Illinois, for example, has eliminated cash bail even for people accused of committing violent crimes, raising fears that no one will be safe on the streets of cities such as Chicago.
Fox News reports that Gianno Caldwell, a contributor to that network, appeared on Fox and Friends to denounce the new law, called in an Orwellian fashion the SAFE-T Act. Caldwell has a personal reason to be appalled. A criminal shot and killed his teenage brother in Chicago.
“It’s not criminal justice reform. It’s justice for the criminal. … Dan Kirk, who was the number two prosecutor in Cook County under the previous administration, in which Kim Foxx worked in, was a truth-teller. He gave me insights into Kim Foxx’s handling of cases, the undercharging of cases, what she did with Jussie Smollett, and many, many other issues.”

Caldwell hoped that the policies causing a crime wave in Chicago would change.

“It’s my hope that voices like him and Jim Murphy, who resigned in a scathing resignation letter, will be amplified and people can see the dangers which Kim Foxx is perpetrating on the residents of Cook County because this needs to end. This isn’t about Democrat or Republican anymore. It’s about humanity and things need to change in Cook County.”
A LOOK INSIDE DEMOCRATS' PLAN TO WIN BACK THE HOUSE WITH RECORD INVESTMENT
According to Fox 32 News, Caldwell interviewed Democratic State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford, an officeholder who is also speaking out against soft-on-crime policies that are endangering people. Ford hammered Fox and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for letting crime get out of control on the streets of Chicago.
“Too many babies have been killed. Too many fathers have been killed. Too many mothers have been killed. Too many brothers have been killed. And this has to stop. And the only way you stop it is you have a system in place that’s going to go after criminals.”
Ford also has a personal stake in ending the crime wave in Chicago. He related how his niece’s husband died from a drive-by shooting. Nevertheless, the Illinois Democratic Party continued to protect Fox and Lightfoot.
