A felon in possession of a firearm should ALWAYS have a very high bond.
There is a fund in Minneapolis that was filled during the bail flood form Hollywood and liberal elites. It pays all bonds for all felons NO ****ING QUESTIONS ASKED.
I wouldn't be surprised if we have that same fund in Houston. NO ONE ASKS WHERE THE BOND FUNDS COMES FROM. This ****ing scumbag was bailed out for felony firearms possession. Why isn't anyone asking why!?!? Because it is a part of the god damned plan.
Gun control nutjobs are also paying felony bonds.
**** all these *******s.
They don't need a fund for it in Houston because our court systems are not collecting from the bond companies for revoked bonds. The bond companies are charging 1-2% of the bond for a fee instead of the normal 10% or more. The bond companies can afford to take on even the really high or risky bonds for repeat offenders because they know for certain they will never be asked to actually pay that amount to the city/county if the felon skips out or violates the bond.
So for the rare repeat felon who gets a $25,000 bond, he can expect to get out of jail for about $250-$500. And with our criminal courts still pretending that the Covid cooties are something to be worried about and not holding felony trials, they can be assured that once they are out, it will be many years before they are asked to appear in a courtroom. With the consequences so far removed from them being caught, there is no deterrent effect whatsoever and it is no wonder they are back committing more crimes almost right away.
Crime isn't going down in Houston, people are just learning to accept it and expect that the police will do nothing about it, so they don't report it anymore.
