Found this online--
Disorderly conduct charged as a felony may result in an increased punishment. A Class 4 felony may result in a term of imprisonment for one to three years, while a Class 3 felony can lead to a sentence of two to five years. For a Class 3 felony, the Illinois disorderly conduct laws specifically require a fine in an amount between $3,000 and $10,000.

Disorderly conduct? Well, I guess they don't care if other people do this.

Regardless of what they call it, it's the same class 4 felony that has been discussed.

I don't know if this exactly applies in Illinois, but googling it:
What Is Disorderly Conduct?

Disorderly conduct charges may involve behavior that is threatening, disruptive, or that poses harm to persons in the nearby area. Most definitions of disorderly conduct would involve the following types of conduct:

• Engaging in fighting or violent/disruptive conduct
• Making an unreasonable amount of noise
• Refusing to obey legal orders involving public safety or hazards
• Disrupting emergency services
• Disrupting business or legal meetings
• Using language or gestures that are intended to provoke physical retaliation

These types of conduct can often result in criminal penalties for the offender. Most disorderly conduct charges result in a citation or in misdemeanor charges.

What Is Felony Disorderly Conduct?
On the other hand, some types of disorderly conduct cases can result in serious felony charges. These may include disruptive behavior that:

• Is conducted at an airport
• Is conducted during or near a funeral
• Involves a weapon (especially reckless handling of a deadly weapon)

For instance, if a person is in a crowded place and discharges a gun into the air, they could be found guilty of felony disorderly conduct. Another example is during a road rage incident, where the defendant waved a gun at another driver while on the road. In such cases, the felony charges may result even if no person was hurt. If the defendant points the gun directly at a person with the intent to intimidate them, the charges may escalate to aggravated assault charges.

What about using the US Mail for the fake letter? And the obvious race baiting? Shouldn't he be charged with something for that?? And have to pay the CPD restitution?

Maybe they cannot prove the letter YET. Charges can be upgraded at any time, or?

Just wanted to say I've enjoyed our thoughtful and respectful discussion on this horrendous topic. It's so great to be back after a few years at WS. Thank you all.

I think that is entirely separate as a federal crime vs. state.

That's federal and an entirely different process. I have no doubt that's coming.

The Feds will handle those

That's a whole different case and it's being handled by the US postal inspectors and the FBI.
