  1. We airlifted this piece of s***? Should have used a rickshaw, and taken him to to what’s Left of the former kmh hospital. That still would have been more than he deserved.

    1. First of all, if you try English it’ll be easier for us all to understand.
      Second, your jealousy is getting in the way of you becoming a functional person.

      #2. Who is lying? This is exactly how it played out yesterday, and he put numerous lives in danger.
      #3. It sounds like you must be friends with the criminal.

      1. It is a perplexing problem. We know that around 5% of the population commits almost all of the crimes, yet the court system seems determined to make sure that 5% can spend as much time as possible out of jail. In the state that doesn’t have capital punishment, all we have to protect ourselves with is jails.

        1. This scourge is of our own doing.

          We as a community and county fail to do our civic duty and show up at the polls to elect better stewards of our laws, decisions and money !

          Every elected official is just that, elected !
          By us ! We are the problem !
          Low or no bail. We voted for that. Or should I say, we didn’t vote for the people that would stop that !
          Your vote works both ways. You are either “For” something or you are “Against” something. Either way, only the voters get to decide.

          Societies problems start with each of us not involving ourselves in the process of elections. Look in the mirror. Do you vote in every election ?
          Even the historically low turnout spring elections ?
          We ourselves are to blame

    1. It is strange that we actually pay most of the people you described to live here. I guess it’s a valuable commodity that we were missing. I had to pay for my own rent, food, transportation, and medical expenses on my own.

    2. I’m really grateful we moved. I know people like to say these issues exist everywhere, but our experience has been so different. My kids are in safe schools, and I feel a sense of security just doing everyday things like driving down the road.

    3. Most are originally from Illinois. Welfare is higher here, Cost of living is lower here and they are fleeing the law in Illinois. Also the judges in Kenosha let them off the hook

  3. Has the signature bond been pre filled out? How much probation can he actually receive for this?

  4. Yesterday a car with loud music was going by. Immediately I started my hearing impaired grumbling about the noise. Then I remembered blasting Kiss in my 68 Chevelle through a Pioneer Super Tuner with 8 trak. Got arrested in “Pets” at senior prom for a watermelon soaked in vodka and LOUD noise.

  5. I think it is time for vigilante justice. I am sick of having our money stolen from us to fund these miscreants: their time in prison, their room and board, their food, and their medical care. It is all such bullshit
