Look, prison reform should happen. Judicial reform should happen.
Wub, wub wub - shit sucks.
We've all raised awareness on this issue now, pat yourselves on the back and go eat a tasty virtue cracker.
Bail is a major racket, guys. I don't want to get into explaining it today, but I don't think this crowd needs me to mansplain how it is a total rent-seeking operation anyway. If any of you need an explanation, let me know and I'll get to it.
My original post has nothing to do with the merits of bail. It was the lack of acknowledgement that these people did anything to get themselves put into jail in the first place.
No, it's not. The reason they are in jail is because they are either guilty of breaking a law or thought to be guilty of breaking a law. More likely it's the former not the latter. They may still be in there because they can't afford bail, but that is not the sole reason for them being there. I bet you believe it's just full of guys who are there because their woman lied to get them put in jail. Cue STA rant on how all women are dishonest and set men up in 3,2,1.......
Bzztt..
Presumption of innocence here, and it's not uncommon for innocent people to plead guilty. The bond racket is strong. It's just a money-making racket, and prosecutors abuse it to railroad innocent people all the time. The stories of innocent people pleading guilty so their lives are not ruined by waiting upwards of a year in jail for trial are actually fairly common. You need only run a simple search.
Inevitable conclusion when your party promises every minority group is now the most important and can have whatever they want. The individual groups goals clash with one another.
Poor want their gibs, but the uncontrolled "migration" takes all the jobs, welfare, and other resources.
Accommodate drug use and the rich liberals get to deal with feces and used needles in their streets and at their Starbucks.
Promote multi-genderism and liberals daughters are now being beaten out for athletic scholarships by former boys who now identify as women.
