INDIANAPOLIS — A man recently arrested for attempted murder in Indianapolis has nearly 100 prior arrests.
Courtney Boose, 41, was arrested after police say he stabbed a 69-year-old man at a gas station in Lawrence earlier this week. The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition and is still in recovery.
Court documents say Boose refused to comply with officers and tried to leave the gas station after being identified as the suspect in the stabbing. An officer ended up using a taser on Boose and then handcuffed him.
Boose is being held at the Marion County Jail on a $50,000 bond. An initial hearing is scheduled for Thursday, October 2.
Boose’s arrest has caught the attention of many local and state leaders including Indianapolis FOP President Rick Snyder. He’s wondering how this career criminal is let back out on the streets time and time again.
“We’re really confronted by our after the fact, ‘Billy Badass’ prosecutor and our ‘woke, broke’ criminal justice system,” Snyder told “The Hammer and Nigel Show” on Wednesday.
Shocked, Snyder said Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears has already downgraded the charge for Boose to aggravated battery.
“That means this case, without even taking it’s first breath in the court system, has automatically been downgraded and reduced, cutting the possible sentencing range from an attempted murder at 20 to 40 years of imprisonment, all the way down to three years to 16 years,” said Snyder.
Previous charges against Boose include trespassing, theft, battery, and drug crimes. The vast majority of the cases were either dismissed or had a plea deal.
Records also show that Boose has never served time in prison.
“What’s the number of times where somebody in a black robe says “you know what, I don’t think this guy is getting it,'” Snyder asked.
According to Snyder, Indianapolis is averaging a homicide every 53 hours. That outpaces homicides in Chicago by about 10 percent.
In a 24-hour period from Tuesday morning to Wednesday, five people were killed after nine people were shot and one person was stabbed around Indianapolis.
“The daily headlines show that mass shootings, mass murders and mass carnage keep going up,” Snyder added. “This shows the devaluing of the sanctity of life here in our capital city.”
A day is coming when the public will begin to do the work the law is refusing to do.
It's the goal of Cloward-Piven.
They’ll simply arrest the vigilante with zero tolerance.
As much as life is precious some people have just passed their expiration date. He will never change and always be a drain on society.
With the charged crime and his previous record, a judge only sets bail at 50k. Wow.
The usual suspect. No need to look.
IMHO the only way to stop this crap is to bring back Old Sparky. The more terrifying the punishment for a capital crime, the more the scum will think twice.
“A day is coming when the public will begin to do the work the law is refusing to do.”
Why would you advocate for anarchy? It’s the same thing our enemies advocate.
There are some black robed tyrants that need to be tarred and feathered.
And that is letting them off easily.

3 strikes you’re out.
The entire playbook of the Democrats is the Cloward-Piven Strategy.

For a long, long time now I’ve said the justice system needs to add a “demerit” or point-based system, in conjunction with criminal penalties. You receive one demerit for each year of the maximum sentence possible for your crime(s), and the demerits never go away.
Once you hit 25 demerits you’re not allowed bail, and you must serve at least the minimum required sentence for your crime(s), no suspended sentences. Once you hit 50 you must serve the maximum required sentence, no suspensions. And once you hit 100 demerits, game over — you’re put down.
Regardless of crime, violent or not, the demerits always remain on your record.
“ IMHO the only way to stop this crap is to bring back Old Sparky.”
Convicts languish on death row for decades. The solution is a quick execution. Give them one appeal, max. Then a short drop attached to a shorter rope the same day the appeal fails.
“The usual suspect.”
Is this guy also a usual suspect? Help me think about this.

An excellent observation.
Years ago, we were legal residents in Germany. When stories like this came to the attention of our friends there, they would ask, "how can this be?"
"Chaos theory" from a political point of view is a strategy -- obvious from the name. Sow chaos, quite the parallel to the long-established "find a need and fill it" of business. For the "progressives" who are regressive, the point is to foment revolution. It is the Left that wants to "control" society, and it needs chaos -- like letting free some one with 100 arrests -- to argue for greater control -- basically, bigger government.
Some of ours German friends from that time saw the connection to German authoritarians, of course. Others could not fathom it, and they are quite like our "liberal" friends who are so very illiberal.
This is why I say all states in the union have death penalties, which alarms the Lefties. Sometimes the state administers it but most often the "public" attempts murder, and sometimes get excused for it. Lunacy.
But he looks like such a nice man! /s
Black privilege.
