Life in "Progress" City

From the Queen City of Cincinnati, who hasn't had a conservative run the city since France built the Maginot Line.......

A 41-year-old man with a history of criminal convictions, including one for rape, was arrested and charged Wednesday with four rock-throwing attacks on female motorists since August, injuring two women.

Rodney Maxwell of Avondale is held at the Hamilton County jail in lieu of $250,000 bond. He faces four counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon.

He threw large rocks through car windows on Aug. 18, Aug. 20 and twice on Sept. 14, court records show.

All but one of the attacks occurred while the women were sitting at a red light in the 600 block of William Howard Taft Road, according to Cincinnati police. One of the Sept. 14 incidents occurred nearby, in the 2500 block of Highland Avenue.

But wait! It gets better for this guy; keep in mind he's all of 41 years old.

Maxwell is scheduled to appear today in Hamilton County Municipal Court. When he does, he also will face a judge on an unrelated charge of sexual imposition.

He is accused of following a woman into an elevator on May 26, standing directly behind her and grabbing her buttocks, court records show. He also allegedly exposed himself.

Maxwell has a prior rape conviction, according to court records, as well convictions for kidnapping, public indecency and aggravated menacing.

Maxwell was convicted of exposing himself to a staff member at the Volunteers of America halfway house in Over-the-Rhine in June 2007, court records show. He also was convicted of telling another staff member he was going to rape and kill someone.

Earlier this year, in July, he was convicted of a second public indecency charge after he approached stopped vehicles on a public street and exposed himself, according to court records.

Maxwell was convicted of a Oct. 2004 assault charge in which he punched a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy at the county jail. He has been in and out of state prisons and the Hamilton County jail several times over the past 20 years, according to court records.

If you are one of these "progressive" types answer this for me. What the hell is this guy doing on the streets?

Mind you this guy isn't out in "Redville" where this clown would have been behind bars for the bulk of his adult life. No. This guy is totally a product of the "progressive" mind set which lets convicted derelicts back on the streets to offend innocent citizens again.

One of the women was so terrified she had to have her boyfriend drive her to work the next three days.

But she need not worry about any of that if she lives in "Redville", where you can drive to work in peace.

What's so "progressive" about recidivism?
