This is the story of why Chicago has a high gun murder rate. It has absolutely nothing to do with law abiding gun owners who own and carry guns for self defense....
The cause.....Chicago does not take violent gun criminals seriously, no matter how many people are murdered by them, and they keep letting them out of jail over and over again....
If you want to stop gun crime....you have to lock up gun criminals before they murder people.....
You don't stop gun crime and gun murder by making it harder for law abiding gun owners to buy and carry guns....
They are not the ones shooting people...
Alleged killer of Chicago police commander was on the streets due to unusually light sentence for major parole violations
Chicago Police commander Paul Bauer was savagely executed, “shot six times in the head, neck, torso, back and wrist.” No fewer than “three civilian witnesses identified Shomari Legghette in a police lineup as the man who struggled with Bauer at the top of a stairwell outside the Thompson Center in the Loop moments before his death” less than a month ago.
Now it turns out that Legghette should have been in prison on any rational basis, but wasn’t because Chicago’s justice system is “a joke” in the eyes of criminals -- in the words of Chicago’s police superintendent.
Greg Re of the Chicago Sun-Times describes how it is that Legghette was free to do what he wished in the streets of Chicago:
The suspect who allegedly gunned down Chicago police Commander Paul Bauer near City Hall earlier this month received an unusually light sentence for major parole violations in 2007, court records show.
-------
The documents, reviewed by the Chicago Sun-Times, reveal that Bauer's accused killer, Shomari Legghette, dodged up to 30 years in prison when he was booked for the violations that year.
At the time of his 2007 sentencing, Legghette was on parole following an armed robbery conviction that landed him a 16-year sentence, and prison time from 1998 to 2005.
Records show that police found Legghette in the South Side in 2007 with $1,800 in cash, body armor, a chrome revolver, and a baggie of heroin, the Sun-Times reported.
Evidently, this was not regarded as THAT serious:
But instead of pursuing felony charges for those parole violations, records show, prosecutors opted to send Legghette to prison for only a few weeks after he pled guilty to a lesser charge of possessing a weapon with a defaced serial number.
The only way to stop gun murder is to take guys like this and lock them up for life.......he was a repeat, violent gun offender......he was on parole for a gun crime when he was caught with another illegal gun.....and they let him go...he then went out and murdered this police officer......and who knows who else that we don't know about....
So anti gunners......don't come here and tell us banning guns is the solution...don't tell us that law abiding gun owners are the problem.....
This is your city.....anti gun democrats control this city....and they are the ones letting violent gun criminals back on the streets...
Not the NRA.
Not Marco Rubio.
Not Dana Loesch.
Not law abiding gun owners.
Anti gun democrats are the ones fueling gun violence and gun murder by letting violent gun criminals out of jail....
