Daily Broadside | Illinois Leads the Ranks of States with Insane Crime Bills

Daily Verse | Daniel 4:17
“The Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men.”

Tuesday’s Reading: Daniel 7-12

Tuesday and if you live in Illinois like I do, have you heard that The Purge will be a 24-7-365 reality starting January 1, 2023?

This is, in fact, very real. It’s called the SAFE-T Act which, as all laws the Democrats produce, is nothing short of a monstrous lie. Here’s how Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau describes what’s coming.

The new law eliminates cash bail for 2nd-degree murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery. Any criminal with an ankle bracelet can’t be pursued for 48 hours if they don’t show up in court. Talk about a head start! As Pekau says, “They can almost drive to Alaska, before we can even look for them.”

Worse for private residence or business owners, police will no longer be able to remove trespassers who decide to squat on your property. Ominously, Pekau says, “Someone could decide to live in your shed, and all we can do is give them a ticket. You have to decide what level of force is required to remove them. And whether or not it’s legal.

This is more of what the anti-American, anti-law, anti-Constitutional criminal party of mobsters known as the Democrats are doing to destabilize society and sow chaos. It’s not unreasonable to say that Illinois residents now feel less safe than before.

On January 1, 2023, Illinois will open the prison doors and release anyone charged with almost any crime but who can’t make bail. Think of the victims of rape, or assault or robbery. Their attackers will walk free.

Furthermore, this denies crime victims their constitutional rights. Article 1, Section 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution, codified in the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, mandates that crime victims shall have the right to have their safety and that of their families considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail, determining whether to release the defendant and setting conditions of release after arrest and conviction. Eliminating bail clearly contradicts previously established and superior law, places crime victims at a greater risk to be re-victimized, and unnecessarily subjects witnesses to threats and intimidation.

Chicago has always been corrupt, but this is taking it to another level entirely. It’s spreading the joy across the whole state.

And why?

To level the ground for all criminals. As the thinking goes, “Why should some criminals get to pay their way out of a cell, but others can’t?” It’s so perverted and twisted and warped, catering to criminals at the expense of the law-abiding, exactly the opposite of a safe and well-ordered society.

Don’t be surprised if you see a mass exodus out of Illinois in coming months. In the meantime, if you live here, arm yourself, buy ammo, and get networked with your neighbors. When everything falls apart, no one is coming. Or, if they do, there’s not much they can do.

You’re on your own.
