Democrat Cook County judge releases him on $400 bail.
This is the latest progressive enthusiasm. They’re pushing this in California as well.
Always a dem.
They have no respect for anyone but the criminals.
You have to wonder what is the inner motivation that guides Judges to a decision like this one?
Is there a feeling of being a ‘kindred spirit’?
Some Judges appear to serve for the purpose of releasing poison on civilized society.
What are the races involved? It should not matter at all, but with many of self centered, race or sex always matters.
Black judge, black rapist. Woman was probably white.
The Judge is a Democrat.
Democrats punish and prosecute the innocent.
Democrats protect the guilty.
Democrats protect the criminal element.
Democrats and common sense have nothing in common.
Democrats and decency have nothing in common.
From the article: “In 2015, for example, more than 1,000 inmates in the Cook County Jail had served more time in custody than they were ultimately sentenced to serve, according to Dart’s office.”
So what! IF THAT JUDGE is letting the bus driver out with only $400.00 bail then what was the sentencing criteria before? Were these bad guys/gals getting off with hand slaps, or were they getting legitimate sentences relative to the crime? The article doesn’t address the issue any further.
I would expect far better journalism than this from Thomas Lifson.
“to make bail affordable for poor people”
Lawmakers need to think about the consequences of their actions.
If those so called “poor people” are upset at bail being too high they should protest by not committing the crimes in the first place
Many “judges” deserve a good dragging behind a pick em up truck down a rocky dirt road.
There is no justice or law where Democrats govern.
This might be the same judge who set $300.00 bail on someone caught in possession of 1 million dollars of cocaine in their car.
A bus driver? The judge probably figured the driver would hang around long enough to qualify for his $100,000/year pension.
