Is this guy an idiot? Drunk?
He spends all his time here writing about how bad jail is. Then he wants to end the bail process that would get you OUT of jail?
Idiot.
“Common sense tells us that no one should be forced to pay to be free. This idea is taking root across the political spectrum. Supporters include: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; the Koch brothers; Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.; and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.”

This. This tells me all I need to know about this idea.
Idiots. Idiots everywhere.
He sounds like a liberal lamenting how having more money produces better results, so I bet the endgame is releasing everybody on OR, possibly coupled with astronomically increasing bonds on the wealthy and/or just denying them bail entirely, because, you know, wealthy, or Trump, or something. It’s just not FAIR, don’t ya know.
He actually makes sense. If someone is in for the first time, small crime, why have a big bail? If a multiple offender, then hammer him.
If they start putting rich guys and girls in jail with no bond than maybe there will be prison reform. I think that’s his logic.
They are trying to do away with the requirement of bail.
They want everyone released on their own recognizance.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sort of smells like the old libtard one size fits all solution: If it doesn’t meet my utopian standards, then let’s apply Haitian standards.
a better question is he white?
