Rucker has been arrested 38 times and convicted 18 times, describing a “repeated history of punching strangers” and identifying him as being “colloquially known on [social media] as ‘The Loop Puncher.’”
The other man, 29-year-old William Livingston, was described as a “criminal gang member” with 29 arrests, 20 convictions, and a record of threatening police.
Chicago Tribune’s editorial board called the incidents emblematic of a deeper failure in the city’s approach to mental health and public safety.
Yup, social services is at fault here. No one else.
