Two Villains As Yet Unhung
Last week, a 58-year-old man in Lake Villa was beaten to death in an alley behind Walgreen’s on his way home from a purchase at a local store.

Authorities have charged Lake Villa Township residents Jordan L. Toney, 19, of the 39000 block North Poplar Street, and Buddy W. Johnson, 20, of the 21600 block of West Birch Street, with three counts of first-degree murder. They are held in Lake County jail on $5 million bail, authorities said.
Authorities say they have now identified the 58-year-old man who was the victim of a fatal beating and robbery Saturday in an alley near downtown Lake Villa.
Preliminary autopsy results indicate Jerry Griffith of Lake Villa died from multiple traumatic injuries after the attack near the 300 block of Grand Avenue, Lake County Coroner Dr. Howard Cooper said Wednesday.
These two geniuses decided that they would find a victim in someone who was least likely to be able to resist them. Like any other predators, they waited for the right moment and beat Mr. Griffith to death when he was on his way home from a local store, robbed him, and dropped a 40 lb. sandbag on his head before they left him there.
The mug shots in the articles show us what charming fellows they must be.
Lake Villa is a sleepy, quiet suburban bedroom community which used to have a low crime rate. That has changed lately. Unfortunately, the element of surprise was at work here.
If you think a gun might have stopped this, I would say it’s rather doubtful in this case. It’s more likely that they’d have stolen the gun along with Mr. Griffith’s wallet and keys. He certainly did not deserve what they did to him.

I’m normally a fan of hanging. It has a long precedent, it’s humiliating and dishonorable (not the soldier’s death of the firing squad), it’s relatively quick (depending on method), but not so quick the target gets out the door without realizing what a piece of shit we think he is. I’d also presume, especially in the more strangulation-based methods, that it hurts like a sonuvabitch.
So as much as I approve, I have to say these two savages deserve something worse, like being fed, alive, to feral dogs. Those mangy mutts gotta eat too.
Wild Russian boars on a rampage would be good, too.
I am a fan of Old Sparky, very painful. With these to miscreants I would slit their ball sack fill with gasoline and maybe a little WP, then light them up and wait until their painful death, then piss on them to put the fire out?
Illinois abolished the death penalty last May. If these guys are guilty, and they get the max, which is doubtful, they’ll get life w/o possibility of parole.
Scaphism is my new preferred punishment for people like these two.
With modern medical science we could skin them or burn them, put them back together, heal them up, and start over again. Time and time again.
I would go along with any of that, but hanging screaming for mama would work too…those worthless little bastards are bad spawn and will never be worth anything…hang them now and get it over with, with little or no taxpayers expense, they are’nt worth it! imo
Just so we have it ready for them after they are found guilty and sentenced to death:
According to Popular Mechanics (January 1998),
The problem with hanging is that the drop length, hence the rope length, is critical. The desired result requires 1260 ft.-lb. of force to snap the neck. If the drop is too short, the victim strangles — a horrific episode that can last up to 15 minutes. Too long a drop risks decapitation — an equally unappetizing event. To calculate the correct drop length (in feet), the equation is 1260 divided by the victim’s weight.
East to do correctly with a smart phone and a tape measure. Let the neck-tyin’ commence!
If there’s not an app for that, I may have just found my winter project. Now to just come up with a snappy name. Oh, how about “Snappy”, has a nice ring to it. Clever, descriptive, and a single word. Brilliant!
Just fill his pockets with rocks and call it close enough
Sorta what Blackjack Tom Ketchum went through in 1901.
Robbing a train was a crime to lose one’s head over.

so? whats the question, let the little bastards hang there squirming, like they did their victim!! imo
Since these things don’t really happen without a precedent of some kind, such as criminal behaviors that got worse over time, my guess is that these two will likely get life sentences at one of the state prisons, and won’t be out on bond at all while waiting for their preliminary hearing.
I’m hoping that the reason they were picked up so quickly was because there were surveillance camera in the streets and the alleys in Lake Villa.
What’s wrong hanging someone with piano wire. It worked great with the conspiraters of the 1944 attempted killing of Adolph H.
1. Rope.
2. Tree or Gallows.
3. The Perps.
Some assembly required.
Wooden post
Flammable liquid
Ignition source
Scumbag
Handcuffs
Break out the marshmallows!
Sounds like a waste of a perfectly good wooden post when you could use a couple of old tires instead! 😀😈
Drowning is no walk in the park either, and my
Callinectes sapidus have to eat too.
Now, my usual for this is Scaphism, as a go to, however, after someone else posted this here the other week, I am more inclined for this to be their punishment, until death.
NSFW
Also…. Am I bad for laughing at this? Nahhhh.
“WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!WE!
WE!”
Can you imagine where his nuts were after the boulder was disconnected? I’m guessing that when he walked, they were one zip code behind the rest of him.
His nuts will need their own pair of shoes to keep from dragging in the dirt!
Dat war me. Us’n space-fellers think alike.
Bubba and Thor are going to get some fresh meat here soon
Looking at the picture in the article, it’s easy to picture somebody telling that little shit he’s got a purty mouth.
Their High School transcripts show that they earned a degree in Prison Bitch.
Find one of those tree service crews like Asplund or Lucas with the tow behind chipper.
I love the sound of those things when they hog down on something tough. Lets see how tough these two creeps are.
On the other hand, take them out in the woods to learn all about “whole tree” chippers.
Gone in the blink of an eye.
Feet first.
Take them into the woods, stake them to the ground, open up some cuts, and let whatever critters happen to wander by feast.
Also – shouldn’t it be “unhanged”?
It’s very rare to catch Ex in a grammatical error. But in common usage, it’s like a clip vs magazine thing.
Sr Mary Vicious would whack your pee-pee with a metal rod for writing that, AW1Ed.
She’d have to catch me first. SMV in her walker, me on my cane- I like my odds.
Mom was a journalist, and Aunty was a librarian. I was doomed to a world of proper grammar, syntax, and usage of the English language from a very young age.
Technically, “unhanged” is grammatically correct, although ‘hanged’ is the active verb and ‘hung’ requires a helper or compound verb, e.g., “I have hung the pictures”. It mostly depends on the contest in which it is used.
However, the literary reference ‘the greatest villain unhung’ is a reference to Colonel Fairfax, found in Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘The Yeomen of the Guard’.
It also appears in ‘Ruddigore’, referring to Despard, who was loathed by everyone in the village. It means ‘hanging is too good for him’.
John Dillinger was hung–like a horse, it is said. It was rumored that he was unhung, too, with his pickled pecker loped off and put on display in a museum after he was shot to death.
I have a feeling these two punks have never been hung.
But they might be pimped out, for Top Ramen, to someone that is.
Just saw the pic of young Mr. Jordan L. Toney.
This cake boy had better become someone’s bitch in a hurry if he wants to survive a week in the slam.
He’ll also get a vivid learning experience in the difference between hung and hanged.
Some Ramen, cigarettes, a magazine,… they’ll get more than their fair share of tube steak and man mayo!
If the victim was inebriated, I can understand how these two got the drop on him. No mention in media of security cam footage from an alley cam. A woman found him laying in the alley and called it in. CBS Chicago has a short news report on their YouTube channel.
Well, the two perps were found so quickly that there must have been something that ID’d them. They did, after all, rob him.
These guys can’t imagine what lies in store for them over the next 50 or so years. They will pray for death on a daily basis, I’m thinking. Well, I would be. They are weak looking little pussies. They better buff up and gang up damn quickly after going inside the prison.
Hopefully this pair will go to the state prison with the highest percentage of psychopathic and violent inmates. That way there is a good chance they get their heads bashed in just for looking at someone the wrong way.
^^^^THIS^^^^
NOT the scariest looking POS criminals ever….NO reason a concealed carry gun wouldn’t have handled them.
Jerry Griffith was a personal friend of me and my entire family…He was a good man and a good friend. He is sorely missed and will always be remembered.
When Toney & Johnson arrive in the Illinois Dept of Corrections they will suffer what hopefully will be a long life of misery and horror. My family members and friends incarcerated throughout the gulag eagerly await the arrival of these two dirtbags.
We hope for their eternal torment and pain as well. Death would be too easy for them.
Sorry for your loss Mr. Nelson. My family will include you in our thoughts and prayers as you go this Christmas season without Jerry.
Thanks. I spent 10 years in prison for bank robbery. When I got out …it was pretty hard finding a job. Jerry loaned me $200.00 & I bought a Milwaukee buffer and started detailing cars and did pretty good financially. He assisted one of my brothers in getting into the International Union of Operating Engineers. He was such a good man. And to die in an alley at the hands of some low level two-bit punks…it don’t sit right with me.
I sincerely hope they spend some time asking themselves why they did this, in the first place.
Based on my observations of similar maggots as these two in the Big House…they won’t spend anytime at all thinking of why they did it…they will spend their time on lockdown in protective custody after their welcoming reception trying to convince fellow protection cases that they are actually gangsters or extolling lies about how they were the next best thing to John Dillenger on the street.
Or in the alternative they will be punked and turned out ( forced to become homosexual sissies under the protection of a strong man or gang. THAT IS THE REALITY OF LIFE IN THE IDOC for 75% of most White guys. Both these punks have FAIRY stamped all over them.
Good to know that those punks’ lives will be complete and total hell, they deserve every bit of it! Do they still refer to Protective Custody as “Punk Central”?
YES SIR.
The future sissy with the lips inked on his neck…I see him checking out of his own accord within a year…the other punk will be like Speck and grow to like being sodomized….two worthless scumbag candyass maggots, probably drug addicts who went from snatching purses from old ladies and muggings to murder of a guy who literally would have freely handed them the money on demand and had they simply just hit Jerry up for spare change had they simply asked… They chose to rob and murder together : they should be tried together. Instead they will get separate trials so that they can each play the blame game and point the finger at the other…in an attempt to get a better deal…Tearful apologies at sentencing ain’t gonna cut it for these future rape victims…All the worries in the World ain’t gonna bring Jerry back. Both these monsters deserve the Death Penalty at the hands of the State…or another convict.
Like I said, they deserve EVERY BIT of hell and misery coming their way and your input multiplies my Schadenfreude.
Going to prison is perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me. I was the same age as these guys … Stupid but thought I had all the answers…I always worked ..but never seemed to have enough money…so I turned to low level street crime…I used to tell the crew I ran with, LA Gaylords primarily…my brother was a member , guys if you get caught breaking into the car to steal the radio –you go to jail…ergo, steal the whole car its all about reward v. risk…I never considered mugging, purse snatching, car jacking period. Back then those were crimes done by junkies. All the murders back then were by gunfire. Gang related. I can not wrap my head around killing anyone for any amount of money period let alone the $20.00 or $30.00 Jerry was murdered over. Unlike Nancy Pelosi…I don’t see a Spark of Divinity in these maggots. To me they are not even animals. To call them Animals is to disparage animals. This is a case that calls for the Death Penalty. They are not Black. To execute two White males who are guilty as hell of Assault, Robbery and Murder is not Bias or disproportionate to their offenses. They are not victims of their environment. Lake Villa. Gurnee. Gauges Lake. Grays Lake. Volo. These areas are nothing at all to the NW Side if Chicongo in the 80s. The only Spark of Divinity that needs to be seen is the arc flash via a seven second duty cycle of 2200 volts at 12 amps. These punks don’t deserve 20 years of sodomy and drugs like Speck having a gay old time on Death Row. My Bible has a number of verses that deal with the situation. GENESIS 16:12 JUDGES 15:7;8 JEREMIAH 48:10 & PSALMS 144:1 There are just as many verses to support the Death Penalty as there are to support the fact that Jesus the Son of God was a Man of Action and righteous violence to counter the Left wing narrative that he was a long haired hippee pacifist.
