We need a habitual offenders law that imposes harsher sentences on repeat offenders. The majority of these violent crimes like the Loop punchers, the man who recently set a woman on fire, and many others are committed by habitual offenders with prior convictions in the double digits.

Yeah, even before his arson at Thompson Center, he was known to the police.

“Reed, who lives in Little Village, previously faced misdemeanor battery charges for punching multiple women in the face Feb. 29, seemingly at random, near the Harold Washington Library Center in the Loop, according to police and Cook County court records.

He was arrested for a similar incident in which he allegedly slapped a 42-year-old man in the face at the Halsted CTA Blue Line platform Feb. 21, police said.”
