1. I wonder who paid it? Mom doesn't look like she would have the money.

3. The RNC?

15. With absolutely no evidence...

I say that it's unlikely that the RNC would be so blatant, being a bunch of spineless weasels. My guess it that some deep pocketed individual(s), coughed up the dosh. Perhaps Rebekah Mercer, one of the main funders of Parler, and daughter of Robert Mercer, founder of Cambridge Analytica put up the two million. She might be looking for a new hero for her right wing bulletin board/fever swamp

2. See, here's why one should prefer 'being captured' over 'being extra-judicially executed by

vigilante cops' in the vast majority of circumstances.

I wonder if he's allowed to go to Burger King under the conditions for his release?

4. So when someone else pays your bail $$$

are you required to report that on your taxes, is it taxable income?....asking for a friend.

[Groundhawg]

8. no. the money is always returned when the accused shows up in court.

[sdfernando]

11. IF the accused shows up in court.

I know it it moot but if they don't show and the $$ goes to the court, then what?

[llashram]

5. Really? Not surprised

this murderer gets to walk around free.

[roamer65]

6. If he runs what would the bounty be on him?

[Chainfire]

7. The right wingnuts consider him a hero for standing to protect his "right" to kill

I suspect that that is where the bulk of the money came from. Wannabe murderers all over the country ponied up to set the poor boy free.

10. He is a hero to the right wingers for killing two liberals.

He is a hero to the right wingers for killing two liberals.

Law and order is a neat slogan but that's all it is.

[marble falls]

9. I hope he fucks up (without hurting anyone else) and forfeits his bond.

[2naSalit]

13. +1

[hoosierspud]

12. Does he have to stay in Wisconsin

Or can he go home to Illinois?

[BlueIdaho]

14. So who paid this little shit's bail? nt.

[riverwalker]

16. The My Pillow guy paid the money

18. What could possibly go wrong?

[Progressive Jones]

19. LOL !!! His lawyer referred to Rittenhose as "a political prisoner".

He's a low life murderer. He is not a fucking hero.

[generalbetrayus]

20. I didn't realize Ricky Schroder was a right wingnut until I read this story.

Is Scott Baio too cheap to contribute? He's not poor.
