THERE'S A KILLER ON THE ROAD & OTHER PRISON ESCAPES

"MEH, HE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE"...."HEY, WHERE'D HE GO?"

For three months, Mark Cherry ^ lay in a Chicago-area hospital room, close to death.

I like how Chicago is tough on criminals who use guns.

Obama must be so proud of Rahm!

"Tough on criminals who use guns" -- unless the criminal is lucky enough to get injured in the commission of a crime, receive free health care and lodging/food in a comfortable hospital room, get nursed into tip-top shape, and then walk right out the door to his freedom, no questions asked.

I don't think the hospital is to blame, that's weak finger-pointing and CYA by LE. IMO, the cops should have been staying on top of the suspect's condition and had him cuffed or guarded.

This guy is suspected of being a cold-blood killer and the evidence against him is strong. He'd kill a stranger to avoid getting caught stealing some bucks. So, why would he hesitate to do it again in order to get the money needed to retain his freedom? He doesn't have much to lose as far as I can see -- if he's caught, he's already likely looking at a life sentence.

Even though he was arrested and committed the crime in Gary, Indiana, he was a murder suspect hospitalized in Chicago, Illinois. I think that both Gary and Chicago LE honchos screwed up and some heads should be rolling on this one.
