Why are the Jan 6th terrorists being allowed to bail out after being arrested?


Are there any criminal defense attorneys here who can answer this?
They are clearly a danger to society. These are not innocent bystanders who were " caught up in the moment". They're criminals who intentionally attacked the United States of America.

Hundreds of people--most of them who didn't do squat--have been sitting in jail for months and the primitive believes that they ought to be left there to rot.

But there are other primitives who are breaking with the pack and support due process for the protesters--and some primitives going so far as to point out what a sham the whole investigation has been.

5. Probably because most are being charged

with misdemeanors and have no priors.

17. What does the Constitution say about treason/insurrection?

18. Are those the charges?

Most I’ve seen have been misdemeanors which explains the bail

22. Name one defendant that's been charged with treason/insurrection?

The majority of the charges have been misdemeanors, not treason/insurrection, ergo, these defendants are entitled to have bail set or released on own recognizant with special conditions.

There isn't just one party pooper mocking the "insurrection" inquisition, there're several primitives who're probably getting alerted on.

Systematic or random denial of bail or excessive bail are forbidden by the 8th Amendment. And even some DU-folk "get" that denial of bail is way disproportionate to misdemeanor charges.

At least a few of our Senators are asking appropriate questions:

But, as usual, the DUpipo are being willfully ignorant.

8. They aren't black for the most part. So obviously MUCH safer in their communities.




Because the congress critters themselves said, "Oh they look like people we know!" Even as they tear apart the building and smear feces on the walls while screaming KILL PENCE.


Versus scary black people or BLM folk who (supposedly) support looting and such even when peacefully, prayerfully protesting the murder of a fellow human being. WHO obviously need to be pepper sprayed and shot with rubber bullets instead of just ASKED to please vacate this space temporarily.

27. If these guys were brown skinned and or Muslim the expectations wouldn't be able to bail out

... of jail.

Come on people

32. Perhaps, but more likely

is that they would be granted bail, but be unable to pay it.

The problem in our system is not that too many white people are granted it and too many Black and Brown aren't, but that bail terms tend to be too onerous for many Black and Brown people to meet.

Actually, DUmmies, if they were black or brown, Kamala Harris would have raised funds to bail them out.

Man, the worldview of many DUers is just so askew.

They actually think that otherwise ordinary people suspected of insurrection would be given special treatment? They must have missed where a protestor got shot and police used illegal strikes to the head.

I thought the left was against the concept of bail and just letting people loose on their good word and promise to show up in court.   Has that changed?
