What would keep him in jail if he was only charged with State charges? He has no prior gun charges. There does need to be a dangerousness standard. I say this as a progressive.

Well maybe conservatives should focus on that one part instead of the whole law and you can change minds but they'd rather go scorched earth because it's a better political strategy for a power grab.

A conservative governor in NJ did it. Why can't they?

Better yet, rather than rant about what conservatives do, you should write or call your state senator or assemblyperson and say that you believe there should be a dangerousness standard. Let them know that their progressive constituents disagree with them on this so they don’t just assume it’s only conservatives who feel that way.

Better yet stop playing games and do the same with your law makers.

Right, jail should be used to protect the rest of society from potentially dangerous individuals while they wait for trial.

It should not be used as a means of punishing people before they are convicted of a crime.

So there should be a dangerousness standard right? Because if there wasn't he'd be out on bail.
