Showing Original Post only (View all)CeaseFire employee/gang member charged with kidnapping and rape [View all]
Bloomberg and MAIG loses an average of four mayor members to the criminal justice system. While there have been a couple of really bad ones like Bob Filner and Gary Becker, most have been for run of the mill corruption.
and then there is this guy:
Hernandez faces 36 counts charging him with sexually assaulting and kidnapping a teenage girl while he worked for the program, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. Hes among at least nine employees of the anti-violence program to face serious criminal charges in recent years.

Hernandez is a ranking member of the Maniac Latin Disciples gang, prosecutors said. He was sentenced to prison for a 2006 gun conviction and a 2005 drug conviction, court records show.
Tio Hardiman, a former director of CeaseFire Illinois, said he was unaware of Hernandezs continued involvement in a gang. But he said Hernandez was effective in cooling off conflicts in Humboldt Park and Hermosa.

So do you expect every employer to monitor their employee's activities outside of work?

I guess I should rephrase that, we don't know if it was immediate but it did happen shortly after

He was fired. Period. He is no longer an employee, your subject line is false.

Fine. I'll happily stipulate that CeaseFire is no worse than the NRA

CeaseFire is run by well-meaning ninnies, NRA's board is downright malevolent

I don't like everyone on the board, but that does not make them criminals.
