While he was on Probation, Prosecutors refused to charge him with gun crime. Now he is charged with murder. He allegedly killed a 17-year-old girl at Mcdonald’s last week — a month after prosecutors refused to charge him with a felony gun crime. (And he’s on parole for shooting a gun.)
So they won't charge people for violating the gun laws already on the books, and yet the want more gun laws.
He allegedly killed a 17-year-old girl at Mcdonald’s last week — a month after prosecutors refused to charge him with a felony gun crime. (And he’s on parole for shooting a gun.)
The prosecutor, in addition to the charges specified, said that he had a pending case for "misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon" not involving a firearm.
But, as CWBChicago has learned, the prosecutor was wrong.
Chicago police arrested Heredia last month and tried to charge him with a felony for possessing a Glock handgun, but prosecutors at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office refused to approve the felony case.
Why didn't the Cook County State's Attorney charge him with a felony? Because keeping violent criminals in jail is unfair.
But prosecutors didn’t approve the felony. So, Heredia walked out of CPD’s 10th District station on his own recognizance and, according to Sunday’s allegations, he got another gun and killed a teenager at McDonald’s.
They keep releasing criminals, and their crimes keep escalating. I can't even pretend to be shocked.
Not that I want to justify this moron's actions (I would have him forcibly castrated if it were up to me), but the victim in this case sounds a bit out of kilter.
ReplyDelete"Tierra Franklin and her family went to the McDonald’s at 4334 West 26th Street to get some food... Some of the restaurant employees recognized Franklin as someone who was involved in a previous incident, and they asked her to leave."
What happened in this earlier incident?
"At some point, Franklin ran over to the drive-thru window and tossed a paper cup of water inside, splashing a restaurant worker."
Doesn't sound like something which warrants a death penalty, but it makes me more curious about that earlier incident.
"Betts said Heredia admitted that a McDonald’s employee summoned him to the restaurant because they were concerned about Franklin’s presence, based on the previous incident."
That really makes me curious. What was so distinctive about this earlier incident that make them call someone special to the restaurant after seeing her?
If I contemplated all the ways that the social norms were disintegrating in the cities I would lose my mind.
DeleteFrom my point of view, this guy should have been locked up, so that if there was some prior incident, he, at least would NOT have been around to get involved.
See the tag or category or whatever Blogger calls it for Breakdown of Civilization.
DeleteThat isn't even all the stories that I've seen. If you harp too much on the crumbling social norms in the cities, you can get banned from Twitter, labeled all kinds of things, and deal with a whole bunch of crap I would rather not deal with.
