Democratic policy has almost claimed another life on public transit. The victim is still alive, but horribly deformed after Lawrence Reed set 26-year-old Bethany MaGee on fire on a Chicago train. No word yet on whether she will be charged with illegal “smoking.”
Her attacker is, like Iryna Zarutska’s, a decorated alumnus of the criminal justice system—another hero of the bankrupt and broken Democrat Party. [Related: MORIN – We Must LEARN from the MONSTROUS Murder of Iryna Zarutska]
MaGee was riding a CTA Blue Line train Nov. 17 when Lawrence Reed, 50 — who has previously been arrested 72 times — suddenly doused her with gasoline and used a lighter to set her ablaze, authorities said.
MaGee was, by all accounts, a lovely young (white) woman until Reed, a guy with “22 prior arrests since 2016 alone and 53 criminal cases in Cook County dating back to 1993 — nine of them felonies for which he pleaded guilty,” lit up her life.

We could say he almost got that white girl, thanks to this idiot.
But Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez freed Reed on a felony aggravated battery charge for slapping a social worker so hard that she was knocked out during an Aug. 19 assault inside the psychiatric ward of the MacNeal Hospital, court records show.
Bethany, if she survives, has a rough road ahead of her thanks to the Left’s indifference to serial offenders, people with mental health issues, and especially if they are “of color.” Reed, on the other hand, will continue to live on the taxpayer dole, in or out of prison, but may have finally done something that will get him locked up for a good long while.
He’s managed the near-impossible. Committed more crimes than even (perhaps?) Chicago’s court system can find a reason to ignore.
Note to people in Democratic cities like Chicago. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Lawrence Reeds with long rap sheets, wandering your city with more freedom than you. They can ignore the law, unlike you, in a town that has disarmed you and armed them.
Bethany MaGee is in the news because of the nature of the crime (attempted immolation), but how many are attacked, robbed, carjacked, raped, or murdered all across Chicago whose names we’ll never know. It’s a lot, and it is every day, and that’s the Democrat way. [Related: MACDONALD: Watch the Democrat Agenda Kill More Americans]
