Why would he be charged with misdemeanors for the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession without a valid FOID card? Aren't these charges felonies?

Clout?

They were just piling everything on they could think of. No different from someone who gets arrested for felony aggravated fleeing and eluding also getting charged with failing to wear a seatbelt.

I know someone pulled over with over a 1/2 pound of pot in baggies (making deliveries) and a firearm with no FOID, two misdemeanors no lawyer and he was slightly inconvenienced, even the court costs weren't that much. We have entire cities that have chosen to ignore federal laws why should we expect the people to be any different?

Gang affiliation gets you off with a lighter sentence. He'll be out in 13 months maximum.

 

 

Seriously though, I know of someone (non gang banger) who was illegally carrying a loaded firearm, per the letter of the law. He was charged with misdemeanor illegal transport of a firearm.
