This mayor and States Attorney are a disgrace. Let's let all the criminals out of jail to commit more violent crimes and let's berate and dehumanize every policeman in the police department. You two are the true criminals. May the swift justice you deserve find you. Shame on you both.
ReplyDeleteI think you forgot to throw in the Super Socialists Dart & Preckwinkle.
DeleteI know that's right.
DeleteI wonder if any of this bothers those decision makers in County government, who were and are still compliant with this policy. Do you think it bothers them that the people who voted for them are being assaulted, hurt, killed as a result of their policies. Didn't someone post here that the County Sheriffs office has no idea of who they released from the jail during the covid scare. Wouldn't have been easier just to give them masks and put them in separate cells? Oh yeah, we've got that progressive, innovative sheriff who promoted pizza parties as a deterrent to keep the inmates from whacking off in front of females having business at the jail. Brilliant. It doesn't matter to me who runs against the Sheriff next time around, I'll vote for him.
