Cook County to not prosecute crimes committed during "protests"


vito

Recommended Posts

States's Attorney Foxx said she would not prosecute misdemeanor criminal violence, as well as some felonies such as aggravated assaults if committed during what she called "peaceful protests". It seems that there are some exceptions to this, such as if the assault was against a police officer. But I guess if you are just an ordinary citizen walking down the street, and some Antifa of BLM thug decides to beat you half to death because you are white, or because you look like (to them) that you might be a Trump supporter or whatever, even if arrested the thug will walk free and clear. This is so far beyond sane that I am stunned that this was a small article in today's Chicago Tribune rather than banner headlines to alert the public of this idiocy. It shows that the Democrat leadership of Chicago and Cook County have totally surrendered to the mob in the streets. If I lived in that county I would not even consider walking out the door of my home without sufficient firepower to protect myself from at least the first few attackers from a mob. What is wrong with these people?

Not only does it show how they have completely caved to BLM and Antifa it also shows how sad it is today to be a journalist. This SHOULD be a top headline but if the media is under control they can put it towards the back pages in small print buried by many other articles and still claim they reported on it. Never mind the slant they add to it too.

But look at the resources deployed when Jusse Smollett was the victim of an alleged hate crime hoax.

The bottom line is that all of us need to REALLY accept that no one but ourselves will protect us, that the criminal justice system is not about justice but about advancing an agenda (and in Chicago that agenda is not anywhere related to our real interests), and that the time is approaching where we will have to do more than comment on our forums and post our anger on social media.

...and stay out of liberal run cities at all costs.

 

Well said.

How does one commit aggravated assault while protesting peacefully?

I know we live near St. Louis. I'm a recent FOID applicant. Just got new status so awaiting mail at this point. But pretty much I've told my wife that I have no desire to ever see Chicago. I'm careful where in St Louis I go these days to. We work on the outskirts of the city, and we are usually keeping an eye out for stuff in the news. I'm fortunate we have at least 2 routes we can take to go home so I can usually route around to avoid areas. Google maps is quite handy at times also.

 

We recently went to Ohio to see my parents where I grew up. We avoided Columbus as there was word that vehicles would get surrounded downtown by people thinking civilians were cops and people getting attached. Pretty much from what we read, police were getting stand down orders.

 

Gives me a new respect for those folks. Because right now they don't have an easy job at all.
