The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If that doesn't comport with the written report in subsequent news, that doesn't change the fact the perp was a well documented scumbag and should not have been out on bond. Sheesh.

Ah, yes - the "well documented scumbag" exception to the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments. - albaby


-----------------

I am sometimes awestruck by the liberal mindset when it comes to protecting innocent civilians from predatory criminals.

Here is from your earlier post,

"(b) In setting bail under this article, the magistrate shall impose the least restrictive conditions, if any, and the personal bond or cash or surety bond necessary to reasonably ensure the defendant's appearance in court as required and the safety of the community, law enforcement, and the victim of the alleged offense.

Eight felonies and three trips to TDC should satisfy the "safety of the community" criteria. It seems just so damn obvious.
