Reed’s criminal record includes nearly 50 prior arrests since 2017, with past convictions for arson, aggravated battery, and assault.

THIS. All of it.

Throwing people in jail seems to have done a great job of preventing crime. /s

We have the highest number of incarcerated people in the world and yet still plenty of crime. Throwing people in jail is not working. Maybe fix the actual problems instead of throwing people away.

Doesn’t matter what the actual number is or the percentage - It’s a big country! Let’s try for once to actually arrest offenders and keep all criminals in jail, and you’ll finally see law abiding people breathing freely without the relentless crime around them.

I don't believe this. This has been the idea conservatives have spouted basically since the inception of policing in this country. And never has this crime free utopia materialized. We just have more and more people behind bars, and for-profit prisons profiting. Violent crime is trending downward, yet you all remain afraid of your shadows. How about for once, we do something about the underlying problems?

I’m old enough to remember when it was a democratic president that signed in the Violent Crime Control Act of 1994. Three strikes that lead us to some of the lowest rates of crime at the turn of the century.

No. Crime rates are lower NOW.

Not really. Most crime stats are manipulated now so “nonviolent crimes” are not reported in the numbers. Theft for example Is actually on the rise compared to the 1990s thanks to the Internet and the ability to self checkout. That’s why many stores have items behind glass like CVS

When charges are dropped because the person is mentally ill, then the next time police see someone engaging in a crime or someone wants to file a police report nothing is done. No report is made so it appears crime is lower. And if they are charged it is plead down or dropped due to mental health.

Reed had been arrested 72 times. So how many convictions would you think that would be?

Well if you guessed a minimal number, you would be correct. He only has 15 convictions.

Take this case in February 2020. News reports state, "A 44-year-old man was arrested Friday after punching four women in the face, seemingly at random, near Harold Washington Library in the Loop...The man was punching the women at “random,” and may have struck between five and 10 of them, according to a preliminary report from Chicago police. They had bloody noses and other facial injuries" The article states 4 of the women had to go to the hospital. Additionally, he was arrested the week before for punching a man in the face unprovoked.

And what happened after he struck between 5 and 10 women in the face, which required 4 women to go by ambulance to the hospital. Those felony charges were dropped. So they aren't listed in any crime report.

But sure tell us all how crime has dropped and we all are so much safer from random violence.

Do you really think the schizophrenic homeless men attacking these women in trains are just like, hypnotized by Nick Fuentes or something?

There were 70, 70! chances to prevent this. The prosecutor begged the judge to hold him after this guy’s last unprovoked attack on a woman. She did not. And another innocent woman paid the price.

These criminals need to be treated like the rabid pitbulls they are and be permanently removed from society. It’s not in the best interest of the majority of the population that wants a safe, civil
society to keep these animals alive. The judges are worthless and need to be responsible for their incompetence as well. They did this as much as the criminal did it. They willingly let the rabid pitbull off the chain knowing what it’s capable of.

You don't get it, do you?

This isn't by accident. It's on purpose. You know....revolution...obligatory fist pump.

What's a step in "the revolution"? Destabilize society. It's all in the playbook. READ IT.

Sorry, stabbing was another case. I meant set someone on fire.

Actually, there were 72 chances.

“I can’t keep everybody in jail because the State’s Attorney wants me to.” That is what the judge said before releasing this monster with an ankle monitor. This judge should make a visit to the burn unit and see what her actions have caused.

And, he repeatedly violated his court-ordered curfew. Why have such a program if it is not monitored or enforced??

The 50-year-old man facing federal terrorism charges for allegedly setting a woman on fire aboard a Chicago train last week had repeatedly violated his court-ordered curfew and movement restrictions stemming from a prior violent offense case, court records show.

Lawrence Reed had been ordered onto electronic monitoring on Aug. 22, when Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez denied a prosecution request to keep him jailed on felony allegations that he knocked a social worker unconscious while at MacNeal Hospital’s psychiatric ward.

During that hearing, transcripts show Molina-Gonzalez told prosecutors: "I can’t keep everybody in jail because the State’s Attorney wants me to."

According to the newly filed document in that battery case, Cook County electronic monitoring records show Reed repeatedly violated his curfew and movement restrictions in the days leading up to the alleged Chicago Transit Authority attack on Nov. 17.

he logs detail multiple instances where Reed left his home with his ankle monitor without authorization, returned late, or triggered "escalated alerts" indicating prolonged or serious non-compliance.

The violations span several dates, including Nov. 9, Nov. 12–13, Nov. 14–15, and Nov. 15 again, with additional alerts on the night of Nov. 17 — the date of the alleged CTA attack.

This deranged criminal degenerate is a lost cause and his long rap sheet and complete indifference to any consequences shows it. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about him - he just needs to be thrown off the Jungfrau. Should have been done a long time ago. He's a waste of time and resources.

That judge should be removed from office. She clearly doesn't care about the harm violent criminals and the severely mentally ill might inflict on innocent victims.

What's wrong with putting the mentally ill in prison permanently especially if they are violent.

I totally agree. Too many judges are pro-criminal and care very little for the actual victims.

Lower does not = ok. Get back to us when you or one of your loved ones is shoved in front of a train, stabbed to death, or trying to live with burns over 60 % of your body. Mentally ill, violent individuals need to be locked up or in an institution or closely supervised group home.

It's not lower. They just decided not to make half the crimes reportable and make many offenses reclassified to others, so they don't get reported.

That's what happens when you're stuck to an ideology and it fails, instead of using common sense.

The judges should be sued by the victims-- heck, big class action against them by the citizens since the judges are endangering the civilized population. The moment the judges free the criminals, they should take personal responsibility for the outcome-- you let the disease out and set it on the citizens, you take responsibility for what happens to the citizens.

Should we be allowed to sue police officers personally when they kill an unarmed person? I hope you have the same smoke for other miscarriages of justice that occur on a regular basis.
