Hey all.
Chicago released another 1300 inmates due to covid cases in the jail. Chicago is one of the most crime ridden lefty run hell holes on earth and they're turning a lot of their finest residents free , many of them are likely infected and will be roaming free looking for targets of opportunity. Lock up and stay strapped fellow Illinois residents.

Makes perfect sense to someone in City Hall or on the County Commission, they poor criminals might get infected in jail, course they are in jail for no real reason to begin with. Geez, more evidence the animals are in charge of the zoo.

I can't speak for Chicago, but in my county the jail is releasing people charged but not yet convicted of non-violent crimes. Basically, those who couldn't make bail on their own due to lack of funds.

I'm not thrilled about it. But they're innocent until proven guilty, and it doesn't seem right to expose an "innocent" person to a potentially deadly disease.

Harris County TX is working a similar release program, and it was reported ON DAY 1 a guy who had a lengthy rap sheet was let out and committed murder. Condition orange, y’all.

I think it's the same here, charged but not convicted. The concern here is that as far as I know, minor crimes and theft under $1000 don't even get a police response. So to me it sounds like they're opening the doors for a folks to do what they want. If the police do get dispatched they won't be hauling anyone in to keep the jails less populated. Chicago is already bad, a lot of areas are impossible to get under control under normal circumstances . they had to put a curfew in liqour sales because the people were hanging out in large groups in front of liquor stores drinking because the bars are closed. The grotesque Naylor -lori lightfoot, who looks like something out of Lord of the rings has been driving around yelling at people to go home. If you're right out of jail, you may not have a home. So some of those guys go to the shelter where they're just as likely to get covid or likely to spread what they picked up in jail. I just have to disagree , keep them locked in their cells until this stuff blows over, release isn't the answer.

Seems to me that the obvious answer is to make those that order or release a criminal are made responsible for the actions of the released criminal, after their release.

As I said, I can't speak for Chicago. I've never been there. But I can imagine the crime problem is very different from where I live. And that would likely change my opinion drastically. Especially given how you say the police are handling "lesser" crimes.
