When you have a blatant murder committed right outside a jail, you know the city is a disaster.

[DSYankeesFan]

Released on bond for violating his bond….. makes sense….

[michaeldorego]

Its officially safer being in jail in Chicago rather than being on the streets.

[Coronado-nzwu]

People in charge of Chicago should be ashamed of themselves.

[timpatz]

I'm pretty confident to say that the person who shot and killed him should not have been released from jail prior to this incident.

[tdo]

It’s a sad day when you have to PUSH to keep violent offenders in jail WTF

[Kyle_Lurz]

*”Electronic monitoring”*

That means nothing to criminals.

[juniorsantiago]

According to lightfoot there’s no spike in crime. That murder didn’t take place. It’s just people overreacting.

[Hobbies]

He was in arrested for VIOLATING HIS BOND, and the result of his hearing was TO BE BONDED OUT AGAIN, as if there were no reasonable expectation that he may FLEE AGAIN. Incredible.

Seems like someone really disagree on the judge's decision.

"A push to keep violent offenders in jail." When you need to "push" for something like common sense we're all in trouble.

A Chicago cop telling Americans how to police, IRONIC!

[JoeFootball]

Guess the ammo shortage is obviously over now.

[cynicalape]

Well, someone saved Chicago a lotta money and paper work!

[fostersbeer]

What a violent offender that the top cop says should never have been released was shot and killed outside of the jail. Hell, I think this is the first time catch and release saved the taxpayers a crap ton of money.

[riotfan]

Chicago is doing just fine everyone. Just ask mayor lightfoot.

[AC-roib]

I think whenever a judge decides to release a violent offender from custody, that offender should be required to live in the home of that judge for at least 6 months.

[RL]

You know Chicago's going to shit when the whole community starts pointing fingers at each other

[Frank-James]

I don’t understand why this is a story. Crime is under control in Chicago.

[AnonymousOneThree]

So you’re finally calling attention to these horribly reckless policies because a violent criminal got killed?
