How All Violent Crimes Should Conclude
Jay Leno have claimed time after time that he loves stupid criminals. Well, I'm sure he'll chuckle about this, although probably not publicly.
There was a man who habitually enjoys robbing retail stores, by the name of Leonard Hudson. Unfortunately, his sweet life was snuffed out in an instant, cutting short his not-so-promising career in retail store heists.
Yesterday, Hudson robbed a fishing & bait store with a weapon (armed robbery) near 31st and Canal. As he was chased by employees, he ran down the street and jumped onto the huge expressway known as the Dan Ryan Expressway (the part of highway in Chicago where I-90 and I-94 temporarily converges). By some miracle, he was able to run across many lanes of this highway unscathed, to the median separating the south and north-bound sections.
At this particular section of the Dan Ryan Expressway, not only is the median just a concrete barrier, but it also opens up with two tracks for the CTA Red Line tracks. Well, Hudson scaled the concrete wall, and jumped onto the El tracks. Just like magic, or fate slowly catching up, the petty robber got hit and run over by a Red Line train.
Considering he was pronounced dead at the scene, it's pretty safe to assume that this repeat criminal won't be robbing stores and terrorizing business owners anymore. This happened so fast that even the police did not have a chance to respond to the call when the guy got killed! This is what I call karma at work.
This is how all violent crimes should end, with the perpetrator dead, without police involvement, without the victim involvement, and certainly without taxing our judicial system. Although it is still kind of sad that someone had to lose his life, but this is probably better for society at large. The only cost? A couple hours of inconvenience to the hundreds of law-abiding Chicago citizens stuck on the Red Line trains near the scene of the sweet justice.
If only all violent crimes conclude by solving itself out...
