The suspect in a South Carolina mall shooting in which nine people were wounded has been released under house arrest and ordered to wear an ankle monitor after a judge set a $25,000 surety bond.

The suspect, Jewayne Price, is also barred from contacting any of the victims, Columbia police said on Twitter.

Price will be allowed to travel from his home to work while he is under house arrest.

Neither Price nor his attorney could immediately be reached for comment.

Initially three people were suspected and detained, but two were released, officials said.

Well, I guess this is either privilege or the fact that the justice system is just terrible.

12. He is a man of color

14. Well, it seems even more concerning since he was involved in another murder.

"Price is being represented by State Rep. Todd Rutherford, who said his client was in the mall and was shot at by people who had previously made threats against him on Facebook. Rutherford also stated in a briefing after the bond hearing that he has fully cooperated with police and has been charged with unlawful carry of a pistol because he does not have a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) but owns the gun legally and it is registered to him.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott released a statement on Sunday that stated that Price was charged by RCSD with accessory after the fact in connection with the murder of 17-year-old Amon Rice. The statement said in part:"

2. I guess we'd need to see the evidence the judge saw.

How conclusive is it that this is the offender?

6. Black guy charged with illegal possession of a gun.

$25k is pretty steep for a gun possession charge for someone claiming self-defense. Seems the “stand your ground,” “good guy with a gun” crowd would be giving him the Kyle Rittenhouse treatment. Or, nah.

7. 'weapon in question is legally registered to Price, but did not have a concealed weapon permit in

his clothing in public.' I did not read he could not have a gun, But I do know that too many people carry guns and get upset, provoked. careless or whatever and then out come the guns. Just to many weapons are too conveniently around.



The defendant has cooperated with police, he said. The weapon in question is legally registered to Price, but the attorney said he did not have a concealed weapon permit for carrying it in his clothing in public.

8. Boy when Ted Cruz gets a hold of this Judge he'll be sorry!

[Scrivener7]

9. Jeez. You'd think all he did was participate in a coup, they way he's being handled with kid gloves.

[3Hotdogs]

10. He's not allowed to go to the Mall.

Now that's gotta hurt.

[Jetheels]

11. They should hand out guns at mall entrances,

just to make sure everyone is armed and ready to be the good guy with a gun./s

[lark]

13. WTF is wrong with these right wing asshole judges?

SMH

[lagomorph777]

15. WTF?!?!

How does this shit happen?

[sarisataka]

16. Privilege...

Yup, that must be it.

[AZLD4Candidate]

18. I haven't kept up with the story

There are too many of these to keep up with.

[58Sunliner]

17. The guy with the same name was arrested at 18 for another shooting crime. WTF?

He should be rotting in jail.

[Kaleva]

19. He couldn't have had a gun legally registered to him if he had been convicted

20. 3 shooters?

I see they have arrested the shooter who is not this guy? Don't know how it fits together.
