Why Wasn't Daniel Lecrae in Jail?

On Wednesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan digs into a brewing controversy in the Brew City. Why was a dangerous criminal freed after threatening and attacking police officers, only to beat a security guard to death just six days later?

On Friday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan highlights the bizarre case of self-described "write-in candidate" for Governor Carlos Dixon, who has been stealing other Democrats' yard signs in Milwaukee. As Dan explains, he calls himself a socialist revolutionary, is not particularly bright, and totally unafraid he will be arrested for the crimes he videotaped himself committing. He's a perfect Democrat! And the entire affair is a great window into the results of the Democratic Party's insane policies.
