Clerk of Cook County courts calls for more security after Daley Center breach – WBEZ (Chicago)

“The sheriff’s office has got to do better at securing safety,” Iris Martinez told WBEZ. “That’s their job.” Her comments followed a letter from the chief judge, Timothy Evans, to Sheriff Tom Dart, in which Evans also called for additional security after an incident involving an “angry litigant” who was yelling for a judge before kicking in the locked courtroom door.

Tim “we haven’t had any horrible incidents” Evans doesn’t feel safe!

It’s all well and good to let violent people out and about until one goes off against a judge, right Judge Tim? Us average people don’t have the luxury of personal protection when a violent offender with an ankle bracelet decides he’s had enough. Hypocrite.

Why wasn’t the angry person doing a video meeting from the Cook County Jail. Oh, that’s right, Timmies policies of free the criminals policiy required he be let out without bond or bail.
