have been asking on here.. why the low level charges!!

And, the part about how it's determined if they're released or not is very interesting!

I think if I were one of those Insurrectionists I wouldn't be very comforted by GK's information here.

TY, Yo! I really like Glenn Kirshner..

Thanks yomama! I bookmarked for time and WiFi

He says he does dailies. Gonna follow.

Also, I am memorizing the lines from Joe’s Inaugural speech that Glenn recites. That was the best part of the speech imho.

Thanks again!

But if I were a judge, faced with someone accused of kicking down the doors of the Capitol building, assaulting numerous police officers, erecting a gallows and calling for the deaths of congressional and senate and even the Vice President, I might have suspicions that these people may have a problem respecting the terms and conditions of bail. Especially since we know at least one of them used her non-custodial bail, to go home and destroy evidence, while encouraging others to do the same.
It’s also a fair bet, that if these standards were applied to all arrestees, Rikers would be empty

Glenn does a good explaination of why and it has nothing to do with race. Though he does acknowlege that a person of color probably would be treated more harshly.
