How are these people not sitting in jail awaiting sentencing like people busted for some small drug charge. Bail for traitors should not be an option.
Bail shouldn't exist.
Either you're too dangerous to be free or you're fine. Money shouldn't come into it.
If you're going to run, the 10% to a bondsman is just a fine. So they keep moving bail up, which means normal people that plan to show up have to pay even more that they'll never get back from the bondsman.
The current system makes zero sense, but it makes people a lot of money
America in a nutshell
Absolutely agreed. Bail is a horrible concept that again targets the poor population even more.
He was in jail. But unfortunately the jail officers treated him cruelly and unfairly, by delaying urgent medical treatment. Those officers were held in contempt and the defendant was put under house arrest.

It’s possible this proud boys member is terrified of going back to jail. Which wouldn’t be surprising given that authorities did an awful job of caring for him whilst in custody.
If jail was a fair punishment then a different jail where his rights are respected is a fair punishment now. Grosses me out how made up on the fly our justice system is sometimes.
Can you treat a traitor unfairly?
Yes! Anyone in the custody of the state should be treated with a minimum level of human decency, regardless of their crime.
I agree. I use to have a flawed idea of justice until someone on the internet pointed out to me, we have to make justice appealing. There needs to be hope for understanding and a better way of life otherwise the criminal will probably become a worse human being from the experience or even worse more crimes would end in murder suicides at the thought of going through such a horrible and hopeless future.
They could have moved him to a different facility instead of house arrest.
I agree. He’s specifically charged with assaulting LEO at the Capitol. He needs to be where the watchers are being watched. Does such a place exist?
It exists in the same place it does for everyone else who doesn't do Trump's bidding. This little shit got preferential treatment.
He was and then the COs at the jail fucked it up by not doing the bare minimum. He would still be in jail if the jail staff did their jobs like they are supposed to.
I strongly suspect that they either participated or looked the other way while other officers abused him; not by laziness.
