“Chicago Judge Releases Venezuelan Immigrant Allegedly Armed with Gun and 43 Rounds of Ammo,” Breitbart reported Wednesday.
In a rare situation where it could claim partial credit, ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology factored into 21-year-old Venezuela native Jan Torres-Roman’s arrest, but in fairness, it took police seeing him running with a gun in hand to clinch their interest. But, with wokeness being what it is, Chi-Town Mayor Brandon Johnson has pledged to scrap the detectors over allegations of racial bias – right after the Democrat Convention.
“Despite being allegedly armed with a gun and apprehended at the scene of a shooting incident, Judge David Kelly released Torres-Roman from custody,” the report continues. “Torres-Roman already ignored a scheduled hearing on May 13.”
So turn loose a criminal alien with a predisposition for violating U.S. laws who has already proven Illinois’ FOID Card required of law-abiding citizens” is no impediment to his obtaining a firearm — and expect what to come of it?
Based on past practices, Democrat Kelly doesn’t much care.
He’s the same judge who last year, despite “compelling” DNA evidence, refused to deny bond to a man accused of raping a 14-year-old intellectually-disabled girl in a portable toilet.
He’s the same judge who last month “refuse[d] to detain man accused of carjacking [an] Uber driver at gunpoint.” Again, none of the hurdles you and I must go through to “legally” obtain a gun were cleared.
“I don’t know what’s going on in your life, but whatever it is, it’s got to change immediately,” Kelly told the suspect. Two “gunpoint” attempts in under 30 minutes and it’s a pretty safe bet to call Kelly a master of understatement.
It’s not just isolated judges; it’s wherever Democrats can impose their rule on everybody else (in Everytown). In this case, it’s the whole state.
“Illinois, the Land of Lincoln, has just passed a bill in both chambers of its legislature replacing the term ‘offenders’ with ‘justice-impacted individuals,’” PJ Media reports.
The Democrats behind it are also the same one who want you disarmed. They rely on violent crime so that they have blood to dance in, to whip up mob furor among constituents ignorant and stupid enough to vote for them.
“State Sen. Robert Peters, D-Chicago, urged members to not get hung up on the name change because the program oversight board could use more representation,” The Center Square reports, were we also learn he is the bill’s sponsor.
So, will anyone really be surprised to see headlines like “Peters on assault weapons ban: We cannot wait any longer,” and “Peters rallies for permanent funding for community violence intervention programs across the state”?
The plan is to disarm you and paint their criminal constituents as “victims of circumstance.”
It would be funny if the suffering made inevitable by Democrat policies wasn’t so real, and so intolerable to those of us who will not bend a knee.

releases an illegal Venezuelan immigrant? His ass should have been locked up, did time and then sent to his home country via plane and a parachute.
Sans parachute, but still released at altitude.
GUn sense university? More like how to have a corrupt democrat run state for over 120 years.
As much as politics disgusts me, were I a well off American, I would have to do what Youngkin has done; spend my money to go toe to toe with the pritzker’s of the world to literally beat their asses at this game. What a turd! The people of these states get what they vote for. Until bad shit happens to them, they could NOT care less!
nothing unusual about that. politicians are criminals so they are going to protect their own.
Criminals are not going to protect the politicians when the reaper comes (aka the enraged mob) to eliminate them.
Sorry, no one’s coming we’re all sitting on our hands waiting for the signal that never comes.
None of these facts matter. It’s the defeat of Roe vs Wade and Trump’s deportment that are their issues. Crime in the streets and double-standard justice are too divisive, as well as too complicated, for them to wrap their hands around,
The police in Democrat soft on crime cities, should simply go strike.. Better yet, pull their security details from the mayors, judges and other city officials who want personal protection from the chaos they’re causing with their pro-criminal and anti-American citizen actions.
One outrage after another. Is it bad enough, yet?
