Oh, Poor Baby

You might think that after the first three or four trips to prison, someone might have learned something, but we guess not:
  • Tina Hunt had gone to the Cook County criminal courthouse at 26th Street and California Avenue to attend her son's court appearance in November 2013 when she found herself in a dispute with sheriff's deputies.

    After she was taken into custody, a sheriff's deputy charged that she kicked him in the shin during a struggle in a lockup at the Leighton Criminal Court Building.

    On Wednesday, the 49-year-old grandmother is scheduled to return to the same courthouse to be sentenced for her felony conviction for aggravated battery of a peace officer.

    With convictions for two violent crimes decades ago, Hunt faces a mandatory minimum of six years in prison, even though the deputy testified at trial that the kick didn't hurt and left no marks on his shin. The harsh penalty is the result of Illinois' version of the "three-strikes" law.

    "It hurts bad," Hunt told a Tribune reporter at her home on Chicago's West Side as tears streamed down her face. "If I go to the penitentiary for six years, I'm going to lose everything I have, my Section 8 (housing), my (government disability) check, my freedom."
You mean you lose everything the taxpayers have been giving you for years without you taking a single step to better yourself, your situation, your life. It was never really "yours." A pretty poor rate-of-return we imagine. Prison might not be any cheaper, but it will be more satisfying to the taxpayers who might finally see something for their money - like a tiny statistical drop in crime.

Nice to see that her handouts mean more to her than her freedom.

the tribune is such a desperate rag these days. Two family members were reporters for that paper.. One is still there looking to retire soon, and the other moved on to greener pastures because of all the third class "reporters" that work there now. Mostly just a bunch of young, college educated know nothing reporters who have no clue about the actual city of chicago.. Pretty much they are just regurgitating the stories the TV news puts out. Its funny the stories they tell about the "reporters" these days and how they really think they are changing the world and on the cutting edge of reporting. The old reporters got down and dirty, knew how to get good info for good stories and would hang and drink alot with each other at real bars with real people and talk about real things. Now, they all wear skinny jeans and are hipsters who are transplanted from out of state and think that lincoln park/wicker park and Wrigleyville are the only parts of the city because they moved here from nowhere places in the world.. and now they "made it" in the big city and are gonna really get some hard hitting change the world type of stories. Its laughable hearing how the old reporters treated people and did they job compared to the over educated, self important "kids" do it these days.

That's it right there. That's the mentality. Not only do I have to work to support my family, my taxes go to support hers too. So she's a piece of shit criminal, her spawn is a piece of shit criminal and they can party 24/7 because the infrastructure of her life is provided to her by someone else.

I agree with a limit on how many years you can be on the dole. It's supposed to be a hand up, not a lifestyle. And used properly, it could really help someone who was dealt a raw deal. Me for example....

Over 20 years ago, I got divorced. Even though I was a married housewife for 12 years, I got nothing more than a couple thousand dollars that paid for my attorney, and not much more.

Anyway, since I had been a housewife for most of my marriage, I had little to no marketable job skills. I barely made it by renting a room from a friend's mother, working part time while trying to salvage the rest of the semester of school I was in during the time of my divorce. At times I had to choose between putting gas in my car or buying food. I think that first year I made a whopping $6000 dollars.

Even though I got straight A's in school, I was ineligible for a Pell grant because "I made too much money." So after I finished that semester, I was done with college for several years until I was able to return.

Before I rented the room at my friend's mom's house, I was in dire straights and went to a social service agency to see if I qualified for any benefits. All I got was a one-time check for about $40 bucks worth of food stamps. That was it.

I suspect I was the wrong color to receive any additional benefits or the Pell grant which would have really made a difference in my life and future career.

So fast forward 20+ years. I finally did finish college, but it took me YEARS of working full time and going to school at night. It was miserable and a ton of work. If only I could have finished school when I was younger, I know my career would be further along that it is today. But there was no assistance for a white girl with no dependents.

It infuriates me to hear all about these people who spend generations on the dole, popping out 5, 8, 15 kids....none of them work or take advantage of the free schooling available to them.

I believe in helping those who are down on their luck.....but come on!!

No, I am NOT a Liberal. Just the opposite.

I think we need to "break the cycle" of generational dependence on welfare without any "gratitude", let alone, work effort, by the recipients.

Put her into some "Work Program". Real work that someone with minimal skills can do. Clean up the parks, Clean up the streets, Clean up the Expressways. Work a REAL 40-hour job. Sweat a little.

Make her WORK for those benefits. Let her know "what they cost" by having her put forth some effort to earn them. Won't work? EVERYTHING STOPS. No freebies.

Jail time does NOT educate these people or rehabilitate them. It perpetuates that "Everything is free" mindset.

Put her to work. Dart should have several chain gangs going. Not only is it "good" for the people on them, they are a nice, visual deterrent for those thinking they want to commit some crime.

Too racist? Hey, it's racist stealing MY hard-earned money to support people who don't grasp the concept of "work".

Look at it as just a transfer of responsibility. The Section 8 and food stamps are moved from various agencies, and moved to the DOC. They will negate the need for Section 8 by providing housing absolutely free, and all meals are prepared and served to you, no need to apply for food stamps at your new gub'ment provided home.

NOTE: No responsibility will be transferred to the new inmate, that would be such a shock to Granny.

Thank you. However, I'm pleased to say that I am doing fine now. I have an excellent job, and am on my 3rd home (as a single woman). I'm not rich, but I am comfortable. It can be done, and I'm living proof of it.

I guess my point is that it really sucks that there was no "hand up" for someone like me (a single white woman with no kids) who could have used a little help and would have taken full advantage of it back then.

Kind of like the old saying, "Give a man a fish, he eats for one day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." That is always how I saw myself 20 years ago, when I was struggling. I knew that given the chance - and maybe a hand up in the form of a college grant - I would be successful. Well, I never got more than that one-time $40 bucks in emergency food stamps, yet I consider myself successful. It was a lot of hard work & sacrifice, but I made it. I really had no other choice BUT to make it.

Instead, we have generations on the dole who REFUSE to learn how to fish...who just keep taking and taking and creating more and more dependent children who don't - or won't "learn how to fish."

Some times I think, well, you can't blame the kids....they aren't taught anything different, so what do you expect? More of the same....generations of people who can't/won't/refuse work & support themselves, and expect to be taken care of for life. Disgusting.

I've seen a poor elderly person in a one-room apartment get maybe $28.00/year as a one-time LIHEAP payment, and have seen others get nothing. It ain't a treasure chest, that's for sure. Another urban myth like that tiny, limited $5.00 Obamaphone you can hardly hear, 250 minutes per month just so as to have something for an emergency.

As someone else here says, "I suspect I was the wrong color to receive any additional benefits...there was no assistance for a white girl with no dependents."

2/10/2016 11:00:00 AM

As others who have dealt with "the system" have discovered, help does indeed often seem to be dispensed on a "For Us, By Us" basis. The city employee answering 311 about a no-heat landlord complaint on a night like this has no business making their first question, "How many chiluns you got?" The only written law operating is date, time, and temperature -- but there is an additional agenda as well.

White people are also often unwilling to perceive other white people as being needy. It scares them. I was once charged $10.00 for something at a yard sale -- and the seller actually tried to make me feel guilty, indicating a whole custom van of illegals that had just pulled up and was exiting by all available openings.

"Well, I was just going to give this item to them. They don't have anything."

I was alone and on foot.

This kind of thing will destroy a single person, who will lose everything they own -- food, furniture, clothes, bedding, household goods, critical personal papers -- but a "49-year-old grandmother" ALWAYS has plenty of immediate and extended family around to take up the slack, and she will hardly notice.

It's done by strength of sheer numbers.

Bernie Sanders said his goal is to release prisoners in this country. He went on to say that our country has the highest amount of people incarcerated and that's not acceptable. He went on to say that we have more prisoners than they do in China. That is his reason for wanting to release prisoners. Not sure how he is a head in the race but this is a very dangerous person to have running our country if this is how he feels.

It's about time people stop and realize why we have the most criminals in the world.

The broken family unit

No stigma attached to going to jail. (Worked with a nice black girl once that said it was impossible to find a decent black guy to date that hadn't been in jail or had multiple kids).
Kids in China want to please their parents. They have respect for their parents and other people. They would be embarrassed to commit a crime.
Going to prison in our country still provides you with all of your Basic needs and you can sue if you feel you are not comfortable enough in prison! I'm not thinking the prisons in China care about their prisoners needs or wants or even care. Pretty sure if you ever spend time in a Chineese prison you make damn sure you never go back.

Government handouts that continue to be given even if you are not an upstanding citizen.

Government officials that can run for office even if they have been convicted of committing s crime in the past.
Government officials that are allowed to get their pentions even after the go to jail for crimes that they have committed. Really how can we give it to rich politians and not give it to a poor grandma that knows no other way to get by?

Not sure what Bernie thinks all of these people are in prison for but this ain't Mayberry anymore!

All of these facts also explain why our state is broke.
