Another CWBChicago Story:
[EXCERPT]
Jaheim Jackson smiled widely for his mugshot as police officers booked him for allegedly participating in a mob shoplifting raid on an Ulta Beauty store in Lakeview last week. A judge allowed him to go home by posting a $500 deposit in that case, which involved allegations of taking $8,500 worth of fragrances.
Cops arrested Jackson again late last week after investigators connected him to a similar raid on an Ulta store in suburban Berwyn two months ago.
While his bond court hearing on Saturday did not provide images of Jackson’s face, he sure didn’t sound like he was smiling as a different judge slammed him with a much higher bail.
“The alleged value of the goods that were taken was $2,865,” Judge Maryam Ahmad said after hearing allegations about the Berwyn case. “With that amount in mind, bail is set in the amount of $30,000-D.”
“That’s … That’s $3,000?” Jackson stammered in a stunned tone.
“You need $3,000 to be released from custody, Mr. Jackson,” the judge confirmed. A so-called “D bond” requires a 10% deposit for release.
“I’m not going to be able to be bonded out!” Jackson whined.
“You need $3,000 to be released from custody, Mr. Jackson,” Ahmad repeated as she asked prosecutors to name Jackson’s next court date.
Mayor groot will get right on it.
Wicker Park is the leftist, professional, vegan, homosexual, yuppie, neighborhood in Chicago.
Maybe they should not have re-elected the prosecutor that refuses to prosecute criminals......
Need to go back to the super old fashioned stores where practically everything was behind the counter. You had to ask for it.
I'm guessing a sternly worded postcard will have ZERO effect.........
here is a novel solution: dont vote democrat
Nah!
Vote for stupid you get stupid.
This makes me laugh. They vote for this garbage, they wrap themselves in leftist peddled victimhood, and now, when it hurts, they ask the very people hurting them to stop.
Embrace the suck folks.
They voted for it. They are reaping the rewards of their idiocy.
Some people need to learn by experience.
Surely this wave of petty theft has nothing to do with Bidenflation! When the peasants can’t afford bread...well, we all knows what happens from there.
Just think how much better things would be in the country had the residents and business owners of Ferguson shot the rioters and looters?
The best time to pull weeds is when they first appear, not when they’re everywhere.
Maybe, just maybe ,they should write letters to the shoplifters asking them to stop.🤧
Tangential anecdote:
There’s a notable poor area near here. By the main road, there was (!) a convenience store; small, but seemed to supply a need for the community and the loitering workers waiting to get picked up for random jobs. Something about the scene struck me as I occasionally drove past.
The store burned down. I have no idea why, but there was the charred rubble.
Shortly after, a “food truck” type store parked next to the remains, obviously an expedient attempt to fill the existing need for a convenience store of sorts.
Shortly after, the truck burned down, similar charred remains of vehicle & products further scarring the scene.
The stores have not been replaced.
Poor workers, awaiting pick-up jobs, continue loitering there years later. The foundations remain, a reminder of what services were and won’t be.
Progressives, incredibly, encourage this.
I have only two questions for Steve Jensen, and I will post them once I find some time (/s) to get on Facebook.
Who (which party) did you vote for in the last election?
Who (which party) will you vote for in the next election?
That is pretty much the only information that is needed to show how serious anyone is on fixing problems.

I used to work in that building! It was an “up and coming” neighborhood then, and evidently still is.
What ? There ARE NO Criminals in the Democrat’s World
I wonder what could possibly be the common factor in these cases. I am sure CNN is on the case.
Thanks for your letter, citizen, but I’m afraid you have mistaken me for someone who gives a crap. Sincerely, Mayor Lightfoot.
