Cook County’s Top Judge: Not a Mistake to Release Maniac Who Then Killed Cop

Posted on by

Do the liberal judges who unleash maniacs at the public’s throat at least feel some remorse for the senseless bloodshed they cause? For an answer, we look to Chicago, where career criminal Alphonso Talley was released by moonbat judge John Lyke with an ankle monitor and then murdered police officer John Bartholomew.

Via CWBChicago:

The decision to release a five-time felon with four pending felony cases, including two violent robberies, on electronic monitoring was not a mistake, Cook County’s chief judge says, even though that man is now accused of going on to murder a Chicago police officer and gravely wounding the fallen officer’s partner.

“I wouldn’t call it a mistake,” Judge Charles Beach told WGN’s Ben Bradley in an interview on Wednesday. “The judge made the best decision with what was in front of them at the time, right? Unfortunately, you know, we’ll go back to that concept: How do you predict what another human being is going to do?”

Retired Riverside, Illinois Police Chief Tom Weitzel provides the answer:

“Start with the obvious—his criminal history.”

Talley is far from the only violent criminal released with an ankle monitor in Cook County.

CWB Chicago was the first to report on Tuesday that Beach’s office had revealed 8% of the people on its ankle monitoring program — about 244 people, most likely with pending felony charges — have gone AWOL, with nobody knowing where they are. …

As of April 3, the court’s electronic monitoring program included 21 people with pending murder cases, 13 facing attempted murder charges, 103 charged with criminal sexual assault, 78 charged with robbery, and 16 with pending carjacking cases. How many of those, if any, were missing is unknown, and Beach’s office has not responded to multiple requests for that information.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson informs us that “we cannot incarcerate our way out of violence” because “it is racist.” Plenty on the bench are eager to implement his ideology.

VA AG Jay Jones Sends Appeal to Wrong Court

Posted on by

The incompetence characterizing the office of Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones goes beyond not being able to spell “Virginia.” Via Breitbart:

After misspelling “Virginia” and “Senator” on a recent appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, Jones’ office fired off an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States that’s addressed to — lol — the Supreme Court of Virginia.

It is the Supreme Court of Virginia that he wants overruled so as to ram through an illegal gerrymandering scheme. Democrats have even called for wiping out the court by changing the retirement age to 54, so that all the justices can be replaced with Ketanji Brown Jackson types who will rubber-stamp the gerrymandering.

Before his election, the scofflaw Jay Jones was best known for being a sociopath who wished death on Republicans and their children. Lately this has been overshadowed by his staggering incompetence.

Following Light Sentence for Firing on Police, Maniac Goes on Shooting Spree

Posted on by

If you heard about Tyler Brown, the maniac who went on a shooting spree in Cambridge, MA on Monday, you won’t be surprised to learn about his background.

Via Daily Wire:

A man accused of randomly shooting at cars in Massachusetts has been identified as a career criminal with a previous conviction for attempting to murder a Boston police officer. The suspect was out on the streets thanks to a soft sentence back in 2021.

Two people were seriously injured, for which we can thank the moonbats running the justice system, who have plenty of compassion for career criminals of color like Brown but none for their many victims.

Back in 2021, a judge gave Brown a much lighter sentence than requested by prosecutors after he was convicted of armed assault with intent to murder and attempted assault and battery by means of discharging a firearm after he opened fire on several Boston police officers back in 2020.

Brown fired 13 shots at the police. Yet just a few years later he was running around loose, predictably shooting at people again.

Suffolk Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders sentenced Brown to just five to six years in prison, about half the 10-12 years requested by prosecutors.

As with most violent crime, Brown is repeat offender. He had previous convictions for assault and battery with a knife and witness intimidation.

Democrats will be delighted to note that a gun was used in his most recent crimes, providing them with further evidence that law-abiding citizens must be disarmed. However, an armed citizen helped stop him.

Democrat Response to Failed Virginia Gerrymander Raises Red Flag

Posted on by

Abigail Spanberger’s unlawful gerrymandering scheme was blocked by the Virginia Supreme Court. The Downballot presents an alarming strategy to render the court’s ruling moot:

Article VI, Section 9, of the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature unlimited authority to set the retirement age for judges.

The current retirement age is 73.

Make it 54 for Supreme Court justices—the age of the youngest justice, Stephen McCullough, who joined the majority opinion—and make it take effect immediately.

Then they can staff a new Supreme Court with Ketanji Brown Jackson types who will rubber-stamp whatever Democrats want.

The gloves are off — and not only in Virginia. As noted at the New York Post,

Nationwide, even moderate Dems are now talking about seizing their next available chance to pack the US Supreme Court, grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico simply to gain them four safe Senate seats and abolish the Senate filibuster — and so lock in progressive power forever.

There will be a silver lining to leftist Democrats having seized control of Virginia if it alerts the rest of the country regarding the urgency of not allowing this to happen at the national level.

Massachusetts Bill Would Treat 18–20-Year-Old Criminals as Juveniles

Posted on by

It is not true that the Democratic Party stands for nothing except unhinged hatred of Donald Trump. One of the main things it stands for is crime, which it promotes aggressively. This is especially evident where Democrats have established single-party rule — as in Massachusetts.

Mass Daily News reports on a bill that would redefine adult criminals aged 18–20 years as juveniles so as to spare them from punishment:

A bill quietly moving through the Massachusetts Senate — and one Gov. Maura Healey signature away from law if it clears the House — would mean a 20-year-old who deals fentanyl, sticks up a convenience store at gunpoint, or sexually assaults a child gets juvenile court. Sealed record. Out by his 21st birthday.

Anyone doubt the rabid moonbat Maura Healey would sign it?

The bill is S.1061, “An Act to promote public safety and better outcomes for youths,” filed by Sen. Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) with co-sponsors Cynthia Stone Creem (D-Newton), Liz Miranda (D-Boston), and Joanne Comerford (D-Northampton). The Senate Judiciary Committee voted it favorably out of committee on October 9, 2025. It now sits with Senate Ways and Means, the committee that recently advanced the PROTECT Act — passed Thursday on a 37-3 Senate floor vote — that would let illegal immigrants sue ICE agents.

Illegal immigration serving to obliterate the USA with a torrent of moochers from the Third World is something else the Democratic Party stands for.

Profiles in Moonbattery: Judge Zia Faruqui

Posted on by

The progressive approach to imposing Marxist rule pioneered by communists like Antonio Gramsci calls for infiltrating and subverting institutions. One key institution is the courts. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui demonstrates what leftists have been placing on the bench.

Faruqui infamously apologized to Cole Allen for his alleged oppression while incarcerated. Via Fox News:

The magistrate judge who apologized to suspected would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen for his treatment inside a Washington, D.C., jail during a Monday emergency motion hearing has been criticized for his standoffishness with the Trump administration over the city’s crime crackdown, and praised for his career-long commitment to DEI.

“To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history,” Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, who devoted much of his career to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, said during the hearing, adding that Allen is presumed innocent.

Sure Allen is presumed innocent. But we all saw him on video.

Faruqui went on to grouse that January 6 defendants did not have to wear five-point restraints.

Barks the moonbat:

“At a minimum, I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to.”

Faruqui is unsurprisingly hostile to ICE for enforcing federal immigration law.

Frontpage has more:

Faruqui is a Pakistani Muslim magistrate judge appointed by Judge Beryl Howell, a notorious leftist, under Barack Obama. While the Muslim magistrate judge, a member of the Muslim Bar Association of New York, had mostly flown under the radar until now, his political tantrums from the bench had begun last year as he fought to protect criminals.

He agreed to dismiss a federal case against Edward Alexander Dana, who allegedly threatened to kill Trump while in police custody. Just the guy to put in charge of the Cole Allen case.

If wacky activist judges are not purged from the bench, they will continue to eat away like termites at the judiciary until it collapses into farce.

Biden Judge Releases Illegal Alien Wanted for Murder

Posted on by

Bryan Rafael Gomez is wanted internationally for murder. So he escaped to the USA, where he enjoys protection by Democrats.

He turned up in Massachusetts. From the Department of Homeland Security:

On April 4, 2026, the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, for assault and battery. The detainer was honored, and after he was released on $500 bail, ICE arrested Gomez.

However, having seeded the judiciary with activist judges, Biden’s handlers are able to continue their war against the American population even now:

On April 28, 2026, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose–who was appointed in the final days of the Biden administration–ordered Gomez’s release.

This is not the first time Gomez was caught and let go:

Gomez entered the U.S. illegally in 2022 and was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol near Lukeville, Arizona. He was then released by the Biden administration.

In defense of DuBose, she is a person of great historicness, being reportedly “the first Black and openly LGBTQ federal judge in Rhode Island.”

Repeat Felon With Multiple Pending Felony Charges Released to Kill Cop in Chicago

Posted on by

Justice, public safety, and basic sanity have been sacrificed to the DEI/CRT/BLM mentality in Chicago. Via CWBChicago:

The Cook County judge who released a repeat violent felon with four pending felony cases on electronic monitoring last December, the same felon prosecutors now say escaped that monitoring and shot two Chicago police officers, killing one over the weekend, acknowledged during the hearing that the defendant likely would have faced “a minimum $1 million bail” under the state’s old cash bail system.

The avoidably murdered officer is John Bartholomew. The judge is John Lyke.

[A]fter explaining that he believed Alphonso Talley’s life of armed robberies and carjackings might have been the result of an underdeveloped brain that had since matured — even though Talley had allegedly committed an armed carjacking and an armed robbery with the same brain just eight months earlier — Lyke decided to let him go home on an ankle monitor.

Consequently, John Bartholomew is dead. Lyke will not be charged in the murder, despite his culpability.

Talley had already run up quite a tally of crimes:

His five prior convictions include four aggravated robberies and a conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

On top of that,

Talley’s four pending cases were accrued one atop the other, starting with the stolen car and aggravated fleeing case, followed by battering a Cook County jail officer. And then, while on electronic monitoring for those, allegedly carjacking a woman and robbing a man at gunpoint.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says, “We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence” because, “It is racist.” So why not let Talley go?

Lyke weighed it all — Talley’s five felony convictions, his four pending cases, and the ankle monitor he was wearing when he allegedly committed two of those pending cases while armed with a gun — and decided that he could not keep Talley in jail under the SAFE-T Act.

As noted earlier, the SAFE-T Act…

…is also known as the Purge Law, in reference to the movies/TV series about crime being made legal for 12 hours once a year to keep the population down. In Illinois, the Purge will take place all year around, until the population disappears completely. This is the fate of every state that succumbs to the Democrat Death Spiral, whereby Democrats drive out sane people, resulting in ever more radical Democrats getting elected.

Speaking of ankle monitors, Lawrence Reed, who had 71 prior arrests, was wearing one when he set Bethany MaGee on fire on a Chicago train in a case that recalled the killing of Iryna Zarutska. Reed was set loose by race-oriented Judge Theresa Molina-Gonzalez.

What liberals have done to Chicago, they are doing to Illinois. What they are doing to Illinois, they plan to do to the whole country. They call it “social justice.”
