everywhere you turn you can find insanity and here's another serving. those in charge aren't working for us;

In the Land of Lincoln, prison sentences are a lot like dog-years, only in reverse. A home invasion conviction in Chicago proves the point. Christopher Johnson, 16-time felon fresh out of prison on parole, found himself a weapon (go figure!) and committed an armed home invasion in 2019. He forced entry on an occupied apartment in a ritzy neighborhood a couple blocks from Lake Michigan.

Cops caught up with him after the (legally) armed resident shot the home invader in the butt, narrowly missing Mr. Johnson’s Johnson.

The criminal justice system in Cook County moves at approximately half the speed of smell. Almost three years later, Johnson has finally pleaded guilty to a single, reduced count and a judge sentenced him to…six years.

But wait! There’s more!

Mr. Johnson will get to claim all that time spent on affordable pre-trial release towards his 6-year sentence in the armed home invasion case. In real-world terms, he reported to prison, but after the accumulated credits, he will be released on May 6th.

He was sentenced to six years. He’ll serve about 16 weeks. See how that works? It’s dog-years in reverse. And Chicago wonders why it has a crime problem.......read more.........
