'You bet my bail reforms will kill people': Shocking 2007 admission of woke Waukesha DA John Chisolm who GUARANTEED innocent people would be murdered by the killers he sets free

Wow … that he can get away with such a blatant disregard for public safety for so long in favor of his personal activism leaves me dumbfounded and speechless.

The Judge makes himself an accessory to all crimes, pain and suffering that results from his activism-based, blatant disregard for his job and for the trust the community has in his doing it reasonably well.

It’s just a real shame the people harmed as a result don’t have and can’t find some relief for what has happened to them as a result or that it won’t keep happening to others.

There should be consequences for him in this world beyond his maybe losing his job or a few bad words being written about him in the comments section from time to time.

It’s said that all it takes for evil to win is for the good to do nothing and here evil is either being ignored or being rewarded for being evil.

We’re done here.

This has been going on for a long time in a lot of different places. I don’t know how many times I have heard about a habitual criminal who has been let out on low bail or served reduced sentences - basically a slap on the wrist — and then winds up doing something horrific. It’s nice to know the criminal justice system will come in at that point to clean up the mess it helped to make. It’s cold comfort to the victims, though.

Is this scumbag still in office? If so, why?

[SunkenCiv]

We wouldn't need volunteers to defend things, like Kyle Rittenhouse, if DAs followed the law and did the job they're supposed to do. Get the rope.

[Paladin2]

NW Milwaukee is not an Urban Utopia after all.

That scumbag Chisholm was also heavily involved in the "John Doe" investigations during which police terrorized families by staging in predawn raids on the homes of conservatives in search of evidence of "campaign violations." A gag order was then imposed on the victims of the raids, who were threatened with prison if they talked to anyone about them.

I agree, and I’m not arguing against the death penalty.

This DA might be an idiot with the reforms he is making. But at least he is not naive to think that there is not some cost to what he is doing.

But I really question whether a DA is meant to have such authority or is entitled by law to make such decisions.

Lock up the DA’s who exceed their authority with lives lost as a result.

[mewzilla]

Is the DA’s office going to cover any funeral, medical care, rehab costs incurred by the families of the dead and injured...?

Someone should ask the DA.

[fuzzylogic]

Then it is a crime, period, full-stop, end of story.

It’s an admission to conspiring to commit murder. Just because he doesn’t know WHO is irrelevant. He knew it would happen and he enabled it deliberately and recklessly.

[Myrddin]

The DA that lets a criminal out needs to be made accessory to any crime that criminal commits due to not being detained. Put some skin in the game. If you're going to put the public at risk with a bad decision, there must be a consequence for that action.

[rlmorel]

hahahahahahaha I may have to watch that movie again!

[COBOL2Java]

What a guy...

[Bonemaker]

He’s Milwaukee County DA not Waukesha. Milwaukee is typical urban democrat shithole whereas Waukesha is normal, republican heartland America.

[gitmo]

You gotta wonder why no one has taken care of this.

[Sirius Lee]

Chisolm is an accomplice to murder. If he isn’t indicted, then the families of the victims should still sue him into perpetual pauperhood.

[Ancesthntr]

In 2007, Chisolm told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: ‘Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into treatment program, who’s going to go out and kill somebody? You bet. Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen.

‘It does not invalidate the overall approach.’

---

So if a really traumatized, grief-stricken and pissed-off family member of someone murdered by a criminal that this jackhole, Chisolm, basically set free to commit said murder were to take revenge by murdering Chisholm, would the “overall approach” be “invalidated,” or not? Just asking, not advocating anything.

What a complete sack of $hit this guy is: he knew, from Day One, that doing this nonsense with bail would result in innocents being murdered...but did it anyway. All he had to do was NOTHING, and many innocents (at least 5, so far) would be alive, just from this one miscreant being released. ALL of the blood, and ALL of the pain and suffering is on his hands, the utter scumbag.

[HKMk23]

Looks to me like a simple matter of “You reap what you sow.”

Folks up there have, for 14 years, failed to take out the trash.

Maybe now?

Maybe NOW there’s enough innocent blood spoiled to provoke assholes to vote against an obvious malevolent miscreant.

[Analogisbetter]

“It does not invalidate the overall approach.”

That’s just another way of saying, “It’s for the greater good.”

[HKMk23]

NOT to put too fine a point on it, but...

The recall election is...when?

‘Cuz, frankly, if nothing happens pretty much IMMEDIATELY, it’s ZERO stretch to just conclude that this kind of thing is no more than what Waukesha residents regard as “the cost of doing business” at the DA’s office.

CLEAN IT UP, OR SHUT UP!

THAT’S the choice that’s on the table now.

[euram]

he should be charged with DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE.

Depraved indifference is a type of conduct that lacks so much regard for the life of another person that it may warrant criminal liability to the same degree as a person intentionally committing a crime.
