This is sick. Unfortunately, it does not surprise me one bit, especially in Minneapolis; i.e., "Little Somalia". Whine and crow about some middle aged white folks who entered the Capital on J6, but when it comes to actual violent criminals with no political objective, the left is all for empathy. Of course, it is really not leftist empathy that is driving this sort of thing in large cities around the country. Instead, it is being driven by hateful anti-America ideology.
It used to be that when setting bond for someone accused of a crime there were several things taken into account: are they a flight risk; will they return to court to face the charges; are they a danger to the public; are the sole breadwinner in a family relying upon him or her for support. Now, due to a complete distortion of the logic of bail/bond usage in criminal cases, they have made it about wealth and race. It is now clearly divisive and rooted in Marxism (which is per se hostile to the underpinnings of this nation as evidenced by history, the constitution, the Federal Papers, etc... Why do we allow ANY dogma to influence our society and its laws that are hostile to our way of life? Yes, there is the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. But the Framers never intended our constitution to be a suicide pact. Clearly, the constitution is erected with the ultimate goal of protecting The People from authoritarianism. Yet, here we are, with an authoritarian leftist ideology staring us in the face.
