So, he got to turn himself in at his convenience, (instead of a swat team invading his home in the wee hours for a process crime, then making a gag rule to prevent him from speaking out, like they did to Roger Stone). Got it.

“If true, the noose conjures up [the] greatest evil in this country”...

Not likely Judge. The abortion holocaust continues unabated at 65 million and counting.

A noose is almost comical at this point compared to forceps and pliers.

Not by a longshot, judge.

I have a hunch the Rats want this case to go away as quickly and quietly as possible and the less commotion the better for them.

Someone sure got to Kamala and Cory in a hurry after they mouthed off and told them to cool it.

He has to PAY 10K not just post it. He better hope he can cover the 100k without a bail bond to avoid the 10k payment for the bond service.

You mean he doesn't get the 10K back when he shows up for trial? He loses it?

I've always wondered about that.

An excellent point. The cop was talking about the damage done to the homosexual and black communities.

Nothing about all the damage done to MAGA and the rest of us.

Screw ‘em.

The noose and lynchings were tools of the organized Dem/KKK terror campaign to keep blacks down, keep blacks from voting and to keep Dems in charge of the South.

I would never accost a person, any person, without provocation. He implied I would, for no other reason than a person is black or gay. He lies. He hates. He divides. He is a perfect representative of the rabid left.

That is exactly what our universities are teaching a generation of our kids. That you can't make it in America unless you're white and therefore your calling is to destroy the white race by whatever means possible.

It's sickening.

The one thing I will say about the Democrats, is that they have a network in place to get the message out to all their people.

They come up with one phrase at 5:00am and everyone throughout the day uses that same phrase.

The next day they do it again.

Maybe, depending on the time line. Laws are rarely retroactive.

“’...the noose conjures up [the] greatest evil in this country,’ Cook County Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. told Smollett.”

Bizarro World. That’s like the situation in Virginia where blackface is worse than murdering small children.

And lynchings were the greatest evil in this country when abortion clinics are busy every single day?

Everything is up-side down.

Talking Points. Rush runs audio montages of all the major networks using the same phrases on the same day...especially when HE is the topic. ;)

Yup. That's how it works. Bail bond is basically a tax on everyone without large amounts of ready cash. In his case, he'd pay a bondsman $10k cash, and the bondsman will put up $100,000 to the court. If he doesn't show up in court, the bondsman will lose the $100k. If he does, the bondsman gets the $100k back, and also gets to keep the $10k. The bond fee is a part of the process to make sure even the innocent are punished by the legal system once you get caught up in it.

So a noose is worse than the killing of 60 million babies to this clearly leftist judge.

That’s right, you have to pay the bondsman 10% and then they will post the bond and spring you out. The 10% is the fee and is not refundable. If they don’t like that then they can just sit in jail and wait for trial.

In this case a 100k bond will cost you a 10k nonrefundable fee. If the judge set the bail at 1 million then he would have to pay 100k fee. Bail bonds is a very lucrative business.
