    https://cwbchicago.com/2021/11/53-man-charged-with-shooting-1-year-old-while-on-recognizance-bond-for-felony-gun-case.html

    Prosecutors said one of two men who engaged in a gunfight that left a 1-year-old boy with a gunshot wound earlier this month was on bond for a pending felony gun case.

    Maalik Lumpkins, 19, is charged with two counts of attempted murder in connection with the incident, making him the 53rd person accused of killing, trying to kill, or shooting someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for a felony. A total of 75 victims are involved in those crimes.

    Lumpkins and another man arrived at the gas station near 75th and State streets in the same car around 1:25 p.m. November 11, police said. At some point, prosecutors said, Lumpkins began running after the other man and shooting him six times. The other man also fired back, striking Lumpkins in the chest.

    A bullet also grazed 1-year-old’s head as he sat in a car about a block away, police said. He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where he was stabilized after surgery, according to police.

    Lumpkins and the other man were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in critical condition.

      With our current Cook County prosecutor, many would be surprised he was even charged. Perhaps the charge will be dropped or reduced so that he can be home for Christmas.

            It's long been known in prison circles that prisoners don't cause as much trouble within the prison after they reach 40 years old. Wonder if that works for some of these guys...No parole until 40.

                        What is the answer?

                        Keep them in the jails? Ban all guns? Force everyone to have a gun? More police? Less police? Forced sterilization? More job training? Boot camps? etc

                        I dont know what the answer is either.

                          Keep violent career criminals behind bars. I seriously doubt most of these folks were awaiting trial on first offenses.

                            I agree, but I dont think that is the root cause. Putting them in jail AFTER they have committed a violent crime is closing the door on the bar after the animals are gone.

                            What is the root cause and how to solve it?

                              For many of those countries, the citizens have little freedom whether they are incarcerated or not.

                              And if you are incarcerated here you probably have more freedom than a lot of people who are not incarcerated.

                                  Root cause? LBJ - Great Society. LBJ tore black families apart and he knew exactly what he was doing, when he did it. Most of these violent offenders are young black men, growing up in poor neighborhoods with no father.
