Cook county judge. Another dim cesspool.

18
He made it to 18 known crimes.

Not his age but Alice Cooper song may apply to him.

Eighteen

Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I’m in the middle without any plans
I’m a boy and I’m a man

I’m eighteen
And I don’t know what I want
Eighteen

I gotta get away
I gotta get out of this place
I’ll go runnin’ in outer space

Oh yeah
I got a
Baby’s brain and an old man’s heart
Took eighteen years to get this far

Don’t always know what I’m talkin’ about
Feels like I’m livin’ in the middle of doubt
‘Cause I’m
Eighteen
I get confused every day
Eighteen
I just don’t know what to say
Eighteen
I gotta get away

Eighteen
Eighteen
Eighteen

When you know you’re not going to be punished for whatever crimes of theft you commit, what deterrent is there to get you to stop?

In the grim story this is almost (almost) humorous:
“....restaurant workers claimed Chicago cops weren’t doing anything about the crimes. In fact, CPD had an active investigation going on for weeks. They even won assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service after the puffy coat guys stole the wallet and work credentials from a federal judge’s law clerk.”
Marshals are going to continue their search as soon as the digitized evidence on their laptop is found. Stolen from the police car. (kidding)

18 strikes and you’re out?

Based on recent FBI profiling, I expected very pretty and well dressed white women. Color me surprised.
