If you're still on the fence about who to vote for on Tuesday, this story might push you off it and onto the right side.
"I stoned his ass!" Terry Strother told Chicago police as they handcuffed him after he allegedly struck a 77-year-old New Hampshire tourist in the head with a brick downtown last month. The 50-year-old repeat offender was on pretrial release in two cases at the time, just days after a judge refused prosecutors' request to revoke his release, court records show.
Strother "was arrested nine times in 2025 and eight times so far in 2026." So, what, we're just waiting for him to kill someone before we lock him up?
Any Democrat in or running for elected office supports this kind of justice system. The Democrat Party has long been all in on not arresting people for crimes and letting them loose even when it's clear they committed them.
And the criminals know law-abiding citizens have been disarmed by the same party system that lets them loose in our neighborhoods.
