(WFLA) - People are outraged after the suspect in the death of a 74-year-old man who was pushed off a bus was freed on bail, KSNV reported.

Cadesha Bishop, 25, was arraigned Friday and posted bond. She was previously held at the Clark County Detention Center on $100,000 bail.

"I think the bail was set too low. I base it on the violent nature of this offense. This was an unprovoked, unnecessary attack on a senior citizen with a walker," District Attorney Steve Wolfson told the news station.

Bishop made headlines earlier this week after video surfaced which shows her shoving a 74-year-old man out of a bus. He later died from his injuries.

Police said Bishop had been shouting profanities and pushed the man after he told her “to be nicer to the passengers."

"Watching it was horrible for me to see. He was a good friend of mine", said Trevor Taylor who knew the victim for ten years. "Under the circumstances of such a violent act, I would prefer she would be in jail."

Bishop was placed on “high-level” electronic monitoring. Her preliminary hearing is set for May 23.

I hope she meets an untimely accident.

What the...?! Justice?! Poor man.

(article):" Bishop was placed on “high-level” electronic monitoring."

Which means REACTIVE, after the fact, and another possible victim.

I think this is a case where the judge should have denied equal opportunity to a pushy broad.

This monster should never see daylight again.

Depressing that If I was to say what I think I would be banned here.
Depressing.

I don't understand this. She is clearly a threat to the people around her. All of us --- not least her own children--- have a right to be protected from her violent aggression.

She needs to be separated from society until her trial.

The victim is in his grave, and the killer gets to go home.

Black on non-black is basically the definition of interracial crime in the USA.

You got it!!!

What happens in a few months if Barr decides that the instigators of the Russia hoax and spying on the Trump campaign deserve prosecution and that Obama was the ringleader of it all?

Does he propose indicting Obama, possibly touching off violence 10 times worse than the Rodney King riots, and maybe resulting in assassination attempts against himself and/or the President?

Or does he make Obama an "unindicted co-conspirator" (like Nixon was), explaining that it would be too divisive for the country to prosecute the first black President?

Or does he pretend that there is no evidence linking Obama to the conspiracy?

she should be under the jail

It depends upon whether he is an Institutionalist or a Constitutionalist; I opine the former.

It is not his job to second guess the law with respect to potential societal consequences. He is neither a judge nor a jury.

We either have rule of law or not. (I say we do not, and that everything in the District of Corruption is brokered.)

We either have rule of law or not

Clearly we do not have rule-of-law. We have "pretense-of-law". It always works against us.

Time for us to play by the real-rules. Our opponents aren't going to like that.

Poor guy never had a chance.

Justice for "Just us"

The victim is invited to come to court and meet the guy who stole his property or burglarized his house so he can say he’s sorry. If he does this, he gets to avoid prison.

"Mr White, this is Felonious Monk, the teen who broke into your house."
"Hey, bro, whazzup!"
"You up the river I hope."
"Hey, chill, homey. Hey, I just wanna say, "my bad," for breaking into your crib."
"That hardly seems adequate."
"Hey, like, I'm just getting started.  Sorry for doing your daughter."
"What?"
"... and spittin' in your work thermos..."
"What?"
"... and putting a key logger on your computer..."
"What?"
"... and logging into your bank to get all your money and spend it on a meth party for my boys."
"Why is this thug only being charged with trespassing?"
"It's part of the plea deal, Mr White.  And now he's free to go."
"Is this what passes for justice in New York City?"
"Yes, it is Mr White.  New York, New York is a hell of a town."
"It sure is."
"... oh, and I be takin' a piss without liftin' the seat, too."

Trevor’s statement is much more reserved, than mine would be.

Totally agree.
