She’s a freaking healthcare professional! An LPN who works with the elderly. Oh man, she needs help. Or at the minimum, she needs to be stopped. >

She wipes the area she stabs you with an alcohol wipe first >

That's good! >

But the knife is dipped in potassium benzoate >

That’s bad. >

She gives you a lollipop after though. >

That's good! >

But the lollipop is also laced with potassium benzoate. >

The lollipop is provided free of charge >

She refused to grant prosecutors’ requests to have several defendants held without bail, including one charged with attempted murder for allegedly beating, stomping, and choking his pregnant girlfriend for 20 minutes. And she even took the unprecedented step of ordering a robbery victim to show up in court to be served with an order to protect the man who allegedly robbed her at gunpoint.

JFC!!!!! >

Our judges and state's attorney in cook County are generally awful. The state's attorney also dropped her charges against R Kelly because she thought enough justice had already been done. >

Not sure if you followed that case, but she was communicating directly with the family. That is about the least offensive thing she did, but if that is what turns people against her I couldn't care less. She needs to go, same with Evans. >

Her announcement today noted that they had victims in this specific case who wanted their day in court.
She made the original announcement to get good publicity, she gets to suffer the shitty publicity from dragging a victim through tens of hours of legal process to do nothing with it. >

She really is absolutely awful >

Stabatha no! >

Stabatha stabstabby stabbersomepeeps Has added you as a friend....... >

No longer friends with shooter McShooty shoot. >

I'm no genius, but I'm sensing a pattern here. >

Here is the pattern

Judge Kelly McCarthy, the same judge who set bail for Williams last year, ordered her to pay $20,000 to get out of jail this time. Williams must go on electronic monitoring if she goes home, McCarthy said. >


Judge Kelly McCarthy, the same judge who set bail for Williams last year, ordered her to pay $20,000 to get out of jail this time. Williams must go on electronic monitoring if she goes home, McCarthy said.
McCarthy also held Williams without bail until the judge overseeing last year’s case reviews the new allegations.

The final paragraph makes me feel better. I'm all for bail reform and ending cash bail. That said, Williams is an obvious danger to her community and should be held without bail until the end of her trial IMO. >

The problem with cash bail is that if someone is legitimately a risk then they shouldn't get to pay their way out of jail and if they're not a risk then they shouldn't be incarcerated before their trial
Just do the precautions the first time >

AFAIK the point of bail is for people who are potential flight risks that need motivation to show up for their court date, not people who are potential murder risks that might go about randomly stabbing people. >

If they're potential flight risks then they can wear ankle monitors. If they're not then they don't need to pay cash bail. >

It's sometimes difficult for good, honest, law-abiding folk to imagine what it's like being a violent offender.
An ankle monitor is zero incentive to go back to court. You might think it is, because you're thinking with an innocent mindset, but the reality is it's getting ditched the moment the moment they decide they're not going back. 
Being on the hook for twenty grand, however... Money has universal weight. We all need it. We cannot function without it. Absconding will make your life much more difficult, because it'll drain your bank account and if that isn't enough, it will ruin your credit. >

If you're a violent offender... you're clearly a risk to the community and would be held without bail under this system
The whole point is to force judges and prosecutors to actually do their jobs and prove that you need to be held until trial (because you're dangerous or a flight risk) instead of just throwing up a bail amount and calling it a day.

Being on the hook for twenty grand, however

Doesn't mean jack shit to someone with millions of dollars to their name. >

That's why bail is set based on both flight risk and income. If you have millions liquid, then you should have a higher bond. 
Also, someone being held as a violent offender is not necessarily a violent criminal. You may hear stories about someone who is wrongfully accused being held for weeks and losing possessions, jobs, etc. This system isn't perfect, but avoids this situation somewhat. >


You may hear stories about someone who is wrongfully accused being held for weeks and losing possessions, jobs, etc.

Which happens right now with cash bail and defendants that cannot afford it. >

Some people just belong forcibly restricted from interacting with the rest of society. >

We let 3 facilities of them out in Oregon!  People are getting bashed in the head with softball sized rocks. >

Maybe cases like this shouldn’t get bail? >

Cash bail shouldn't exist in the first place. Just make the decision to let someone out or not, don't have it be a societal gamble on whether they can borrow a bunch of cash from someone.
Edit: "Cash bail", not just "bail". >

This. Violent crimes shouldn't be eligible for bail, and non violent crimes shouldn't have a bond unless the person is a demonstrated flight risk (in which case probably see a instead) >

I was accused of aggravated robbery with a firearm by a heroin addict who wanted to welch on a $370 check he wrote me for services I provided to him and his hemp company.
I did not do what was claimed. There was no evidence against me. I have no priors. I have a CHL, and was not a flight risk. Despite all this, I was given a $50,000 bail and a gps ankle monitor which costed $10/day for the privilege of having it. Dude wanted to ruin my life so he wouldn’t have to pay for services rendered.
The dude died of a fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine overdose a few months after I was arrested and bailed out. Gps proved I was nowhere near him when this happened. Charges dropped and case sealed. And they gave me my gun back, too.
I respectfully disagree with your take. >

Yeah that's not a problem with a bail system that excludes violent crimes, that's a problem with the policing and arraignment systems that allow accusations with no evidence to ruin people's lives. Associate the right things. Don't just get irrationally mad. Grand Juries need serious reform, that's a different problem all together. >

I’m not irrationally mad, just pointing out that my life would have been ruined if I had been swept up in your net that denies bail to everyone who’s been accused of violent crimes. 
If you claim I wouldn’t have been swept up in your net, I’m unsure why you think I should be excluded if your basis for denying bail is “accused of violent crime.”
I guess what I’m asking is: In our current system, how do you differentiate between someone wrongfully accused of a violent crime and someone rightfully accused of violent crime when determining who gets bail and who doesn’t? >

Releasing violent offenders on bail is insanity. >

It happens around the world.
Judiciary remains a joke, no matter where. >

Oh boy, here I go stabbing again. >

Roberto: Stand back, I gotta practice my stabbin! >

I immediately thought of Roberto, too. Read that original comment in his voice and it took a bit of research to convince me he never said it >

It's the here I go kill'n again quote from Rick and Morty. But with the much classier art of stabb'n. >

I hope we learned a lesson here. >

$20k to have another go? >

I think she has proven that she has a proclivity to stab people. >

Don’t worry everyone, she’ll be back out on bail soon.  What are the odds she’d do it a third time right?  Right? >

Uninformed voters. She was elected with ~30% of the vote as quoted in one of these articles. Chicago gets the governance it deserves, let's hope the rest of then country pays attention >

I'm sorry, this shouldn't have gone to voters.  She is repeatedly, knowingly, and overtly breaking laws if this article is correct.  That is ignoring this gem

And she even took the unprecedented step of ordering a robbery victim to show up in court to be served with an order to protect the man who allegedly robbed her at gunpoint.

Even if you believe uninformed voters deserve the consequences of who they vote for, whatabout every other person who suffers the consequences of this woman's actions?  This isn't voting in an official with bad policy.  This woman should be barred from any position of power over the public and imprisoned. >

I agree on all points, and voting for judges is stupid. I'm from Sweden and we don't do that shit there (tho Sweden also gets activist judges from time to time, but nothing this extreme, that I can recall). >

Anybody know if the victims are ok? >

According to the article, two victims needed stitches. Two others were stabbed in the back and another in the head. It is unclear from the article what their statuses are. >

Hopefully they’re alright long term. >

Why would someone guilty of a RANDOM stabbing even be eligible for bail?...
If there was ever someone who shouldn’t be released until their trial is held, it’s the person making a sport out of stabbing random citizens during their day to day activities... >

It’s Chicago. It has been transformed into a lawless sh*thole in recent years. >

I don't mean to be judgemental, but she really shouldn't be doing that. >

Take it easy there fascist >

Holy fuck, the title completely hides the most not-oniony part. Having being detained for the second set of stabbings the same judge simply sets another value for a cash bail.
She could go do it all again 🙄
That judge is definitely the sort of person who would go to the doctors complaining it hurts every time when they poke themselves in the eye. >

Surely she learned her lesson. Better let her out into the streets again! >

The lesson was "Stabbing for Dummies"
