Dart's "Candyman"

The other week, Tom Dart was whining bout how he was being forced to keep inmates who's only offense was having a sweet-tooth and neglecting to pay for a candy bar. Our position was if they were being held in County, they probably had extensive rap sheets and more than one missed court appearance.

Looks like we were on to something - from our e-mail:
  • A disheveled looking Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart called an emergency news conference last week to discuss the “heart-breaking” dire situation at his jail. Low-level offenders were flooding his jail due too outrageous decisions by Cook County Judges. His highlight case example was this poor man who has been housed in his jail for 114 days for merely swiping eight bags of Snickers bars and a pair of scissors. Sheriff called this "stupidity of the highest order." The Chicago media ran with this story and named this pour soul the Snickers Bar Bandit which even conjured some national attention. It appears Sheriff Dart may have picked the wrong guy to use as his posterchild for unjust incarcerations. Yes, the Snickers Bar Bandit has 61 prior arrests but don't expect to read that in the local newspapers
Over an arrest per year and that probably doesn't include his undoubtedly extensive juvenile record. But Sheriff Asshat thinks this asshole should be out and about, free as a bird.

The best place for that criminal is in jail or prison so he cannot continue to victimize society!

61 prior arrests? How about the 500 more times he got away,fled, and never arrested! Media professionals at their finest. Shoplifters are known for getting caught well short of the times of actually committing the thefts. Aren't most crimes in general? The media believes everyone in jail and prison is "innocent". That is why out entire nation has degraded its morals and standard of living. Sad our kids have to see our future filled with urban decay.

And 61 times is only the amount of times he was CAUGHT. He's surely responsible for thousands of crimes.

The ComShit numbers are already dropping with him off the streets

Okay, that's eight BAGS of Snickers bars (and a bag goes from four to nine bucks apiece, depending on bag size). We aren't talking a candy bar, a couple of candy bars, or even one bag of candy bars.
And, that length of time incarcerated... well, that puts it right around Halloween that the goof stole eight bags of candy bars? Seriously?

Eight bags of candy bars, sold individually on the expressway ramp to benefit some phony church or made up youth program, and you've got yourself a couple hundred bucks to buy that job interview suit so you can turn your life around.

Sheriff Dart was an attorney prior to being elected. He was selected to be the Sheriff in hopes that he could protect their department from lawsuits and spin the Sheriff's Department in a positive light in the media. In Cook County's case, positive light means raging liberal hug-a-thug. Kind of like Toni Preckwinkle....the man became Sheriff of the second largest law enforcement agency in the state without ever wearing a badge before. Only in Cook County.

Gosh, nobody would ever commit a heinous crime over a candy bar, or a turkey leg, or a pork chop, or a shortie cigarette or a Facebook post. All trivial crimes that all led to homocide. And the so called "reform" programs at the Jail...don't exist.
Dart should focus his cost cutting on eliminating management and administrative spending, or just shut up.

Only 8 bags of snicker bars, this is why there are no real grocery stores in the hood. Shoplifting adds up, but dont worry some Arab will sell you chips and red pop thru bullet proof glass.

If he stole a box of snickers from Dart himself, Dart would demand Felony upgrade. Dart you are a hack and not worthy of your status.

I cant even watch this asshole Dart anymore. Anytime he is on TV my blood pressure goes up. He is the biggest disgraceful law enforcement officer I have ever seen. Sheriff Sheahan should move out of town as punishment for putting this abomination in office.

But he lets illegal child sex offenders out of cc jail after a conviction..... Back out to the streets of chicago instead of deportation.....giving them another opportunity to sexually assault yet another kid.
Both he and poindexter should be in prison for this....why do these two refuse to protect Americans? What about the citizens of chicago?

Dart has tried his very best at keeping repeat offenders out of jail, even when picked up on their very own (Cook County) warrants! It's too bad the media doesn't pick up on this stuff, what a story it would make.

Dart is such a fraud. He doesn't mind locking up thousands of drivers on suspended DL's so his office gets that corrupt 500 dollar fee to fund all his political hires. And most of these low level arrests are of minorities.
