This is why we have gun murder in Chicago.......the politicians appoint prosecutors and judges who simply will not take gun criminals seriously. These two felons are felons.....they cannot buy, own or carry guns, and the fact they got guns in Chicago...a city with strict gun control laws shows how dumb gun control is.....
Chicago brass blame ‘broken’ system after parolee shoots off-duty officer
A 24-year-old man is facing several charges after shooting an off-duty Chicago police officer during a robbery early Monday morning, and while the man remains behind bars, officials blame what they refer to as a “broken” system for the violent offender being released from prison in the first place.
According to reports from the Chicago Tribune, the robbery occurred when the 49-year-old officer, who has not been named, was returning home around 2:30 a.m. after studying for an exam to become a detective.
Samuel Harviley and an accomplice, both armed with handguns, approached the officer’s vehicle, each from opposite sides, as the officer sat outside of his home.
-------
On Wednesday, the day of Harviley’s bond hearing, city officials showed dissatisfaction at the justice system that set Harviley free just three months prior. Following a conviction for carjacking in 2011, Harviley was sentenced to nine years in state prison. After serving four years, on New Year’s Eve he was released.
“The fact that a convicted felon and gun offender is yet again out on early release to torment communities is representative of the types of individuals who are overwhelmingly driving the recent spike in violence,” said interim police Superintendent John Escalante. “Time and time again, CPD officers risk their lives to uphold repeated gun offenders accountable and we will stop at nothing to continue that promise, but more needs to happen to change the culture of violence and increase accountability.”
this monster should have still been in prison...and even in a city plagued by gang gun violence........they let out a violent felon who was put in prison for a crime he committed with a gun........that is why we have so much gun crime in this country......
Normal people carrying guns for self defense are not shooting off victims while committing robberies.....but for some odd reason, all the gun control the anti gun morons push is aimed directly at normal people....and they could care less about guys like this monster.....
