Why are you against bail?

There are crimes where bail (should just be RoR if bail applies unless the person has the means aka lots of money to flee prosecution) is applicable, and crimes (like this one) where it is not.

We have a saying for the bail commissioners: “Make it $40 since it might as well be a million.” Bail is backwards.

In this case? He should just be held.

What’s your basis for believing bail should be denied for this person’s crimes? Just looking for some clarification

The fact that they’ve already placed multiple people in fear and have likely traumatized many of them. He’s victimizing people, not property, and appears to be escalating.

He can be held as he is clearly a danger to the public if he is allowed to be free and the state can’t guarantee the safety of the public from this monster whiles he’s out on bail.

But who am I kidding, we’ve got people on ELMO for shooting people still shooting people and nobody is interested in holding them so this guy will be out by the close of court today. Hopefully that makes you feel better about the states current bail situation.
