Backlash brewing against bail reform
2021-12-01
[KUOW.ORG] Darrell Brooks, Jr., has become the poster boy for the backlash against bail reform.

The 39-year-old faces at least six counts of homicide for allegedly driving his maroon Ford Escape through a holiday parade in Waukesha, Wisc. on Sunday evening — only two weeks after being released on $1,000 cash bail for another act of vehicular aggression, in which he allegedly ran over a woman during an altercation.

"FREED DEMON" is how the tabloid New York Post cover headline put it on Tuesday, along with an editorial titled "Deadly result of progressive arrogance on bail reform."

#9  constitutionally-guaranteed right

So-called. Foolish peasant! 1619 Project and CRT tells us that sheet of paper you call a "constitution" was just an evil ruse, a cover for white supremacy and slavery

#8  released on $500 bail when the overbooked court system wasn't able to comply with his constitutionally-guaranteed right to a speedy trial.

Somebody should tell the January 6 defendants about that alleged 'right'!

#7  State media's favorite wedded words:
conservative + backlash
Republicans + pounce

Plus the eternal couplings:
"Gun Violence," "SUV Violence," "white supremacy," "voter suppression," "conspiracy theory," hate crime" blah blah

#6  "Backlash" is a code-word for anti-communist / anti-muzz / anti-jogger/motorist white supremacist reactionary hate.

#4  Checkout the actual Court Commissioner who approved the $1000 bail for this POS. One guess on what links them....

#3  I was stunned AOC had something on bail reform the day after the Waukesha attack when everyone knew the murderer got out on super-light bail.

#2  But in a statement on Monday, Chisholm called the $1,000 cash bail "inappropriately low," and promised an internal review of why his staff asked for that amount.

"It should've been $0 based on the color of his skin, not the content of his character"

#1  Bodies starting to pile up, huh?

Our founders understood the ugly reality of human nature. The Marxists believe in fairy tales of human behavior.
