Bail for violent offenders and inevitable community harm

[I_UndergroundPanther]

12. My experince

With a result of excusing
violent criminal on bail and manipulating the justice system and mental health courts

I would rather see bail for only non- violent offenders.
Or misdemeanors.

Because
I knew a guy who got a wrist slap for robbing a bank. He got mental health court. So he was put at a day program I was attending.

I listened to him talk. I pretended to be like him.
I listened to him brag and he gave me useful details of his crime. Like where he threw his weapon when he lied to the cops he didnt have a gun.

He had a swastika tattoo on his forehead and other tattoos with racist and jail type stuff.

Almost as soon as he arrived he tried to get other people at program to hate gays,go along with him with his racist criminal bullshit.

I warned the staff of what he was up to. They ignored me.

One day he brought his buddies in who were not clients into program and they started bothering me and the gblt people in the program,and since staff was in denial..

I had to do something when he began to bully gays and black people

I couldn't just stand there and let it happen. So I walked up to the table he and his buddies were sitting at and I told them you try to hurt any one here I'll be sure to make your time here intolerable,asshole.

Same for these buddies of yours who arent part of this program. I said it really loud so staff would get off thier asses and
would do something like come out of thier damn offices..
Later the criminals buddies were told to leave and the program Staff had to call the police to get his asshole friends to leave.

Meanwhile a girl I was freinds with who was 18 years old started drawing racist shit for this asshole,telling me she was doing it for his gang newsletter.
She never drew shit like that before asshole got into the program. And she was a good artist.

Then one day when I wasen't there this criminal racist asshole and his buddies abducted the girl drawing racist shit for them. Took her right before program ended apparently,when it was most likely wouldn't be caught. They manipulated the hell out of her.

After a few days she escaped and ended up on a psych unit
for around 3 weeks.
Who knows what happened to her .

I warned the staff the criminal was manipulating people and it made program unsafe.

But did they listen? After it was too late and after harm was done they did.

Mental health court like bail should only be for non violent offenders.

Period.
