      Illinois does it right. No bail. Either you are released pending trial, or you see a judge where you may be held pending trial.

      New York State has bail. Why this guy was released without even having to post bail is beyond me.

            I’ve recently been finding that lemmy isn’t much better than reddit.

            It almost feels like a concerted effort to make this website shitty by injecting Trump defenders and fake leftists. Shit is fucking weird.

            Do you know the details of this particular case? Or are you just basing this on a headline you read?

            In this climate of disappearing people who disagree with you, and targeting political opponents, I’m not sure I’m comfortable with locking everyone up without due process.

            Not saying it’s the case, at all, but if you wanted to take someone down, planting cp on their computer is a sure fire way to do it. Particularly because of (understandable) knee jerk reactions like yours.

              Woooosh. Yes, they’re basing their dad joke on the headline and it’s enought for the joke to work well.

          of R judges have just been releasing violent repeat offenders to stir the pot.

          This really confirms that the judiciary is just another branch of the political parties.
