Chicago Doctor Beaten in Hospital Elevator By Freed Repeat Offender, Arrested 12 Times This Year Alone
A doctor from Chicago was brutally beaten by a man who has been arrested over a dozen times this year alone.
According to court filings, the 42-year-old cardiologist entered an elevator at Northwestern, where he was allegedly followed by Sean Popps. Popps then is alleged to have repeatedly punched the victim in the head until she stumbled backward, covering her face with her hands.
Chicago police note that Popps has been arrested a dozen times this year in the area of the campus. He was arrested seven times in 2024 and six additional times between 2020 and 2023.
A Chicago police report added that the woman sustained multiple bruises, abrasions, and hematomas to her face, head, arm, and hand. She had no prior contact with Popps, officials said, and the attack was entirely unprovoked.
A Northwestern security officer instantly recognized Popps from surveillance video, citing “approximately 30 plus prior incidents at the hospital where [Popps] had to be removed,” a detention petition stated. Another Northwestern officer reported having “incidents with [Popps] approximately two times a day over the last 19 months.”
At the time of the attack, Popps was on pretrial release for allegedly trespassing at a Streeterville residential building in October and attempting to escape from the police station lockup afterward.
Unfortunately, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson seems more inclined to protect violent criminals rather than citizens.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Johnson has claimed that imprisoning violent criminals is racist and immoral.
Speaking at a news conference alongside Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Johnson said that society needs to find other ways of dealing with the issue of violent criminals.
“We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence,” he exclaimed.
”We have already tried that, and we have ended up with the largest prison population in the world, without solving the problems of crime and violence.”
”The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that.”
”It is racist. It is immoral. It is unholy and it is not the way to drive violence down.”
