I get your point, but in America, he is still innocent until proven guilty.

Then, by that reasoning, he should be let go and be given back his weapons. Why hold him? He's innocent until blah, blah. Shouldn't we wait for a court hearing to determine if he's guilty and then take his weapons? Are they holding an innocent man? Why?

The whole thing is legal crap. That's why unborn babies are 'fetuses' and homosexuals are "gay" and etc., etc., ad nauseum.

I say he's a guilty ba$tard. Maybe the courts will later disagree, but I cannot fathom why an "innocent" man is being incarcerated.

He is being held because he is accused of a very serious crime. He is suspected of committing a horrific act, and is deemed by a judge to be a danger to society. He can be held until he has his day in court. You don’t have to be convicted to be held.

Look, we all know the bastard did it. He will either get life in prison, life in a mental institution, or the death penalty. He never walk the streets again. But we must honor the legal process. It is a guarantor of liberty.
