I’m not a lawyer but I’m fairly certain you have to be charged formally in a court within a reasonable amount of time. A quick search says up to 72 hours. This story smells like bullshit to me. Most likely this is a attempt to get some niggers out of jail. Plenty of bondsmen out there to put up the collateral. And if they did violate your rights well then you aren’t gonna be charged. The courts have no excuse due to video calling and other tech.

I bet if you look at that Twitter account, it’s some commie.

They are charged. They have been arraigned abd bail set. They can't make bail, so they are locked up until trial.

[–] 1 pt

Don't they have bail bonds in Texas?

[–] 3 pts

You have to put up part of the bail. Basically someone else has to do it because its not like they let you take your credit card with you into the cell. And they aren't going to run to the ATM for you.

Or, they weren't offered bail.

up to 72 hours

3 days without water and most people die. They have a duty to ensure your health if they lock you up restricting your ability to see to it yourself.

72 hours to be arraigned. Up to 2 years to get your speedy trial.

That's not true you can set a timer for 180 days after you are formally charged with a crime but you have to invoke it.

So I’ll just come right out and say it all you are going to see is “texas bad” from here on out. The powers that be know demographically it is at a tipping point. They know if texas flips blue there is nothing anyone can do democratically to stop them. If you want to take this bait go ahead.

[–] 5 pts

Well Texas isn't bad. Texas cops are bad. As all cops are. Because they are an extension of the powers of ZOG.

[–] 1 pt

Yeah, you have to be charged with a crime. After you are charged you can be held for, I want to say up to two years, until trial.

[–] 0 pt

Sounds cool in theory, but in reality some people spend up to a year before trial.

So we should do cashless bail like New York?

Fuck no, but they should be moved to a facility with water.

[–] 7 pts

Fuck them. Most of the law-abiding citizen of Houston don't have running water, either.

[–] 6 pts

Anyone starting to think this is the beginning of them fucking with conservative states, using their control of the weather? Just me?

[–] 5 pts

My initial thought. Texas may actually attempt to secede. Of course they will cause as much pain and chaos as they can to punish Texans.

I'm simply failing to understand why some cold weather is crippling a state? Any clarity would be appreciated.

[–] 1 pt

Shit, me too. Although here in California we would be all kinds of unprepared if a blizzard suddenly hit, and we had no power.

It’s simple. The infrastructure is not designed to handle below-freezing temperatures, especially below freezing temperatures that lasts for days. It’s been at or below freezing since Monday.

The issue is not snow or ice on the roads. That would be annoying and shut down traffic and cause a ton of stupid accidents, but it’s not the main factor here.

Power generation in the state failed because none of the plants are set up to handle below-freezing temperatures. Power availability dropped, demand increased, and to prevent physical damage to the distribution lines, the grid operators had to kill wide sections of the grid. Add to that, we don’t have the same winterization standards on other aspects of power that the northern states do; for example, we don’t dehydrate our natural gas to the same degree and thus water in the lines froze the gas up. We literally were running out of accessible natural gas. Shit like that. Basically, everything started to fail due to the cold. There was likely some malfeasance on the part of ERCOT, distributors, and producers. We won’t know the full depth of their fuck-ups until the investigations start.

Water utilities failed because the power failed. In Houston, it was too cold for the back-up generators to start, so the system shut down. No water means that a lot of businesses can’t open. Now, they’re getting things back online but pressure is low, which can lead to back flow and thus necessitates the boil water warnings.

Roads did shut because they either iced up immediately, or couldn’t be plowed because why the fuck do we normally need snow ploughs in Texas? Some areas have experienced heavy snowfall too, not just an inch or two. This impacts supply lines for food and gas, making it hard to move things around the state. So stores run out of food, restaurants can’t open because the water can’t be served, and gas is becoming scarce. And oh, a major percentage of the entire nation’s refinery capacity is here in Texas, and they were impacted by the cold in the same ways power plants were. So gas shortages will be a problem.

So power and water go out in below-freezing weather for millions of people, for days.

That's a great explanation. Thank you. To be honest, I haven't been paying close attention to the weather. I knew there was snow, but I wasn't aware that the cold had been ongoing for this many days.

[–] 1 pt

What is it exactly that a power plant can not do due to the cold temperatures?

Generators will still run and produce electricity in cold temperatures.

Because it's a state that doesn't get much cold weather. So, nothing is designed for cold weather.

I live in a state that is both warm in the South and Cold in the North. Building codes, roads, just about everything is different.

A few years ago, we got a cold snap like Texas got. We got a good foot of snow in a few hours. Unheard of. Nobody knew what the fuck to do. It was a National Guard training weekend. Most soldiers decided to sleep in the armory instead of driving home for the night.

I went home with a buddy who lives a few blocks away from me. But on the way home was a steep hill. No snow plows in the city. Why the fuck would we have snow plows? So we start up the hill. Nope. No fucking way that was going to happen. No snow tires. Why the fuck would anyone have snow tires in a place where it doesn't snow?

Pipes freeze because they don't need to be buried deep underground. Roofs get damaged because they are flat.

Cold weather fucks up a place where infrastructure isn't built for cold.

Thanks, man. I just said to u/signus that I wasn't aware of the extent of snow and cold there. Almost a week. That is wild.

Texas is a southern state and is mostly hot/warm throughout the year.

The average person there doesn't own a coat, doesn't have heating or insulation in their house, their pipes aren't designed to protect against the cold so they burst, and they have no history of knowing how to handle snow so I doubt the state has a decent number of machines/vehicles designed to handle the snow.

Point is, people from a place that has never had a problem, can't deal with it the way everyone else that has said issue deals with it every year.

Are house prices much less in the south due to there being no heating and insulation along with all the heat ducts and whatnot that is required when a house has a central furnace for heat like nearly every house up north? I would think that would reduce the cost of home building significantly

I always wondered where they would keep something like that..

As much as I loathe niggers for being prone to violence and crime, I also loathe the vast number of low IQ police thugs who always play the power card that they've been given, when the use of reason is too hard for their brains to process, or inconvenient, and often disrespect the constitution because it creates those circumstances.

If only society could see that we don't need either to have a functioning society, both groups would be out of a job and poor on the streets where they belong.

No different than any other liar.

He spoke out about the Jew and they tried to ruin him.

It's obvious this is true simply because niggers and shitskins are not a military level threat. Whites are.

Context is normally important. What are they there for?

[–] 5 pts

Niggers couldn't pay with their EBT card. Their food stamp/welfare card (whatever they call it in Texas). So the niggers just took whatever they wanted.

SJWs are claiming the niggers didn't steal anything, that they took what was rightfully theirs. And the fine upstanding niggers were the victims because they couldn't pay with cash.

They must be some transwealthy individuals. Wealth is just a social construct you know. It really hurts when someone denies such an important part of a persons personal identity.

I guess it would be punishment if it doesn’t include a little suffering. We’re forced to pay for that food and water anyway.

So power goes out, idiots steal, get locked up. The usual 53% who are morally deficient, but also too stupid and too poor to pay. Boo fucking hoo, tough shit, bet the murder rate goes down now as well. It's not my problem if they get caught being thieves, jail is a good place for thief's.
