What Happens When There Are No Consequences for Bad Behavior?

You get more bad behavior. 16-time convicted felon charged with Old Town home invasion | CWB Chicago

The litany of crimes, from burglary to attempted murder (later downgraded to assault with a deadly weapon) is amazing. Now armed home invasion is added to the list.

[Assistant State’s Attorney Lorraine Scaduto] told Judge Navarro that Allen had been sentenced to prison sixteen times: ten times for burglaries, four times for theft-related cases, and one time for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

But the aggravated assault case was originally charged as attempted murder after Allen shot at police officers who tried to intervene as he and others fired guns at each other at a Cabrini-Green housing complex in 1989, she said.

For shooting at a police officer, he was sentenced to 1 year.

He is held without bail both for the armed home-invasion, and while Illinois decides about his parole violation.

If you make something cheaper, you will get more of it, and from the criminal's point of view in Chicago, there is little cost to committing crimes.
