My prayers are going out to the victims, and people of Waukesha involved in the senseless act that has happened today.

I'd almost rather that they be silent until facts settle out; there has been far too much rushing to judgement among the media, going off half-cocked without facts, agitating, sensationalizing and lying for the ratings. The authorities have him; he will answer for it.Media is mostly silent it seems:

You're talking about the Kyle Rittenhouse arrest and trial aren't you?I'd almost rather that they be silent until facts settle out; there has been far too much rushing to judgement among the media, going off half-cocked without facts, agitating, sensationalizing and lying for the ratings.

Nope...You're talking about the Kyle Rittenhouse arrest and trial aren't you?
Oh my no, I have a much wider net than that. I'm not trying to start anything here left/right or such. I'm speaking across the board about our current media/political discourse.You're talking about the Kyle Rittenhouse arrest and trial aren't you?

"I'd almost rather that they be silent until facts settle out; there has been far too much rushing to judgement among the media, going off half-cocked without facts, agitating, sensationalizing and lying for the ratings. The authorities have him; he will answer for it." This is the post that got the "Laughs" comment from me. When the media (and this forum) commented on the Kyle Rittenhouse situation, there was plenty of rushing to judgment, going half cocked without facts, agitating, sensationalizing and lying for ratings (and "likes") And while I'm not making a legal assessment, the difference Kyle Rittenhouse's case and this one is well, black and white.You need help dude.......
I would point my finger at the Judge who let the dude out on bail when he hasn't been through trial for a previous felony.
He should have been maintained behind bars.
His demonstration of committing multiple felonies while out on bond for another is a clear indication that some new laws need to be put in place to keep these kinds of multiple offenders off the streets and behind bars and away for decent folks.
So Clay, are you serious, in Louisiana, the courts make money off of bail? I'm curious, if the person out on bail shows up in court, how would that work to make the judge/court money off the deal?

4) Judges in Louisiana ROUTINELY limit the Constitutional rights of those "out on bond" who have not been convicted of anything.... to include BARRING them from traveling outside the Parish, State, Country. Barring them from exercising their 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Routinely bar you from consuming ANY alcohol, etc. etc. etc..... the list is long and sometimes VERY creative.

I would expect that some / all of these are expected for an offender out on bail.. His rights may be curtailed, but I'm sure the others in the vicinity / society would welcome the imposed limitations..
1) Yes sir.... In Louisisana, the judges set bail so high usually, that NO ONE can post cash bond, so they HAVE to use a Bail Bond COMPANY/AGENT, who as you likely know charges 10% of the face amount of the bond as a NON-returnable fee.... So, IF you want out, you gotta pay... That money pays the insurance premium on his policy to insure your FULL bond, and the rest is his gross profit margin for running the business....
1a) There is also no guidance to amount as to crime, et al..... Case in point.... 54 year old female with ZERO criminal record, perfect credit, et al.... Charged with simple theft and computer theft..... $40,000 bond. Same Parish.... Man with extensive criminal record, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.... $10,000 bond. Just one example...
2) In Louisiana, the STATE collects THREE (3) PERCENT of the FACE VALUE of the bond as a "fee".... For what I do not know, because they ALSO charge court costs, victims fees, and all kinds of other crap. That 3% funds the courts in that Parish.... BUT it is CLEAR that there is a FINANCIAL incentive to the State AND to the individual judges to set higher bail, so they can up their revenue to run their little kingdoms (court rooms), where they ROUTINELY violate both the Federal and State Constitutions with impunity.
3) Judges in Louisiana ROUTINELY take into consideration ALL KINDS of things OTHER than the risk that you won't appear in setting bail.

Remind me to be very careful the next time I visit Lousiana. (that's a joke in case you didn't catch it).
Seriously messed up legal system. I thought Illinois was bad.

Ummmmm, Ahem. You must be in the legal profession or have gone through the system for that very erudite reply. I'm impressed though I come from a retired medical bent and have no idea of the twist and turns of our legal system. As the English would say of old, "Huzzzzzzaaaaahhh"
