If you’re a decent driver in Chicago, not only do you have to negotiate Olympic-level potholes and endless construction, but thanks to No Cash Bail, you have to deal with road-raging drivers who shoot at the objects of their ire. Take the two fine gents pictured above, Maurice Jones, left, and Kevin Reynoso. Photos courtesy Chicago Police Department.
Why do decent drivers have to deal with deadly drama? Because under No Cash Bail, judges feel like they have to release these perps.
Does it matter that these violent thugs with guns aren’t legally able to pack pistols? Of course not. In bad guy minds everyone carries in Chicago.
From CWB Chicago:
CHICAGO — Twice in recent weeks, prosecutors have asked judges to detain drivers accused of firing guns during traffic altercations in Chicago. Both times, the judges rejected the requests and sent the accused drivers home on ankle monitors.
In one case, police responded to calls of shots fired and met with a 36-year-old man who said another driver opened fire on his car in the 9400 block of South Ashland.
