THE ROAD TO THE CHICAGO TRAIN FIRE ATTACK. On April 23, 2020, a man poured gasoline around the Illinois state government building in Chicago and set it on fire. The man, identified as Lawrence Reed, 44, was said to be angry because he had not received his monthly government Supplemental Security Income check.
According to the Chicago news site CWB Chicago, Reed went inside the building, known as the Thompson Center, and asked a worker at a train kiosk where his check was. Reed left and came back about an hour later, asking the same thing. Then, according to CWB Chicago, Reed “allegedly returned a third time at 2:10 p.m. with two red containers. Witnesses reported seeing him walk along the north wall of the Thompson Center while pouring a liquid from the containers. Fire investigators later determined the liquid was gasoline … Reed set the liquid on fire while people were plainly visible inside the building.”
Even then, police and the larger justice system in Chicago were very familiar with Reed. CWB Chicago reported that he was “on probation for two criminal damage to property convictions” and had “seven felony and 11 misdemeanor convictions as well as two pending misdemeanor cases.” He was also “awaiting trial for allegedly punching two women in the face at random in the Loop on February 28, 2020.”

This case makes me want to cry, and to kill, at the same time.
There are many in the world that need killing.
When Reed attempted to set fire to the former Thompson Center in 2020, the feckless Governor, J. B. Pritzker, was inside the building. Pritzker was giving a briefing about the Covid Pandemic.
Given these circumstances, it is doubly shocking that the Illinois criminal justice system did not move to put Reed behind bars.
Sue the pants off Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez

For those who don’t have a subscription to the Washington Examiner, York also had his piece published in Townhall.
A good number of black people are the worse racists...so tired being lectured about white racism,which does not exist besides very tiny segments.....
Yep. But their racism is NEVER called out.
Six decades of sickening racial pandering
These judges need to be held to the fire.they need to be infront of the public and explain why she let the monster attack this young woman.
It’s not the fact that she is obese that indicates why she is such a terrible judge. It is the fact that she is black.
She’s hispanic, I think.
But most TDS democrat women judges are obese.

“He was also “awaiting trial for allegedly punching two women in the face at random in the Loop on February 28, 2020.”
That was over 2,000 days ago.
Governor Creosote owns this.

“ These judges need to be held to the fire..”
In this case, literally.

I do not despise that individual because of his skin color, rather for his acts. I despise Pritzker and the entire excuse industry for loosing this individual on the people he was elected to serve. He is a cheap opportunist, catering to ethnic and racial prejudice of his electorate.
