Bethany MaGee, 26, identified as Chicago
victim set on fire on CTA train by serial
thug with 72 arrests

Somebody needs to be sued. But I don't know if that is even possible. The mayor and governor need to be forced to help care for this poor woman. Change her bandages, make sure her morphine is given to her on schedule, dump out her catheter bag. Look at her burned face and body and tell her "it's not our fault" while she weeps in pain. This is awful, this is hell. We have all gotten a burn from the stove or an iron and know that even a small burn can be very painful. Imagine if it was all over your body. You will never be the same again no matter what the professionals can accomplish. 72 prior arrests! What is wrong with these people. Here is wishing one of the scores of idiots who did nothing to stop this man can be sued, disbarred, kicked out whatever. Someone needs to pay for this crime and I do not just mean Reed. Lord, help this child.

How is the young lady. This is not mentioned. The victim is always forgotten.

What we want know is names of all the ‘judges’ who are responsible for releasing this scum 72times.

Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez

Re #2, I have not forgotten about her. She is in very critical condition, M\gedia attenion would be intrusive. Sonerhing neiher shen nor her family would want right now.

Forgive typos. Hands v. bad tonight.

“The state court system has been unable to contain defendant’s violent crimes, and federal intervention is now needed,” US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros wrote in the government’s detention . I just love how republicans jam that sarcasm knife in and twist it around in Democratic leadership.

Lord have mercy. A government which does not protect it's souls from this horror does not deserve to exist.

The "judge" who released this monster needs to spend the rest of her life in prison.

Okay, where is the out cry of those people in Chicago? Why is this judge still on the bench? Why is this a common thing happening when African American judges release professional African American criminals that usually end up killing or setting a white woman on fire. What is really going on here. Do I see a pattern or what. Can someone please tell me I'm wrong.

When Judge Molina-Gonzalez released Lawrence Reed, she said, “I can’t keep everybody in jail because the state’s attorney wants me to.”

As OP suggests, flipping the race in this crime would have Chicago undergoing a George Floyd type circus right now. America will soon reach a boiling point. Why do these filthy monsters attack helpless young girls?

Bottom line, just another instance of a homicidal violent Black criminal “nut job” assaulting an innocent White person (or Black person) in a big leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat run big city. As you can see, from the Chicago Mayor’s goofy response, the Democrats there who run the city politically simply ignore the clear fact of big city Black life that continuously repeats itself. The reason for that Democrat stance, including not incarcerating Black criminal “nut jobs” is that they depend on the Black city demographic, in other words, a big Black vote, to maintain their political control and power over those cities. Obviously they don’t think that the Black demographic has the smarts to figure out for themselves the difference between the small Black population who are homicidal and violent criminal “nut jobs” and the greater Black demographic that is generally law abiding just like the majority demographic and every other ethnic or racial demographic throughout in the USA.

If you live near dimocrats, you're in danger. Get away, asap. Your life depends on it.

The president has the legal bandwidth to deploy armed marshals, like Federal Air Marshals (FAM) in the aviation domain, on all forms of public transportation. The 2001 Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), Public Law 107-71, created TSA, placing it with the Dept of Transportation before moving it to the newly created Dept of Homeland Security in 2003, and puts the responsibility for transportation security squarely on the federal government and not private security firms, previously contracted by host cities or transportation carriers. The bluest of governors and pro-communist mayors have no say in how ATSA is administered. ATSA has been primarily focused on aviation security, given the impacts of 9/11, but the law includes all modes of public transportation, including bridges, tunnels, rail and maritime and port transportation venues. TSA has previously run excursions within other transportation venues to test the efficacy of expanding transportation security to modes other than aviation. The attempted murderer cited in the article, Reed, (as well as the murderer of the Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte), could have been shot in the head before destroying a young woman's life as the article describes. The funding for expanded operations could be appropriated before the GOP risks loses control of Congress in '26 or '28. The president could make that happen. ATSA has been challenged in court but it has essentially not been changed or micromanaged by Federal District Court judges. Not even Chicago is exempt from ATSA, as ORD and MDW airports, major United, American, and Southwest Airline hubs are in compliance with the law, which supersedes any pushback from local or state authorities. Trump does not need further "permission" or Congressional authorization, just the required appropriated dollars. It should also be noted that after ATSA was enacted in late 2001, the required expansion of the FAM program would take more than a year, so the Bush Administration brought in, on an interim basis, federal agents from across the federal LEO spectrum until a sufficient number of FAMs could hired, trained, and deployed. Since CBP, including ICE, are already working in Homeland Security, TSA's parent Department, Trump could deploy ICE agents to supplement existing FAMs, as Bush did in '01 - '02. Many positive benefits could accrue from that.

These judges need to be prosecuted. When prosecutors in CHICAGO beg for someone to remain in custody, that should tell the judge all he (or she) needs to know. There has got to be accountability somewhere in the system when they let these violent, mentally ill people go free.

A judge who refuses to keep the perp locked up and news meeeedia who conform their reporting to their ideological narrative are collaborating to burn down Western civilization. F'm.

Prayers for Bethany, that she survives and is able to reconstruct some kind of life.
