So this is actually a big deal.

[Daldolma]

a) Indefinite detentions are unrelated to bail procedures in US criminal court. You don't get bail agreements in the midst of rendition.

b) His arrest was lawful and reasonable. He is not necessarily entitled to bail while awaiting trial. He was charged with a felony. Being charged with a felony is inconvenient. One should make an attempt to not be charged with a felony.

He got off too easy. If he had done this in Texas, we would have strung his ass up. The man is a domestic terrorist and you are up in arms about him not being allowed to talk to his political party? There is injustice and that is the fact that this git is running around with both legs still working.

[Lexical]

You are right, but what I was alluding to is that he should have never gotten the choice in the first place.

[Lexical]

Okay then, why are you pissed off?

[Daldolma]

He's pissed because one of the conditions of his bail could be interpreted as some kind of infringement upon his freedom of association and/or political belief.

Never mind the fact that a) it requires an affirmative agreement that he has no obligation to accept, b) the court has no obligation to grant him bail at all, and c) release agreements regularly abridge basic civil rights. See: home arrest, tracking bracelets.

[Andrew Jackson]

republican party platform doesnt include firebombs like this terrorist anarchist group does

[Andrew Jackson]

well it does, but just to 'defend' ourselves from smaller foreign nations with no navy or air force halfway around the globe

[Lictor]

So you are upset because you don't understand how granting bail works under our legal system?
