This judge releases serious felony defendants nearly twice as often as other judges, granting detentions just 42% of the time in recent weeks. Most judges consider shooters and CTA violent crimes to be almost automatic detentions. Not “Let ‘em Go Tony.” cwbchicago.com/2026/05/cook-…

12 shootings. 4 injured. They terrorized Austin. Why aren’t police releasing their names?

The Mayor of Charlotte is demanding people stop posting this reminder of the lovely innocent Iryna Zarutska butchered by a savage on Charlotte public transit. He was on probation by a liberal activist judge.

A judge found a man not guilty by reason of insanity after prosecutors said he forced his way into a South Side home, held a woman at knifepoint, stabbed a Chicago police officer, and was then shot by that officer during a rescue attempt. cwbchicago.com/2026/05/man-w…

Remember this guy? He's in jail now. Prosecutors say a sheriff's police officer caught him sleeping on a Red Line train (with two hammers) He allegedly declared himself "King of the CTA" and threatened to knock the cop's brains out. STORY: cwbchicago.com/2026/05/king-…

Neither the Latino Caucus of the Chicago City Council or Springfield General Assembly has said a single damn word in support of this Latina victimized by a repeat violent offender out on the street thanks to the SAFE-T Act they so love. I wonder if any Dem Committeeman are going to bring it up Monday at the @cookcodems meeting.

"Lawmakers ought to consider prohibiting the use of electronic monitors for those charged with certain violent crimes... and forcing judges to decide between allowing defendants accused in those cases to remain truly free or be detained while they await trial..."
From the Editorial Board: Cook County criminal court judges are really on the hot seat now. chicagotribune.com/2026/05/0…

This road rage video is pure, gut-wrenching horror. A grown man mercilessly punching, knocking down, and head-stomping a frail elderly woman on the side of a Chicago highway—while she’s defenseless on the ground. The sheer brutality against someone so vulnerable is sickening. Even worse? Bystanders are filming instead of stepping in to stop it. This isn’t “rage”—it’s savagery. No civilized society lets this slide. Prayers for that poor lady, and may the coward face full justice. 😡

Two boys, ages 15 and 17, robbed a woman at gunpoint as she dropped her daughter off at daycare, CPD says. They also robbed two men on the South Side. The boys were arrested yesterday on the same block where the juvenile justice center is located. 🤔 cwbchicago.com/2026/04/boys-…

She is insane. We have mentioned the SAFE-T Act in exactly one story about the shooting of police officers by a man who escaped electronic monitoring. And it was in a report about the court hearing in which the judge who released the man *brought it up*

Now do soviet gulags, from which the Germans learned how do do the whole concentration camp thing. My Lithuanian grandmother spent 7 years in one after russians occupied our country and stole everything from us. I heard so many horror stories from her. Will you post about them?

This should alarm every homeowner and business in Illinois: lawmakers just admitted that the Bears/Megaproject bill gives local governments the power to shift massive property tax burdens onto you. This exchange shows why the Bears/Megaproject bill is the most dangerous property tax swap legislation in Illinois history. Rep. @BlaineWilhour: "Is this up to the local governments to determine how to value the non-taxed fully developed properties?" Rep. @kambucknerchi (HB 910 Sponsor): "That's correct, Representative. Local control."

When this judge put suspected cop killer Alphonso Tally on an ankle monitor in December, he said he thought Talley’s previous violent crimes were the result of an underdeveloped brain… even though some of those crimes were only 8 months old. cwbchicago.com/2026/04/judge…

Judge John Lyke put suspected cop killer Alphonso Tally on an ankle monitor “over the state’s rigorous objection.” He pointed to the SAFE-T Act. “It appears his mind is finally developing," Lyke said. "He may be on the path to making better decisions." cwbchicago.com/2026/04/judge…

I deleted a previous tweet because I want to wait to read the transcript for myself to see how Judge Lyke described his decision to put the guy on EM. @CWBChicago has an early look...
