On the Blue Line Train in Chicago, at 9:25 pm a 26-year-old white woman was set on fire by a 45 or 50 year old man. Depending on the reports, there was either an argument before the man doused her with a flammable liquid and set her on fire, or was simply sitting there when the man poured the liquid on her and set it on fire in an unprovoked attack. Update: It's been confirmed that there was no argument, this was an unprovoked attack.
The man is not being identified by the media, so you can draw your own conclusions.
While not identifying him nor providing identifying information, the media has helpfully reported almost every other detail about him.
So much for replacing cops with social workers.
He was released and set free, after that last attack, because of course he was. Set free by a Cook County Judge and sent home on home monitoring which was apparently not being monitored very well at all. Should we mention he has no home of record, either?

Yep, let mentally ill criminals continue to walk the streets no matter how many crimes they commit, let them roam free on public transit, then go on about how violence is down and Chicago and its transit system is very safe after an attack inevitably happens. Much like the Iryna Zarutska event a mentally ill criminal arrested multiple times but always given a slap on the wrist, if that, and returned to commit crimes again and again and again until someone gets killed or seriously maimed.
Anarcho-tyranny at its finest.

FYI, the local CBS affiliate actually showed a photo of the dude.
He wasn't of European ancestry:
Did not appear to be from South of the Border, nor a middle easterner nor an oriental.
Draw your own conclusions.
So sad that we've sunk so low....
Yet another place NOT to go.
Carry
Carry everywhere.................
If you see this situation, act accordingly.
B: Yep, when the media fails to reveal certain details, its almost inevitable who it will be.
drjim: That it is.
Old NFO: Yep, for all that Liberals live to push everyone to take public transit, they seem to do everything possible to make it dangerous and uncomfortable. Funny, that.
Matthew W: Yep, the bystanders here did absolutely nothing during the attack, nor in the aftermath.

.actually, Not true: , she was alone with the dude at the time of the attack. Once she got out of the car and onto the platform, passersby put out the flames and supplied First Aid and called for help.
B: Interesting, articles and officials quoted in them noted the people around her did not interfere in the altercation or try and put her out until she had already collapsed on the platform outside the train. Apparently its now confirmed there was no argument he simply attacked a white girl minding her own business.
