You are such a lying moron....
Political parties set policy on law enforcement, prosecutions, taxes, regulations...and they all effect the crime rate you doofus.
These are just some of the policies that allow violent, repeat criminals to slaughter people in democrat cities....you doofus...
Chief judge says there have been no "horrible incidents" under his affordable bail program. These people might disagree, if they only they were still alive.
Two years into an “affordable bail” initiative that is allowing most accused gun offenders and even accused murderers to be released from jail to await trial, Cook County’s chief judge says the program is working fabulously.
----------
There are likely many people who would disagree with Evans’ definition of “horrible incidents” — if they were still alive to do so.
• On Feb. 9, Daryl Williams violated the terms of a court-ordered curfew, secured an illegal handgun, and then fatally shot 45-year-old Daniel Smith in the back of the head, prosecutors allege.
Three months earlier, Judge Stephanie Miller released Williams on a recognizance bond after he was charged with illegally possessing a stolen handgun near a “shots fired” incident on the South Side.
“That was me,” Williams allegedly told police. “I let off two rounds to see if [the gun] worked.”
Williams is now being held without bail as he awaits trial for murder.

• In August, someone fatally shot 34-year-old Neal Sumrell as he sat in his car in Humboldt Park. Someone also shot a woman who was in Sumrell’s vehicle as she tried to run away.
Prosecutors say they know who at least one of the shooters was: Antwane Lashley.
The 18-year-old who was free on a recognizance bond and electronic monitoring at the time of the shootings after cops said they caught him with an illegal handgun on the West Side in May.
Lashley was on juvenile probation for aggravated battery, causing great bodily harm at the time of his gun arrest, according to court records. He is now being held without bail as he awaits trial for murder.
• In May, prosecutors say, 30-year-old Antawan Smith murdered 15-year-old Jaylin Ellzey in a drive-by shooting. When police arrested Smith during a traffic stop two weeks later, officers reported finding a loaded handgun in his car.
At the time of the murder, Smith was free on bail while awaiting trial for Class X felony armed violence with a weapon; felony manufacture-delivery of cocaine; felony repeated unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and felony aggravated fleeing. Smith was on parole for illegal possession of a handgun when cops arrested him on those charges in September. His bond amount? $6,000.
He’s now held without bail as he awaits trial for Ellzey’s murder and the earlier charges.
• In May 2018, a judge released 18-year-old Randy Wilson to await trial after prosecutors charged him with criminal trespass to a vehicle. But things escalated when Chicago police allegedly found him carrying a handgun illegally one month later. But, another judge released him to await trial again.
Three weeks later, a 50-year-old man told police that Wilson and three other men robbed him and two teenagers on the South Side. Police arrested Wilson and wrote in a report that he was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet when they found him. Prosecutors charged him with two counts of attempted robbery with a firearm.
He paid a $2,500 deposit bond to get out of jail. And, of course, the judge ordered him to be on electronic monitoring which didn’t help much before.
Gunday: A look at how the courts are handling some recent weapons charges in Chicago
Near North incident
You may remember our Oct. 30 report about a Near North woman who called police because a man fired a shot through her door after she kicked him out of her apartment on the 700 block of North Dearborn.The woman called police again early on Nov. 2 after she and her brother saw the alleged offender in the first block of West Huron.Officers arrived and arrested 35-year-old Christopher Stanley after confirming that the victim identified him by name in her police report, according to court records. During a search, police allegedly found a handgun in Stanley’s possession.Prosecutors charged Stanley with being a felon in possession of a firearm but not with the alleged shooting. Judge John Lyke set bail at $5,000 and Stanley went free by posting a $500 deposit bond.In May 2002, prosecutors dropped four counts of attempted murder and four other felonies in a plea deal with Stanley. In exchange for pleading guilty to aggravated discharge of a firearm, Stanley received a sentence of eight years, court records show.
Then you have this.....a gun charge while on parole for an illegal gun charge....
Gun charge while on parole for a gun charge
A man who escaped an armed habitual criminal charge in a plea deal with prosecutors two years ago is now charged with being an armed habitual criminal again after police say they found him with a gun in Old Town.
Chervon Jackson, 31, was paroled in January after serving half of a four-year sentence that he received for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon in 2017.
Then, on Nov. 3, police pulled over a car on the 1200 block of North Sedgwick because its plates were expired. Officers asked all of the vehicle’s occupants to step out of the car after the driver allegedly admitted that a drink container in the center console contained Hennessey cognac.
Seated in the passenger seat, Jackson made “furtive movements” and did not immediately step out of the car, police said. Once he was outside, police allegedly found a .45-caliber in his waistband.
Prosecutors charged him with Class X felony armed habitual criminal, felony unlawful use of a weapon, and misdemeanor obstruction of identification. In addition to the 2017 gun case, police say Jackson was also convicted of unlawful use of a weapon and burglary in 2004.
Judge Charles Beach ordered Jackson held without bail and the Illinois Department of Corrections issued a warrant for a parole violation, according to court records.

Boudin spoke at his election celebration in supposedly conciliatory terms, but if you look closely, he wasn't conciliatory, and his remarks were very anti-police.
Here's the San Francisco Chronicle report:
When Chesa Boudin is sworn in as San Francisco's new district attorney, he said, he will immediately get to work reforming the city's criminal justice system. Some goals, like ending mass incarceration, will take time. But others, like doing away with gang enhancements and ending money bail, will begin on day one, he said.
Ending mass incarceration on the logic that there are a lot of them in the can puts a lot of thugs out on the streets to prey on the locals. In Chavista Venezuela, that was useful for keeping the street protests down, of course. Boudin uses the more Sorosian argument that the only reason these criminals are in the can is racism, not anything they might have done.
He also says he's going to end "gang enhancements," which means extra charges for doing things gang leaders want their gangster peons to do, such as pick off an innocent bystander to prove bona fides. No wonder the Police Officer's Union called a Chesa D.A.-ship a gangster's delight. That certainly ends penalties for thugs for "only obeying orders," as the Nazis at Nuremberg put it. Gang enhancements, said young Chesa, "are explicitly racist."
His other "transform" initiative is to end money bail for assorted acts of thuggery. Ending money bail will make it even more profitable to commit crimes — and already every thief in San Fran gets a "free" $950 to steal from merchants as it is, given that no one gets busted for anything less. Now there's no need for cash bail for even those who take more.
Here's another sleazy set of false conciliations from the stepson of "Guilty as Hell, Free as a Bird." Commenting on the opposition of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, Boudin made the appearance of sounding nice:
Brockton man arrested a third time in 15 months on gun charges
For the third time in 15 months, a Brockton man with gang ties is facing gun charges after being arrested for leading officers on a car chase in the city Friday afternoon, police said.
------------------------
For Patrick Brandao, Friday’s arrest was one of three times he has been charged with gun crimes since October 2014.
On April 15 last year, 18 Brockton police officers responded to a car chase that led to the arrest of Brandao and another man.
Police observed a vehicle, with Brandao inside, on Winthrop Street that appeared to be circling around the neighborhood.
After a motor vehicle infraction, officers attempted pull the vehicle over and they took off.
About a mile away on Linnea Avenue, Brandao and the other man jumped out of the car and fled on foot. The car continued down the road for another 100 feet and struck a fire hydrant, police said.
The two were arrested and a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun was seized.
In Stoughton on Oct. 17, 2014, Brandao was arrested during a raid by the State Police Gang Unit.
Officers executed a search warrant at 97 Pratts Court and found a .40 caliber Glock and 9mm Ruger. Both guns were loaded and equipped with high-capacity magazines. Also seized was 10 grams of heroin and $4,500 cash.
In addition, at age 18, in 2011, Brandao was arrested by the Brockton Police Gang Unit after a traffic stop for speeding that led to detectives finding a .22 caliber handgun under a seat in the vehicle, police said.
