in the electric chair—or worse.

That kid was what many aspire to be: a genuine hero. May angels speed Jayden to his rest.

The people who released him ... who felt he was no longer a danger to community (or for what other reason would they have released such a dangerous buckwheat?) need to be held accountable. Jail time for their lethal error in judgment should be considered, then perhaps — just perhaps — members of parole boards around the country might begin to take their responsibilities seriously ... nothwithstanding the arseholes that they are!

almost all of our violent crime is committed by a very small subset of one population....America would be the safest country in the world except for that group...

Are they a different species? I truly don’t get it because some of them are salt of the earth but so many others seem to be not fully human.

“Yes, that happens often, however this is a different case and I have no information yet that the woman enabled the Murderer in any way.”

Not saying she did. Just relating my experience.

Several years ago, I got an emergency call at work. It was from a neighbor who lived about a quarter mile away. His kids had been playing with my neighbor’s kids and told him there was a wall in my neighbor’s house covered with pictures of me taken with a telephoto lens. I installed several cameras and recorded him coming onto my property several times per day. He did everything the BTK killer did. Letters, lawsuits, stalking, etc. I took all of this to the sheriff’s office. The prosecutor said that men don’t stalk men and refused to take the case. The detectives told me I had to move away, or he’d kill me. I moved forty miles away and he stalked me every day for about six months. He’d pick me up as I left work and follow me home. I got good with a gun. I got a carry license, and I did not respond in any way. Because if I called the cops, they’d already said they’d do nothing “until he kills you.” He was using them to stalk me by proxy. Eventually, he started stalking the man who bought my house. (That man moved away in six months.) There’s really no difference between what my neighbor did and an abusive ex-boyfriend. She’d have been well served by learning to use and carrying a gun. I never leave the house without it.

The detectives told me, if I was a woman, they’d have arrested and jailed my neighbor. But the ninety*-plus year-old prosecutor said, “men don’t stalk men.” So, that was that.

*Yep. Not an exaggeration. They changed Florida Retirment law because he had, if I recall, three state retirement incomes. Now you can only get one even if you go from an employee to an elected official.

Just a wild guess, but I doubt the animal served his full 16 year sentence.

Maybe the easiest path is to keep these thugs in prison until they’ve served their full sentences. No early release for ‘good behavior’. For all practical purposes, that ‘eliminates’ them from the social/civilized scene.

“He needs to fry in the electric chair—or worse.”

I think that there should be a new death penalty law: Kicked in the groin to death. I would volunteer to design and build a groin kicking machine with settings for severity, rapidity, etc, I would do this free of charge in addition to operating the machine for each use.

“If a good guy had been around, “

If there had been a good guy in the picture he probably was at work instead of “around” to protect.

To save on the electric chair cost, I would be willing to donate my time, energy, and crowbar to handle him in a room.

I need the exercise, anyway.

Your approach would be funnier, though.

The death penalty shouldn’t cost society so much to administer. There are plenty of people willing to donate to the cause.

Does Florida law allow for shooting someone for trespassing?
