Right. The question here is whether or not this guy should be given a bond in the first place. Seeing as he didn’t show up for his last hearing, there should have been no bond. Keep him locked up until trial.
Aha! So police were shooting at a car with a black, unarmed, pregnant woman who was not shooting at them! This is more police brutality!!
(Yes, the black part was made up. But it makes a good news story, doesn't it? Sensation, racism, oppression of womyn - what's not to like? Do you think the Washington Post will hire me?)
