An Illinois judge ignored a prosecutor's warnings that a man who is now accused of setting a commuter on fire was likely to attack again and allowed him to walk free, court records show.

Lawrence Reed, 50, was released on an ankle monitor after assaulting a social worker in August, CBS News reported.

Despite the prosecutor warning Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez that Reed had a lengthy rap sheet and his next crime would 'likely be violent,' she allowed him to walk free.

it is unbelievable that these judges let criminals go 50+ times, but threw the book at the J6 defendants, most of which were first time offenders.

Such judges should be doxed. They must be confronted by the families of the people harmed by their bizarre decisions.

I'd prefer they be removed from the bench and have their law licenses rescinded.

judges need to be stripped of the protections from being sued that allow them to let criminals off easy.

If victims families were allowed to sue judges who had set criminals free over and over. This would stop

Fifty arrests and multiple felony convictions.

This is what 3-strikes laws were intended to address.

I think I finally decided what’s going on. The Liberals’ passion for gargantuan, messy and wholly unrestrained governance makes a perfect breeding ground for the many insignificant people who finally get their chance to pretend they are important and to play God with other peoples’ lives! 😠🤨

Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez.

“Appointed in 2019 by the Illinois Supreme Court, Judge Teresa Molina is the first Puerto Rican ever to be appointed and elected to a countywide judicial vacancy in Cook County.”

Every day now it seems the Judicial Branch is now the ruling power in this Republic. Why should we keep on funding Congre$$ and the $upreme Clown$ of the US?
