Tom Steyer
Has Steyer been fitted for his royal robes yet? He has been so diligent in his efforts to destroy American institutions that his only possible motivation - like that of Soros - can be a desire to cap off his career by assuming the kingship and ruling directly ver us benighted peasants. :)
Steyer, among a host of others libtard idiots, is prime living example of hate blinding rationality.......
Collusion with S0r0$ ?
How about taxes should be based on services used, not dollars in your pocket?
Without bail, what is the incentive for a suspect to return for trial?
Without bail, who is going to go looking for said suspect?
Without bail, what is there to prevent a suspect to commit another crime?
How many crimes would a suspect have to commit before they are locked up until trial?
I am continuously amazed at the sheer stupidity of Liberals.
When enlightened Liberals said public defecation was a right not a health risk...my amazement should have stopped there.
But there is no depth to low for Lefty to sink too.
At that point why have police and courts or bother arresting criminals at all ?
Unfortunately here in California, Bail is used as a weapon against those not wealthy in this State, it has nothing to do with wether or not you will show up to court and they do target minorities with excessive bail. God I hate saying that and having to agree with this clown on something, but in this case he actually has an argument worth debating.
How’s this going to affect Chico’s Bail Bonds?
The point of bail is for people to put up cash to guarantee something they’ll give up if they refuse to show up to court.
If Steyer cares that much he’ll just ensure the law returns the entire bail to the defendant if they follow through with their trial.
Of course another course of action would be for the poor to not commit crimes to begin with.
Or perhaps Steyer could work to get laws OFF the books that affect the poor disproportionately? (like over regulations?)
Naah naaah... the criminals should be free to commit as many crimes as they want!
Bail could be done away with if a suspect had family ties or a home address.
The alternative could be ankle monitoring at a half way house in the absence of the above.
This would apply to defendants not charged with murder or rape or a violent assault.
Freedom shouldn’t be a privilege reserved solely for the rich and powerful.
California Gov. Jerry Brown has concerns about the costs such an overhaul would place on countries.
I assume this is a misprint, otherwise, Moonbeam is living up to his name yet again. 8>)
Moonbeam doesn’t care about the cost of the bullet train.
But he’s all of a sudden a fiscal conservative when it comes to the fair treatment of criminal defendants.
In CA, its all about priorities. I would say that $77 they’re thinking of spending on the bullet train would fund a reform of the state’s bail system several times over.
Which is more important? You decide.
I meant $77 billion.
Why not? It is not going to effect him, behind his walled estate.
Keep in mind these are the same people keeping illegal aliens out of the clutches of federal law enforcement.
And they’re worried about bail jumping? LOL
So you’re saying that democrat controlled institutions are tar getting minorities?
I wonder what would happen if the no bail rule resulted in being held in prison until the trial. Sometimes the law of unintended consequences bites hard.
After a prolonged conference held at an undisclosed location Tom and Jerry had a flash of insight to solving all California’s major problems, to wit all laws are declared null and void, except those dealing with racism, hate crimes and other social justice crimes.
See how brilliant these two ‘men’ are?
