No, I think he should be held without bail, and the law should reflect that.

More population, more murders, go figure....tough for Loving county to have 100 murders in a year.

Murder RATE! It's rate we're looking at. While the article starts with totals, it also shows how the murder rate would go down if it wasn't for these poorly run areas.

Remember how NY had a major crime drop when Rudy got firm policing standards into place? That's what we're looking at here. Lax policies from liberal mayors and DAs that allow more and more of this to happen because criminals know there are no real consequences, nor enough police to stop them. Rudy may have lost his damn mind with all the Kraken nonsense but he was right on that one

We need to deal with the blue counties in Texas before we TEXIT

I'm more than fine with that too. Sounds like they're trying to change it. But if someone goes and holds a store up at gun point tomorrow, AND the law hasn't been updated yet, what do you think the judge should do?

Behavioral sink is real.

SJR44 is literally going through in Texas right now because letting out violent offenders is a state issue. Current Texas law says you have to be offered bail unless it is a capital case.

Now do the J6 "violent offenders" that were never given bail, sentenced to lengthy prison sentences.

Why were many of these cities safer just years ago? NYC was safe for decades. What happened?

Demographics have anything to do with it? Assuming your answer will be "no", but just curious.

Liberal judges taking a criminal friendly approach is obviously fuel to the fire, but places with more of a certain demographic gonna be far more dangerous no?

So people think that murderers care about politics, LOL. They don't.. But some right wing source decided they do and try to paint it into Dem vs Rep. Now who's trying to divide the country again??

Ah, that's it.

A groundbreaking study by John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, revealed that "1% of counties have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders" and "2% of counties contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders."

Straying a bit from the topic at hand, why hold our judges to that standard if we're not going to do the same with our politicians?
