A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
SAFET Act, brainchild of Illinois democrats, is another example of democrats loving criminals and not caring the slightest about victims. No more offender as anyone who is a criminal will now be called a “Justice impacted person”. Justice impacted persons really don’t care what you call them as long as they can rob, rape, steal, shoot, carjack, deal drugs with impunity as there are no consequences. Thank you democrats and may you soon be the victim of a violent crime.
McHenry County is on the verge of turning Blue. Some of these cities around Algonquin, Dundee, they’re D+40 or worse. Dundee Crown High School has trans & globohomo flags hanging in their lobbies of their buildings. Thousands of kids a day walk under a tranny flag at these schools.
Would it be any different if he paid bail?
Hey Hey, hold on a minute. People around here don’t appreciate those types of thoughtful questions. People are looking to rage and not utilize any critical thinking.
The sensible thing to do would’ve been to keep him in custody. What could go wrong with letting a repeat child molester from out of state walk freely amongst the public, right? Any odds on him not showing for his court appearance?
Agreed but that wasn’t the question. Would he have been eligible for bail under the old system?
Don’t think so……child molesters are frowned on even by other criminals
Are you saying that before the safe t act that people accused of child molesting were automatically denied bail? I didn’t realize that.
Which old system? The old, old system or the newer one, instituted about 2019, when “ affordable bail “ was introduced by those that felt there “ were too many folks in jail “? BTW, 36 offenders released last year went on to commit 50+ crimes, killing 19 people, while out on low/ no bail, electronic monitoring, etc.
The 8th amendment has been part of our constitution for quite some time and well before 2019. You still haven’t answered the question so we can all assume that this defendant would have been offered bail even before the safe t act.
