Maniac repeat offender accused of setting Chicago train rider on fire now charged with trying to torch City Hall

The deranged career criminal charged with setting a woman on fire on a Chicago train last month has been indicted on an additional charge for allegedly trying to torch City Hall just days earlier.

Lawrence Reed, 50, “maliciously damaged and attempted to damage and destroy” Chicago’s City Hall building on Nov. 14, prosecutors alleged in court records released Thursday.

Thankfully, the fire did not spread beyond the initial flames and did not cause damage, Mayor Brandon Johnson has said.
 
Three days after the City Hall fire, Reed allegedly doused a 26-year-old commuter with an accelerant and set her ablaze while aboard a CTA train.

The media is really going all out to paint this guy as a lunatic to absolve the mayor and previous democrat mayors of culpability for his running loose. :yowsa:

Once again, "the hair" (reminds me of Medusa):

Careful, now. You might just be insulting the next mayor of Chicago.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
