What in the actual hell???
quote:

Joshua Cox, Cantrell’s Director of Strategic Initiatives, is founder of the New Orleans Freedom Fund, an organization that pays the full cash bail of arrested suspects who can’t afford to pay for their own release.


quote:

New Orleans’ pilot programs have led to bail amounts for felony suspects as low as $200, $100, even $50, five or more times lower than traditional bail amounts.


So now while they’re out on bond they just roam around the city like feral animals killing and pillaging?

quote:

“When you look at our jail population, it is going down without any appreciable increase in our crime rate,” Bunton said.



quote:

That hasn't stopped some individual cases from getting sharp criticism, like that of robbery suspect Gino McDowell, released after posting a $25,000 bond, only to get re-arrested after police say he returned to the victim's store and threaten to kill him. Bail was set after that second arrest at only $200.


quote:

Aggravated assault suspect Daniel Bonney had a $5,000 bail for aggravated assault reduced to $1. And even at that token amount, Bonney didn’t have to pay. The Freedom Fund paid it for him, records show.

This thread isn't about you.

It's about idiots bonding other idiots out of jail.

Wait...maybe it is about you. Carry on.

Even if I was one of these whackos paying to bail out violent criminals, I think just out of the principle of the matter I would make this dude pay his own one dollar.

Old news. This has been going on since she has been in office. Obviously nobody in Nola cares enough to stop it.

I will say it once again. This is part of "Restorative Justice" as funded and promoted by George Soros.

It is happening all over the country and is upending our justice system. This and the "we aren't prosecuting property crimes under $750" are a big problem.

I don't believe in punitive bond but Judges need to react to this initiative by getting serious about bond hearings and holding dangerous criminal with no bond. But that involves work and judges aren't real huge on that.

This is true, I have a buddy who runs a bail bonds business in new orleans, He had to branch out after this.

He says its much worse than what you are hearing about.

This is happening in Dem run cities all over the country. NOLA isn't the only one.

Gotta keep the law-abiding populace on their toes, you know.

I’m fully on board with restructuring how we handle drug crimes. Property crime? Make it tougher in exchange for the empty drug offender cells. Theft of private property absolutely undermines civil society.
