A 76-year-old man convicted of killing a teenager in a Northwest Side forest preserve in 1972 has been paroled.
Ray Larsen is the latest inmate serving an indefinite prison term — a so-called “C-number” inmate — the Illinois Prisoner Review Board has ordered released, a list that also includes a double ax-murderer.
Larsen had been serving a sentence of 100 to 300 years in prison after confessing he killed 16-year-old Frank Casolari in the Schiller Woods Forest Preserve near O’Hare Airport on May 17, 1972. (Snip) At the time of the killing, Larsen was 27 and on furlough from the Stateville Correctional Center near Joliet, where he was doing time for robbery.

Too bad the good inmates at the prisons couldn’t have taken care “of business.”

I believe strongly in the death penalty, and swiftly applied.

With any luck, potential victims will be able to outrun their elderly no stamina murderers. Or these guys will be so bedridden with infirmities, they won't be able to cause any harm. Don't sell them any guns...

What I found interesting was not about Larsen, but a headline on the copy of the Chicago Sun Times at the end of the post reads, "Bomb Blast Batters Pentagon". I wonder who did that? Trump supporters? I'll have to do some research.

Last year by only 5-4, the Washington state Supreme Court refused to release all prisoners over the age of 50. The suit was brought by activists and the ACLU. Two of those who would have been released was Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer. A man convicted of killing 49 women but is believed to have murdered 100. They just haven't found their bodies yet. And David Rice Lewis, a monster who murdered a family of four on Christmas Eve 1985. After drugging them, he beat them to death with an iron. The parents and two children ages 10 and 12. He was sentenced to death but it was overturned and he was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. Yeah, right.

Had the appropriate punishment been applied, these murderers would not be around to parole.
Liberals love murderers, rapists, and child molesters. They love them in our communities, near our children, walking our streets. Don't tell me liberals aren't evil. The revel in crime, disease, war, and use criminals as the pawns of their chess game. They relish in the chaos they create seeing it as just one more crisis not to let go to waste. This past year's death and carnage have proved this to my satisfaction.

Killers and molesters don't rehabilitate they will forever do their harm until they die.
Charles Manson only stayed in prison for as long as he did because Sharon Tate's sister appeared at all the parole hearing to object. Parole boards are mostly liberals with large bleeding hearts for deadly criminals. Manson admitted he would kill again if he could. Society is sick if they think these people can enter society without reverting back to their past, Criminals remain sick and don't fall for their, "I found God" BS it's just a clever lie.

Larsen can walk free of his prison when Casolari walks free of his grave, and not before.

Once again, I find myself agreeing with " Ol Ghec" from our early AOL chatroom (FTR) -who always endorsed the concept of " Electric Bleachers".
Fry 'm a dozen at a time!

In the 1970's he received a furlough which allowed him to kill an innocent boy. Decades later, another parole board releases him. Why do parole boards have so much power?
