Although I will stand by my assertion that the bail is excessive if you look at my other posts I make it clear that I believe that their offenses are very serious because they endanger the public.
I don't know what the amount should be but let me make it clear - it should be high enough so that these union thugs think 100 times before they do this agin.
I really think we are on the same wavelength here.
We *are* and I also wanted to make the point clear how I feel about the bail and why. None of the other accused suspects that were used for comparison have deep pockets paying their way out, that I know of.
Anyway, the janitors' stunts have gotten them another sit-down (at the table!) to negotiate with the companies, so maybe it will end soon.

Ummm....
"Bail" is NOT a fine -- it is NOT punishment.
Bail is a refundable deposit which is sufficient to ensure that people who are set free pending adjudication will appear at trial.
Thus, bail has very little to do with the crime, and very much to do with factors such as ties to the community and ability/demonstrated willingness to flee the jurisdiction.
Whether or not I agree with their cause or their tactics, the bail, as set, seems reasonable for out-of-town professional demonstrators....
