My mother always said actions speak louder than words. So lets take a look at this crazy woman's actions.
Just a few of the many bad things she has done. To be fair the article also included that she had come from an abusive family and was placed in a foster home. And to a certain degree I would feel bad for her and would generally cut her a little slack. But 400 arrests is just too much. That is someone I no longer feel bad for. She held an old dude up at knife point!
Just an absolute waste of human potential.

Quote:Rolon recognized Shermain Miles because he’s seen her more times than he can count — drunk, half-naked, cursing and, on one occasion, lunging at another woman with a dinner fork.
Quote:Since 1978, Chicago Police alone have arrested Miles 396 times, mostly on the North Side — under at least 83 different aliases. Those arrests include 92 for theft, 65 for disorderly conduct, 59 for prostitution-related crimes and five for robbery or attempted robbery.
Quote:Miles is a master at working the system, says Rolon. She fakes seizures that mean costly hospital visits. She gets judges to delay her cases. And then she returns to the streets to be arrested again and again — so many times that she ranks in the top 1 percent for all current CPD arrestees.
Quote:Police arrested her last August, when — after a day of allegedly slapping, punching and generally harassing folks on a stretch of Broadway in Uptown — she is accused of chasing after Ald. James Cappleman (46th). That arrest landed her back in prison for a possible parole violation of a 2010 conviction for robbing a 75-year-old Bosnian immigrant at knifepoint.
Mujo Cesic, Miles’ victim in the knife robbery, wants another option.
“She should never be released,” said Cesic, a firefighter in his native Bosnia who spoke through a translator.
