I'm sorry. I'm pro-bail. It's a constitutional issue. The government is not supposed to be able to apply any determent to your freedoms until after they get a conviction.
What happens when they aren't expected to apply that clear constitutional requirement? You get Rittenhouse with serious determents to his freedom awaiting a bullshit trial. You get Julian Assange rotting in prison with no actual charges against him. You get Ross Ulbricht being harassed by guards all night while he should be preparing a defense against a trial that was if anything too speedy (most charges withheld until last minute, and then he had to prepare a defense from jail).
It may not always produce the outcome you want but does the constitution exist or not? If you say no. I want this or that person to get it whether its constitutional or not, next it will be you dealing with a post-constitution system.
what part of "released on his own recognizance" do you not understand? he didn't pay shit and he's a fucking danger to everyone but himself.
True! He also didn't show back up in court after his release (big surprise) so at least now there is a warrant out for his arrest. Any autistic 4-chan-ers or bounty hunters wanna do your thing?
This asshole had a previous rap sheet too...
Never move to Seattle. This is all ok apparently
I'm responding to the outrage of him being released. Of course he should be released, because we live in a free country and nobody should be locked up unless they've had a trial by jury.
The rule of law no longer exists. The idea of justice can only be upheld in a just society among a just peoples. We no longer have that.
Judge decided not to post bail just let him go
