Last week, Bethany MaGee, 26, did what countless other women in Chicago do: she got on the CTA’s Blue Line to travel across the city. Unfortunately, so did Lawrence Reed, a 50-year-old career criminal with at least 72 prior arrests. Initial reports said Reed was arrested 22 times, then 49 times. Regardless, he should not have been free to roam the streets of Chicago, and now an innocent woman is in the hospital fighting for her life.
