The 'ignominy' of being led away in handcuffs......

question:  why the coat in 90 plus degree weather?
bonus question: what song was being butchered in the background?
Time's up tin-eared philistines..

I've absolutely seen bail used as a way to indefinitely detain people and force them to eat criminal charges they'd otherwise fight so I'm not saying some sort of reform wasn't absolutely necessary (and discovery reform was completely necessary, but that hasn't stopped my trusted and above board local DA's office from trying to circumvent that as well by conditioning what they'll offer on whether we waive said speedy discovery)...

But the fact that the guy that tried to freaking STAB Zeldin was out literally within hours on his own recognizance is insane.

Yup.....they're playing (badly) the melody to the lyrics "just call my naaame.....I'll be there..."   

The musical term to indicate slowing down the tempo at song's end is called ritardando or retardando in this case.  It sounded like the last gasps of a deflated balloon (think: Salvation Army Band + quaaludes).......slowly plodding to the finish line...crash...

Bannon appeared today looking like he used a comb on his hair for once - what contempt?   ; )

In other news, NY gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin gets stage rushed by some nut brandishing a weapon of sorts......attacker's rag-dolled to the ground and arrested on felony assault charges......but there's a happy ending to this:  the attacker's now back out on the street just hours later having been released on his own recognizance.

See my comment above. It's absolutely insane to the point that the cynical part of me is worried that this might have been staged. It's just too perfect.

Even if it was, it still drives the point home that bail reform in the State (again, something that was necessary to a certain extent) has gone way, wayyyy too far.

Try this on for size: you're in a gas station holding an infant.  A guy comes in and points a gun at your head.  (pix link below)

Fast forward: you don't show up at the hearing?....all charges are dismissed against the guy who pointed a gun at your head.

Funny you should mention that

I'm really curious to know what kind of America he wants to build. I come from a military family, I like veterans. If I owned a business I would employ the freak out of vets.

I don't understand the logic of trying to make them teachers.
