He stated that he would walk into areas where there are kids, and either shoot or sexually abuse them. He allegedly made several comments like these. Willie had already made threats like these when he was first arrested. However, due to cashless bail, Willie was released. The charges were later dropped.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Federalist has more on this story:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Feminist magazine?Reduxx reported in October that Willie initially was apprehended in Perry County, Illinois, a rural enclave of about 21,000 people approximately 70 miles southeast of St. Louis. Sheriff&#8217;s deputies had gotten word that Willie was seen making &#8220;disturbing threats towards schools and local children, specifically indicating there were plots in-progress to commit a school shooting, though no single institution was named,&#8221; according to Reduxx.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Reduxx reported Willie was released at the time on non-monetary bond about two days after being booked on a charge of resisting arrest. The suspect was initially charged with disorderly conduct as well, but Perry County Sheriff Chad Howard told the publication that the charges related to the threats were dropped due to a lack of a specific target.<\/p>\n<p>He also cited Illinois&#8217; SAFE-T Act, suggesting law enforcement&#8217;s hands were tied.<\/p>\n<p>A little less than a month before, the state Supreme Court had issued its ruling upholding the law and making Illinois the first state in the nation to eliminate cash bail entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Howard said that even if Willie is convicted on the resisting arrest charge against him, jail time isn&#8217;t likely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Federalist has more information on this <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/12\/14\/illinois-cooks-up-cashless-bail-and-discovers-its-a-perfect-recipe-for-lawlessness\/\">story<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jason Lee Willie, a transgender that goes by Alexia Willie, communicated threats that involved harming children. &hellip; <a title=\"With the benefit of hindsight, Illinois sees that cashless bail is a bad idea\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=150984\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">With the benefit of hindsight, Illinois sees that cashless bail is a bad idea<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,47,13,236,271],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime","category-liberals-suck","category-society","category-wtf","category-ygbsm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=150984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150984\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=150984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=150984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=150984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
