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.
It just confirms why my family and friends won’t set foot in Chicago…for any reason. We take our money elsewhere.
Crime is down.
I love that these people are destroying their own communities by letting their children run wild. These aren’t outside invaders, or natural disasters, or a foreign army. It’s 17 year old kids in the neighborhood destroying the very fabric of society.
Do we have a description of the perpatrators?
Was the car thief responsible for multiple people being injured held in custody or did the SAFET rules apply and he was released from custody so he could steal another car and go to the regularly scheduled gang meeting at the democratic precinct captains hall?
Don’t demonize. They’re not “ little Capones “.
For sure he was let go, the question is what watered down charges did he receive. Can you prove he stole the car? No, then he’s charged with trespass to a motor vehicle which is essentially a traffic ticket. He probably also received some additional traffic tickets. He’ll walk, no jail time and good luck collecting on any civil judgement for damages. If we really had smart reporters they would ask Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor if she supported the law that changed possession of a stolen vehicle to trespass to a vehicle.
