When Jessica Hill and her sister, Jayla, tried to walk into a shoe store in Chicago on Sunday, a security guard asked the pair to put on masks and use store-provided hand sanitizer.
Instead, prosecutors said, they refused and brutally attacked the guard, with Jayla, 18, eventually grabbing the man’s hair while Jessica, 21, stabbed him 27 times.
Sick.
In Illinois, which has had more than 387,000 coronavirus cases and more than 9,800 deaths, a statewide mandate requires masks in public and while working.
Oh, and there is a statewide mandate that requires everyone to wear masks in public!
As the sisters argued with the 32-year-old guard, who has not been publicly identified, Jayla Hill took out her phone to record the confrontation, the Sun-Times reported, and said she was calling someone to “kick his a‐‐.” The 6-foot-5, 270-pound security guard then reached for the phone, prompting Jessica Hill to allegedly pick up a trash can and hurl it at the guard’s face.
Oh, could it be because the injured security guard is NOT a visible minority?
The sisters punched the guard, prosecutors said, and then Jessica allegedly took out a “comb knife” that had a hidden blade and started stabbing him.
Jessica stabbed him in the back, neck and arms, said Karie James, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department, while Jayla held on to the man’s hair. They then kicked him in the head and body, prosecutors allege, while the guard and the store’s manager begged the women to stop.
And while the guard was taken to hospital in critical condition:
At the bond hearing on Tuesday, the sisters’ court-appointed attorney argued the first-degree attempted murder charges were too extreme because they were acting in self-defense and have bipolar disorder, according to the Chicago Tribune. The sisters have no criminal record.
The attorney also said the women had not planned to attack the guard. But the judge said she was concerned by the “sheer number”.
Self-defense? Are you on drugs or something?
And get this, the judge at the bond hearing was only concerned by how many times they stabbed the man and not with the attack itself?
WTF!
It the security guard was female, the legacy media would be up in arms. And the judicial system too.
But sadly, equality in the courts is not happening.
Oh, and for those that want to know, these are the two sisters:
As someone who does have mental disorders (namely, Austism Spectrum Disorder, along with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), I just want to say I outright despise a mental disorder being used as excuse/justification for wrong-doings.
