Cook County prosecutors, according to CWB Chicago, argued to jail a 19-year-old Southwest Side Chicago man who allegedly shot a dog in the head and was caught with 50-round ammo magazines.
Instead the judge, Mary Rubio, the accused has a nighttime curfew and his ordered to stay away from the dog's owners. Police reports do not indicate if the dog, "Remi," survived the ordeal. The judge didn't agree that the accused, Daniel Bender, is a public security threat.
Last month Bender was arrested for allegedly pointing a gun at a woman.
On Monday, the SAFE-T Act, which abolishes cash bail in Illinois, went into effect. Detractors of the legislation call it the Purge Law.
Call me naive, but I am of the opinion that a coward who shoots a dog will think nothing of shooting a person.
