Spare the Rod...

  • Probably the most significant way that Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle continues to distinguish herself from her political brethren is by challenging the get tough law-and-order assumptions underlying our criminal justice system.

    On Friday, Preckwinkle opened a new front in her campaign for a more thoughtful approach to crime and punishment by seeking an end to the Illinois law that requires juveniles accused of certain felonies to be tried and sentenced in adult court.

    Preckwinkle said she will make elimination of the state’s “automatic transfer” law her top criminal justice priority in the Legislature, likely putting her on a collision course with Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.
Just another in a long line of democrats catering to the criminal class. Reduced penalties, early releases, low bonds, shameful plea deals, and now this. The entire goal for Prickwrinkle appears to be electronic home monitoring for any and all offenses.

This is the Democrat strategy of "move the goal post." Their economic and family destruction of the Black family is more and more evident and more and more indefensible as the body count mounts. This is a last ditch distraction to confuse the sheep as follows: There is no crime epidemic caused by Democrat policies, there is only a racist over-policing. You've seen the same technique with the Garner/Brown cases. Since the truth does not fit the Obama narrative, all the death and pain caused by Democrat voters must be falsely blamed on race as a last ditched effort to save the Democrat party. The body count of minorities is inconsequential to the cause of Socialism!

Too many blacks and other minorities being persecuted by the police. Maybe if as many white devils went to jail as blacks thinks would be OK.

The criminals will learn the errors of their ways on the fortieth or fiftieth trip through the revolving doors of just-us. That was the problem with arresting Eric Garner in NYC. He only was arrested 31 times, he never had his chance to learn his lessons that "Crime Does Not Pay."

Rather than getting rid of the automatic transfer - spend some money on signs. Billboards, and such in the neighborhoods where most auto transfers occur.

Put the little aspiring criminal shits on notice that this is what's going to happen EVERY DAMN TIME they commit one of the following offenses....

Might put a crimp in it before it gets started.

But dialing down the penalty? Not going to do a damn thing. And preckwinkle ought to be made to live in one of those war zone neighborhoods sans security detail or any concealed firearms... Let's see how long she holds out...

Imprisonment would be on the honor system in their world.

While I think that we should contract out our most violent, long-term/life storage types to Mexican prisons.

If Preckwinkle was smart. Non violent drug dealers should not necessarily get prison time.

I would rather seem them picking up trash in their own neighborhoods and along the Eisenhower expressway.

Why, Toni? Is it because the youths in Crook County are under control? Is it because some areas in the city are no longer "no go" zones for civilized people? Is it because good people are now able to walk freely in every part of Chicago?

I am not seeing it. It looks like mayhem and chaos out there. It's not exactly the time to lighten up on the criminals, Toni. That's what they are, criminal. You get that right?

If anyone is interested or educated politically. Right now, the Demos see their party is shifting. The Left is in trouble, their game is done. Everyone one of their talking points one abortion, birth control, gay marriage, immigration have got no spunk as it once did. People dont care about those things. hell, Chicago can not even elect a governor, per the last election. It once did back in the daley days. Now the best it can do is get out 10 percent of the city to vote, as per the last election.

in the future, only 2 things are going to matter, 1. Taxes, i dont want to pay 10k in property taxes and cant drive with out playing wacka mole with potholes... 2. Crime, I dont want to get oral sex-ed on the CTA. If they demos can not cater, they will be done. But as we know it, they are creating a generation of voters, obama phone anyone?

A sign of the times.

- Up is down, down is up.

- Don't work? Don't worry - someone else is doing it for you.

- Rights of criminals often seem more important to people than rights of victims.

- Rights of animals often seem more important than rights of people.

- Unborn children, have fewer rights than unborn eagles. (Yeah. Plan on going to jail if you destroy an eagle egg.)

- God/prayer in schools? - forget it. Don't even wear a cross to some schools or you're going home.

- "Merry Christmas" has become an insult.

- If I disagree with homosexuality, and share my thoughts, I'm labeled "intolerant". (But isn't labeling me as intolerant ALSO intolerant???)

We're like the kid who is itching to leave home and disregard his parent's guidance, teachings, etc. THIS is what happens when a society doesn't need godly morals anymore. We're wallowing in our own mire. All Fucked Up.

FYI "kids" do not get an automatic transfer for minor crimes. Perhaps you think murder and armed robbery with a firearm are just juvenile pranks. There are reasons for that law. Years ago it would be up to a juvenile court judge to make the transfer decision. In Cook County the judges did not do their job and kept the predators out of the prisons where they earned their right to rot.

sorry its a little long

Any Street, Anywhere USA
Victim: Officer, officer! That man just stole my purse!
Officer: Good morning ma'm, or does that pronoun offend you. If so, please advise me of the correct pronoun I may use in order to not....
victim: Officer, you're not listening to me! That man stole my purse.
officer: That gentleman across the street?
Victim: Yeah, that's him.
officer: Okay, let me go talk to him.
victim: He's a big guy, don't you want some help?
Officer: Oh no, anything that might give the appearance of a show of force isn't allowed.
Officer leaves to talk to the alleged suspect and then returns:
Officer: Is it a red purse with black trim and brass colored clasp with the initials MS on the side?
Victim: That's it, my name is Mary Smith and those are my initials. That's my purse.
Officer: I figured it was yours, he doesn't look like the purse type. The problem is he doesn't want to give it back.
Victim: Well, arrest him, he robbed me of that purse. He punched me, knocked me down and then took my purse. Look at this bruise on my arm, and I'm bleeding from my forehead.
Officer: I'm afraid I can't do that. He said he wouldn't allow me to arrest him. I can call the EMS folks though to treat you for your injuries. There will be a fee of course.
Victim: What??!! You have to arrest him. He committed a robbery and I'm the victim. I demand you arrest him.
Officer: I'm afraid I can't do that. He said he would fight if I tried to arrest him and our new Rules Of Engagement don't allow us to confront a hostile suspect.
Victim: Rules Of Engagement? What the hell is that?
Officer: Basically it means if the alleged suspect offers any resistance, or even says he will resist, our Rules Of Engagement say we shall not "engage". It's really quite simple and it makes our job much simpler. No more fights, no violence involved and everyone is much safer that way aren't they?
Victim: But he robbed me and he's standing right there, you mean you can't do anything?
Officer: Oh, whether or not I could do something doesn't matter. I'm not allowed to confront a possibly hostile suspect. Perhaps you could talk to him and see if he will come down to the precinct house and turn himself in.
Victim: That's it? That's all you can do?
Officer: Well, I can give you our website and you can make a report of this alleged crime. It's a really neat website, designed by the same folks that did that Affordable Care Act site. And I'd be glad to give you the office phone numbers for Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Eric Holder.
Victim: Will they do anything?
Officer: Not really, they're only interested if I do something.
Victim: Well did you at least get his name so I know who the bad guy is when I make this report?
Officer: No, he didn't want to give me his name, and gosh all I can do is ask.
Victim: This is incredible. He's just standing over there like he knows nothing will be done about this.
Officer: I know. Happens all the time now. Well, have a nice day and call any time, we're here to help.
Victim: But officer.
Officer: You'll have to excuse me, I have to go apologize to that gentlemen for disrupting his day.

There ya go right there.

no different than the following:

"Why did they have to shoot that man 14 times?"

"Why did they have to choke that man to death?"

"Why couldn't they just shoot him in the leg?"

A distinct and separate avenue of criminal justice for a specific segment of society is the ultimate form of racism, and this approach will only serve to further separate one group of people from another. When the Derrick Roses and Samuel Jacksons of the world succeed in brainwashing elements of the "whiter" segments of society into thinking that they are being proactive and supportive of "change", then we can be assured of another half century of dependent, recipient, recidivist offenders, who will plunder themselves and our offspring.

Preckwinkle and other liberals seem to believe, and have so stated, that it is the police who criminalize black youth. The reason so many black youths are incarcerated is the fact the police are too heavy handed in black areas and arrest too many blacks. The police are driving the crime rate up. This is proven by the fact that too many blacks are in jail for drug offenses when whites use drugs at a greater rate then blacks. Time for a national discussion, not just a lecture by Holder and Obama and Sharpton.

I heard this one before and as I asked, my social justice major, where is the proof of this? Well? You dopes just parrot what some leftist tells you.

Let me tell you something, Bunky, I went to a shit school on the west side for 2 years over 40 years ago. Wanna guess some of what I found out? 14 year olds were robbing each other. For a damn NICKEL and or a DIME. A young boy was stabbed to death in his classroom. We're talking about litle, itty, bitty kids victimizing each other by the 8th grade. The only thing that has changed is they are now super sized monsters.

So, I guess I won't be buying your story about the police making them criminals. These young men are taught to be predators before they're 10 years old. That was in the late 60's and early 70's. Do you actually think these little monsters are better than they were way back then? This type of thinking is why this country has seen it's better days come and go. We have too many stupid people with degrees that don't have a clue about human nature.
