This is a thing.

quote:

Katie Schwartzmann of the MacArthur Justice Center said Fallon's ruling means "people who are arrested in Orleans Parish should get a full and fair hearing on their pretrial release."

"In New Orleans we have people in jail for no reason other than that they are poor," she said. "Jailing people just because they are poor makes our city less safe; it destroys families and the fabric of our community."

Its about time we started rounding up the Poors and putting them in concentration camps. The OT has been promoting this for five years now!

If I was homeless and lazy I'd commit crimes too for a free bed and food.

SJW speak for not letting people out on bail for free.

Based on their argument, what's the point of even setting bond? And "being poor" is relative. You can be considered middle class, go to jail, get a $1M bond and not be able to afford it.

Don't commit a fricking crime and this wouldn't even be an issue.

Nah it’s still too easy to sit on the side of Siegen and get all the idiots to give you money for nothing.

She is talking about making bail but instead of just saying that, she is gonna reach for triggering wording

It’s about bond so they haven’t been convicted of anything.

SJWs want no law and order unless it involves a conservative.
