The ruling elite doesn’t want to live by the same standards as normal people. They give themselves special privileges.

First he's saying "Let's go" (yeah, sure he did) like he's some sort of badass.

And later, we get this:

“The trauma does not just extend to me,” Sims told the newspaper. “My wife has not slept a full night since this happened. Those traumas are real.”

Cue the Boo Hoo Girl.

How does he think a battered woman feels when her abuser is released with no bond at all? Jerk

“It’s not clear why Sims believes a person should be jailed until trial — away from their families, unable to maintain employment or provide support — while accused of a non-violent crime”

You gotta love CWBChicago.

EVERYONE who backed and signed ANY bill removing bail needs to have bail for ANYONE who committed a crime against them reduced to zero dollars.

Defense attorneys need to state exactly that in bail hearings in cases where their client was involved in a crime with someone who wanted to remove bail requirements.

Defense Attorney to the victim, "Just a reminder that you're making a public statement to this court. Have you ever signed a petition, contributed money to a campaign, worked for, or voted for a program to remove cash bail?"

Victim: "ummm...yes"

Defense Attorney: "Your honor, as per this affirmation, my client needs to be released on their own recognizance."

You want no bail? You live with it and don't subject others to your lunacy.

Hmm maybe he can rethink his virtue signaling. Maybe he can do group therapy with the mayor of Portland?
