#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Black man on PRE-TRIAL RELEASE walked through a FAMILY FESTIVAL punching strangers IN THE FACE...
...including 2 WOMEN, a 15-YEAR OLD BOY... and a DAD HOLDING HIS 1-YEAR-OLD BABY!!!!
...he was released the SAME DAY!!!!!!!!
Yes, he punched a man holding a BABY and he's already back on the streets.
This happened Saturday night in Aurora, Illinois, at the Moon Festival at Pacifica Square.
This is a free family festival, it's been going since 2020.
More than 1,500 people showed up for cultural performances, food, music.
At about 7 p.m., prosecutors say 30-year-old Calvin Jones started HUNTING.
First, they say he walked up to a 15-year-old boy who was walking with his SISTER, and punched him in the mouth, right under his left eye.
For nothing, totally random, the kid did nothing.
Then he walked up to two women and asked them for a cigarette.
They said no.
So he punched them BOTH in the face.
Then, as a man walked past him carrying his ONE-YEAR-OLD CHILD... he punched that father in the face too.
A man holding a BABY.
Aurora police got there and took him down before he hurt anyone else and as they were arresting him, prosecutors say he spit directly into an officer's FACE AND EYE.
He's charged with 3 felony counts of aggravated battery in a public place, plus a felony for spitting on that officer.
...and then Illinois let him walk out the door.
Under the SAFE-T Act, those charges are NON-DETAINABLE. He was released with "conditions."
Don't talk to the victims.
Don't go back to the mall.
That's it. That's the whole thing.
BUT IT GETS WORSE.
Calvin Jones was ALREADY out on pretrial release... for a burglary case in DeKalb County.
He was already in the system. Already out.
And prosecutors say he used that freedom to go punch a teenager and a father holding an infant.
His next court date is October 13th.
Until then, he's out there... and you know there will be more vicitms.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!
