[Windflier]

Judge McElroy is a good little dhimmi, isn’t he?

He ought to be thrown off the bench for this.

For later....

Some legal authority has to step in and reverse this crazy judge's dangerous action.

Judge Jeff McElroy has put his whole community at great risk.

Hope he knows he is responsible for all mayhem and horror resulting from his outrageous release of known, committed terrorists.

For better or worse this is the rule of law if this rule actually exists and has been consistently enforced.

From the article: The judge said it was a very difficult decision to drop the charges but the rule left him with no option.

I think all the disdain heaped on the judge in this post could be unfair though as a gay left-winger he deserves a lot of suspicion. The issue is more likely prosecutorial incompetence. Fortunately, the other two, including the apparent leader, remain in custody because they were charged with additional crimes 5 days ago which means they had better indict them within the next 5 or they will be released also.

Why, it's almost like they WANT another school shooting.

I wonder why that would be?

When does a federal judge come in to deal with terrorists? Is this the Bonney and Clyde era where you can jump state borders to escape criminal charges?

Here is the relevant rule:

5-302. Preliminary examination.
A. Time.
(1) Time limits.
A preliminary examination shall be held within a reasonable time but in any event not later than ten (10) days after the first appearance if the defendant is in
custody and no later than sixty (60) days after the first appearance if the defendant is not in custody.

(2) Extensions.
Upon a showing of good cause, the court may extend the
time limits for holding a preliminary examination for up to sixty (60) days. If the defendant does not consent, the court may extend the time limits in Subparagraph (A)(1) of this rule only upon a showing that extraordinary circumstances exist and justice requires the delay. The time enlargement provisions in Rule 5-104 do not apply to a preliminary examination.

(3) Dismissal without prejudice.
If a preliminary examination is not held within the time limits in this rule, the court shall dismiss the case without prejudice and discharge the defendant.

Notice that dismissal is without prejudice. These charges can be brought again.

NEWS like this, for anyone who cares, and is watching will only secure the election of Republicans can want to go after and cean up the Judiciary banch of government. This ruling is for sure JUDICIAL LEGISLATION from the Bench.

Cops blew it. They didn’t follow the law. Then law protects as well as punishes.

A mental disorder like Same-Sex Attraction Disorder cannot be compartmentalized. It does, and always will, slop over to contaminate the rest of a person’s thinking.

No one who suffers from SSAD should have *any* position of responsibility.
