A man with a lengthy criminal history is facing a federal terrorism charge after authorities said he set a woman on fire in an unprovoked attack on a CTA Blue Line train Monday night.
A 13-page federal criminal complaint was filed Wednesday, charging Lawrence Reed, 50, with a terrorist attack or other violence against a mass transportation system, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of life in federal prison, if convicted.

“Police sources and arrest records confirm Reed had been arrested 71 times in Cook County prior to Tuesday’s arrest, and convicted in 13 of those cases.
He was on pretrial release for an aggravated battery charge, which court records show stemmed from an alleged assault in August on a social worker at MacNeal Hospital. The victim was hit so hard she lost consciousness, court records show.”
Chicago is lost.
Link the pay compensation of judges to the re-offending of those that appear in their courts for arraignment. A risk to the public based plan. You know, the public the judges work for.....
He looks possessed in a couple photos.
Will he be released again in a few days?
Judges aiding and abetting terrorists. Lax on criminals until they do horrific crimes. Innocent individuals are affected forever. Condolences to families and friend of innocent humans.
Mad dogs should be put down.
Good. If he were merely charged under state law he would be free on cashless bail.
Another victim driven mad by the unrelenting oppression of Western civilization.
Pattern recognition.

Now, nobody post any adverse memes. You know we have Meme Police who object to noticing certain massive patterns of violence!
Never mind the violence itself, it's the memes that matter!

You can be sure they’d be no federal charges had Kamala cheated her way to a win in 2024.
A new idol for Fury to worship...
And your point is?
I thought so. You’re still smarting over getting busted for supporting racist crap on that other thread.
CONVICTED 18.3%???
MAYBE WE SHOULD ONLY FUND THE COURT SYSTEM WITH 18.3% OF THEIR BUDGET.
I was expecting longer hair that look like cat turds. But the rest is exactly as I imagined.
Fury at worship:
Furiously lying, as is your usual way. Do better.
Don’t reply to this if you’re a racist Lefty liar.
It figures...Illinois does not have a three felony strikes law.
