Electronic Monitoring For People Charged With Violent Crimes Should End Immediately, Lightfoot Says – Block Club Chicago

The mayor said 51 people have been arrested for a shooting or murder while on electronic monitoring this year, and there is “often [no] meaningful supervision” for people in the program. Local judges have let “almost 2,300 offenders with these charges back onto our streets, in our neighborhoods, on our blocks,” Lightfoot said. “It defies common sense, it is not safe, and this practice must be stopped immediately.”

Funny how the most progressive mayors have suddenly discovered criminal justice reform when polling shows residents find anarcho-tyranny extremely unpopular. First NY elects a tough on crime mayor, then even the SF mayor says cracking down on crimes, and now Lori, who a year and a half ago blamed the riots on the 1619 virus, suddenly finds that the BLM (burn, loot, murder) effect did the exact opposite of what the Marxist college textbooks said would happen.

800+ murders and suddenly public safety is a huge concern. Victims are overwhelming minority and convictions are minuscule. Yet, we are busy removing statues of dead Europeans.

Guns are innocent, people are quilty. What a liberal woke joke. Guns don’t fly around with a mind of their own pulling their own triggers.
