None of his seven other arrests resulted in jail time.

How’s that SAFE-T act working out for you…
This little Capone should be strapped into old sparky and let the electrons do their job.
problem solved!
Yep, Pinhead…your plan is working perfectly. There is no problem. All is well. Pay no attention to the 16 year old career criminal who is now charged with murder who has been arrested 7 or 8 times and released each time. Yep – that makes sense. Nope nothing to see here. This happens everywhere.
Pinhead and Jumbo’s liberal and racist policies make Illinois and certainly Chicago an unpredictable and unsafe place.
