Charges like those and the bond was a paltry $1,000?

Our system is an inconsistent hodgepodge, apparently.

At the risk of getting dinged for 'spamming'...

Here in NYC, they sometimes release defendants outright with those sorts of charges.

Even in the UK, those charges are a certain bail refusal.

It is staggering to me.
I mean *really* fruitloop territory.
No suggestion it was a medical emergency situation and yet he is released on bail of $1,000, or have I missed something?

It wouldn't happen here in Australia.
You Amerians are a *very* odd bunch.

Why would you be?

New York State passed a law getting rid of most cash bail because it was believed to be racist. After a backlash due to highly publicized incidents of released people committing crimes reforms were made to the reforms law. Still the law is believed to be a major or the major factor in the in the Republican Red wave here on Long Island. The Republicans made it their main issue.

Daryl Brooks has been charged in a non-terror related attack on the crowd in Christmas parade in Waukesha. Around Christmas time there is a heightened vigilance for terror attacks so its understandable the police wanted to investigate the terror link first.

Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson read out the names at a press conference on Monday afternoon: Virginia Sorenson, 79; LeAnna Owen, 71; Tamara Durand, 52; Jane Kulich, 52; and Wilhelm Hospel, 81. Mr Thompson also confirmed the injury toll had risen from 40 to 48.

Children’s Wisconsin, a paediatric hospital in Milwaukee, confirmed it treated 18 minor victims, ranging in age from three to 16 years old. Six of the child victims required surgery and 10 remained in the intensive care unit as of midday Monday.

While the attack is not linked with terror or the Rittenhouse trial (which coincidentally is in the same state and just wrapped up) some in the republican party (not surprisingly made this into a political issue).

Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the blame for the Waukesha killings lies with the mainstream media, Democrats, and Joe Biden, bizarrely claiming they incited the murder of five people Sunday night’s parade in the town.

The Georgia representative tweeted: “After the widespread hateful reaction to the Rittenhouse verdict & dog whistle calls to radical BLM ground troops by the mainstream media, Democrats, and even the President of the United States, we must ask if they incited the mass murder in Waukesha, WI.”

Here's the ugly opportunistic wench

You disagree with her, so she's ugly and a prostitute?

where did I say "prostitute"? It can also mean a woman from the middle ages

She and Boebert speak like they want society to return to the middle ages which is why I called her a wench.

Welcome to the world of partisan politics. Nothing is out of bounds, the opposition must me demonized and slammed in any way possible.

It may have escaped you but Marjorie is the one making this tragedy into a political issue

I came to this thread to say how sad it was, and to offer condolences.

Unbelievable.

I have no idea who Marjorie is and it doesn't matter, cyberdad.

If she's wrong, then say she's wrong idealogically. You don't need to attack her with sexist slander.

Agreed. Sadly, it's a poltical tactic that I've seen for a long time.

I found what she said offensive to the family of the victims

It's true we don't have to attack her with sexual slander-----then we would be going down to the level of Trump-----but Marjorie has some beliefs which border on QAnon beliefs.
