You would be shocked about how little resistance it takes to stop some criminals who want to look tough with a gun but deep down don’t want to hurt/kill people.
> do they lock the doors. Why didn’t he run to the next car? The cops aren’t there yet, you’re just gonna wait for them
Yes. He should have attacked the man with the gun who has already overpowered him once to take the gun and try to run down a short hallway with no real exit.
That robber isn't really a tough guy, he's just a punk with a gun. Which was lucky for the marathon guy.

Was charged with a felony a year prior too. Not great at navigating all this legal stuff but I believe the code is this one…
> C) not less than 8 years and not more than 40 years with respect to 400 grams or more but less than 900 grams of any substance containing heroin;
I’m not sure about how many of the previous 4 assault/battery charges were felonies but will try to follow up.

Chicago actually makes finding criminal court records much more difficult than others (is anyone really surprised?)
At the end of it all, he is currently scheduled to spend <6 years in prison and was found guilty of armed robbery WITHOUT FIREARM, theft of >300 with prior intent (sentence discharged so this was a freebie), robbery (another freebie as this sentence was also discharged).
It’s shocking lightfoot even got 15% of the vote.
Correction: violent felonies.
I think in every state with bail reform, violent felonies you are always held in jail without bond
I’m not saying attack the guy but push him off of you and make a break for it. If you are gonna go to prison for years but the police aren’t there yet, you gotta run
I’m confused as to what you were trying to correct here.
He was released on bail/bond in under 2 days and was then free for ~18 months until his actual sentence began.
> I’m not saying attack the guy but push him off of you and make a break for it.
Push the guy… with the gun… oooookkkkkkkk
> If you are gonna go to prison for years but the police aren’t there yet, you gotta run
Run where? You think you’re just gonna go one car down the line and the angry mob you just attempted to rob isn’t going to follow?
> you are gonna go to prison for years
2 of his 3 guilty sentences were discharged so while it goes on his record he has no jail time to serve. The third charge was dropped down so the robbery would be charged as if he did NOT have a gun…. And all these breaks were made with 4 prior assault charges and what I think to be a heroin distribution charge within the previous 12 months. I’m sure he was shocked he got any time at all.
I was correcting myself. And my bad I didn’t click the link and look at the specific case, I thought your excerpt was from a previous one. You’re right he post bail 2 days later. The news report said he was held without bail. The judge must have reversed his decision or News just got it wrong.
Regardless it’s not bail reform because I’m sure he posted bond. Although that info doesn’t appear to be there
This link provides more information than I would expect actually. Anyways glad you sent it because look here at his number one thing on his record:
26 10-8-526: CTA - UNSAFE COND/CROSS BETWEEN CARS (98-126-1.6A)
This guy loves going between cars, they must not lock them.
I don’t see the distribution charge but maybe I didn’t comprehend the charge right. I just see a possession. Armed robbery with a gun on a train, I guess he isn’t the sharpest tool, but that is clearly a step above anything else he was caught for. And I only see two assaults.
He gave the gun to another guy at one point and told him to put on the safety
Yes run to another car. There was no angry mob. According to the witness in the report everyone was frozen until the one guy acted. And then keep going down cars until next stop and try to escape. I’m not saying you would have a great chance but you’d have a definite shot

And please no politics, I don’t want to hear about bail reform, this guy is charged with a felony he won’t qualify. I’m more so curious if there’s something logistical I’m missing or if anyone has more info. Do they lock the doors between cars in Chicago? That would make a little more sense if they were between stops and there was no where to go.
