Bethany MaGee, woman set on fire on the CTA (Chicago) Blue Line

Horrific incident and the man had 72 prior arrests. He should never have been on the streets. I hope the young woman will be able to recover physically and emotionally.

But do you know what will be worse? How Trump and Republicans will exploit this tragedy for political gain. Trump is already trying use the incident as a pretext to send federal troops to Chicago. (We know its only to set the precedent of using federal troops in Blue cties to try and steal the 2026 Mid-terms)

Isn't it ironic that the pedophile, sex tracking president is sudden concerned about protecting young women when he won't release the Epstein Files. Oh how I wish this cancer on America would just ****ing die!

I also feel Republicans will use the attack on the woman as a 21st Century "Willie Horton" type (1988) political ad against JB Pritzker should he run in 2028.

So you claim the republicans and Trump will try to use this as political gain, then you do just that and wish Trump would die.  Not to mention you've said very little about the piece of shit that did this to that young woman (who had a black lives matter logo around one of her social media pictures), and what should happen to him AND the judge(s) who have let this piece of human garbage walk out of their courtrooms a free man 72 times!

You people are SICK!

So pointing out that the guy had proven himself a serial predator who should not have been given bail so he could prey again is "exploit(ing what he did) for political gain"? DUers are Progs who need to experience being mugged ... at least 70 times.

This reads like the Norm MacDonald joke about celebrity rapists and how his friend said the worst part was the hypocrisy.

"Really? That's the worst part?"

They act like democrats don't exploit every event, no matter how big or how trivial, for political gain.

Any time a white woman - especially a young, attractive one - is attacked by a non-white man, it's used as propaganda. This goes back to before the Civil War.

The irony is still jaw dropping.

That’s worse than the event itself?!

And what’s wrong with Trump and Republicans using this for political gain? Things like this just go to prove we are on the right side of this issue.

Personally, I think DU-grade Progs should be demanding that their MSM sock-puppets cover black-on-black violence and murder as well as black-on-white. Are black assault victims, black rape victims, and black murder victims of lesser value than white victims of those crimes?
