"My point is that Nifong is a vengeful little prick."

Because he asked the judge to set an unreasonably hight amount for bail?

Back to square 1 ...

Look, if you just want to say "I don't have any non-question begging reasons for thinking bail is too high" then you don't have to give a decent answer if someone asks you "Why?" If it's just something you believe for no independently good reason, just say so.

The irrationally high bail is a sympton, not a cause, of Nifong being a vengeful little prick.

Look, if you just want to say, "I have no information and no experience with such matters as establishment of bail, and simply like to be argumentative for its own non-substantive sake and because I have nothing better to do at the moment, and since I have the type of challenged personality that causes me to get gratification from participating in such noisome gambits and harrassment of other posters, then just say so.

The reason given by Nifng for high bail was flight risk. If you believe that the duke students are a flight risk, then your opinion make sense. If they are not, then you are wrong. Nobody thinks they are going to run. so. . .

she gave a reason. a murderer in the same county was freed on $50k bail, rich young white boys bail was set at $400k. THAT is the point. have you followed the case at all?
