We throw citizens in jail who are charged with a crime before their case even goes to trial. Where's the outrage?

Temporarily confiscating one's property seems to pale in comparison.

But we do not deny them their voting rights or muzzle them or not allow them to write letters to the editor or not give them culturally appropriate meals, etc, etc, etc....

"But we do not deny them their voting rights or muzzle them ..."

Nope. We just take away their freedom, that's all, and throw them in jail. Without a trial. I'll bet you even agree with that.

Yet here we have a story where the use of one's property is suspended and you go ballistic.
