the judicial thinking of: he had a bad childhood carries no water. how many of these before we get rid of those enabling this crap; 

A doctor from Chicago was brutally beaten by a man who has been arrested over a dozen times this year alone.

According to court filings, the 42-year-old  cardiologist entered an elevator at Northwestern,  where he was allegedly followed by Sean Popps. Popps then is alleged to have repeatedly punched the victim in the head until she stumbled backward, covering her face with her hands.

Chicago police note that Popps has been arrested a dozen times this year in the area of the campus. He was arrested seven times in 2024 and six additional times between 2020 and 2023.

CWC Chicago reports:

A Chicago police report added that the woman sustained multiple bruises, abrasions, and hematomas to her face, head, arm, and hand. She had no prior contact with Popps, officials said, and the attack was entirely unprovoked.

A Northwestern security officer instantly recognized Popps from surveillance video, citing “approximately 30 plus prior incidents at the hospital where [Popps] had to be removed,” a detention petition stated. Another Northwestern officer reported having “incidents with [Popps] approximately two times a day over the last 19 months.”...........more..........
