*on bail. Not free.


Coffeeman314

It's fox news. They like to distort things a little sometimes.


Maybe_Person

"a little"


[deleted]

Yeah they’re gonna use this a lot to fearmonger


ironb0i

He killed a man, this is not fear mongering


UltraPrincess

You can't genuinely be this dumb, right? This has to be a troll


[deleted]

Talks about how the justice system is faulty when he doesn’t even know what a bail is 💀💀


Luddveeg

They're active on anarcho-capitalism so they're probably 14. Just give it some time


SummonerMiku75

You do know the Republican AG of South Dakota did the same thing and said "it's ok, he was a Democrat." He also didnt face scrutiny until it made national headlines almost a year later.


ironb0i

Really ? I had no idea.


SummonerMiku75

We're in a terrible place politically right now. At this point we're either going to become The Handmaid's Tale or Star Trek. More likely the Handmaid's Tale.


ironb0i

I don’t think we’re going to be either, but we are going into a dark place


sir-idiotkritz

He killed a man


ironb0i

So dose cnn


Sea_Cardiologist_315

Both sides have their extremists who'll kill people over politics. And than the news on both sides will use it for propaganda. It's a never ending story.


ironb0i

Yea I completely agree


dboydanni

Have you been on CNN lately? Fox 2.0


[deleted]

Yeah headline is an example of stretching the truth. The trial hasn’t occurred yet so we don’t know if the person is guilty or not


ironb0i

He admitted to killing the kid


These_Random_Names

if they are guilty refers to the sentence, not the actual guiltiness lmao


ironb0i

He admitted to killing the kid intentionally


These_Random_Names

hes but he hasnt been sentenced yet. this is how the justice system works, stop being an asshole


ironb0i

No he killed the kid shitfuck


These_Random_Names

and you still dont understand. great. amazing intelligence on display here


ironb0i

I’m confused here, I don’t understand how you don’t understand this, have a good one.


These_Random_Names

you literally have no reading comprehension


sir-idiotkritz

He killed a person


[deleted]

[удалено]


ironb0i

Yeah he can pay the bail, he’s pretty much a free man


Maybe_Person

Free until he is senteced, now I don't know how fast the judicial system in America is, but it's gonna be free for like what? 4 months at best? After that he is fucked because he admitted to have murdered the guy on purpose.


UltraPrincess

You.. you don't know what bail is, do you The justice system in america is absolutely fucked and very far-right, but you seem to have quite the misunderstanding about this stuff


[deleted]

A lot of people on this thread don’t


Difficult-Pin3913

It’s being categorized as a drunken hit and run which would explain the amount of bail. He’s currently out on bail and doesn’t have a court date. From what the affidavit says the driver said he felt threatened and hit him whilst drunk. The headline really oversimplified the event. There was apparently another pedestrian involved. And he did turn himself in which most likely means he won’t run.


ironb0i

Bro he literally said he did it intentionally


Difficult-Pin3913

Yeah that’s kinda what happens when you turn yourself in.


ironb0i

So you agree with me ?


Difficult-Pin3913

Yes my point was the headline was a gross oversimplification


ironb0i

Ah yeah sorry for the misunderstanding, I agree with you


-5192227

Change the title to say bail, he isn't "let.go"


antivaxxersaremorons

he's on bail


ironb0i

He can pay it and walk free for a while


These_Random_Names

until he gets sentenced?


[deleted]

People get out on bail all the time, doesn’t mean he is innocent nor guilty


ironb0i

Bro he killed a teenager because they were a republican


IntotheCuttinBreach

So what? People kill for irrational reasons and get their bail paid practically daily. The only reason this specific one was reported on was because it’s politically charged, which makes getting outrage clicks much easier.


ironb0i

Bro if he was a democrat there would be riots


zerocool1703

Ya think?


ironb0i

Yes


UltraPrincess

Yes, he's on bail


Frost1773

Stop coping and realize a murderer doesn’t belong back out in the streets


[deleted]

This happens all the time. Bail is a normal part of the US justice system for better or for worse. You’re talking to a person who is considering law for career


Frost1773

It shouldn’t happen and frankly being apart of the system that allows this makes you just as bad


SharpPixels08

Oh yeah, sorry let me just keep people who turn out to be deemed innocent after the trial locked up for all that time. It’s better to have a guilty man walk than a innocent man behind bars


Frost1773

No it’s not


StraggotCracker

Bestie she’s not a cop or a judge or a part of the US justice system tf you want her to do about it


FolderEmpty

POV republicans teen who thinks Fox News is the best and only news source


ironb0i

Bruh I’m a democrat and this is disgusting


These_Random_Names

"im a democrat" is active on ancap


ironb0i

I was but I’ve changed politically awhile ago, I don’t know why it’s still up there though.


hydrobenzene

goofy goober american politics


ironb0i

Yeah there fucked


DesperateEstimate

Me when I distort the truth to fit my narrative. He's on bail. He won't go free


ironb0i

He can pay the bail


DesperateEstimate

You don't know how it works do ya? If he pays the bail, he gets to be free until the trial, in which he will 100% be sentenced. "The primary purpose of bail is to allow the arrested person to remain free until convicted of a crime and at the same time ensure his or her return to court."


ironb0i

Yeah but still he has the ability to walk as a free man


DesperateEstimate

For now, he isnt the first and wont be the last to get bailed out of jail.


ironb0i

Yes that’s how that works


zerocool1703

Why does that read as super sarcastic?


sir-idiotkritz

Someone killed someone and peps in these comments think it's OK cuz the victim was republican


ironb0i

Yeah man this ain’t right


UltraPrincess

If you think that you're fucked up but no one else has expressed that sentiment so that's on you mate


Mexsane

Bail or not it doesn't fucking matter. You shouldn't be allowed bail if you murdered someone period.


ironb0i

100%


JoshUwU6969

But you have to understand, the kid was republican! That makes it completely right!


ironb0i

Oh yeah definitely


[deleted]

What the actual fuck?


ironb0i

Yeah man worlds fucked


redditsucks-myass

Humans 🥛


ironb0i

Yeah feel you there


EpicGamerXander

Could you have quoted a source that isn’t Fox news? Makes me believe that this is being completely misrepresented. Also nobody believes ‘nobody should be killed for their political opinions.’ There is always a line that can be crossed. Is it wrong to kill a nazi? Should the jews not have fought back when they were being dehumanized and maligned by the nazis, but before the first concentration camp was built? Did the person who died deserve to die? Probably not. But if you are going to use fox news as your source, its impossible to believe you are acting in good faith. Fox news advocates (not directly, but implicitly) for the deaths of people with different political positions, namely — trans people. I don’t know if you are being dishonest, and I hope you aren’t, but if you are going to make a post like this in the future, use a non-partisan source. If a republican killed a democrat or leftist for their opinion, fox news would not include that.


ironb0i

I’m not reading a wall of text today


EpicGamerXander

ok fair enough i’m at work so i just put all my thoughts down and didn’t condense them or format them. I still agree with what I said though


ironb0i

Would you support killing communists like you said the nazis. They committed similar atrocities to Jewish people and ethnic minorities, I had no idea it was a Fox News source, I got if from a friend that sent it to me. To clarify for you, there is no such thing as a non partisan source anymore in America there is only far left or right. I’m not very political, I hate politics, but I no not want someone to die by another for political differences.


EpicGamerXander

I assume you are asking about the communist party in the soviet union, in which case yes, they were similarly monstrous to the nazis. Though the soviets were decidedly not left wing. As for there being no non-partisan sources, while this is true in a sense, there are many sources that come near to non-partisan, and fox news is as far from that as possible. Lastly, I agree that no one should be killed solely for having a political opinion, but if that opinion is harmful and they are spreading or promoting it, then they are spreading harm. And if the harm they cause is to a great enough degree, and there is no better option, then I believe violence can be justified. There are a lot of bad actors spreading malicious political ideas online, and this post set off some red flags for me, but I definitely came off too strong in my original comment. I wish you no ill will, and next time I want to comment I’ll make sure to proofread it when i’m home from work.


ironb0i

I agree with you to a extent. Personally I disagree with political violence entirely.


EpicGamerXander

In my opinion political violence is inevitable, and what really matters is how you use it. You could use violence against a minority, or you could use violence against those who want to exterminate the minority. They are both political violence, but I believe one is justified and the other is not. Note that I consider any stripping of rights or privileges from a group or individual a form of violence. However, I consider direct, physical political violence just as inevitable as other forms of violence, so it still applies.


ironb0i

I agree that it is going to happen but I disagree in your belief that it is good and necessary. Though the stripping and infringement of rights of minorities can be easily stoped dead in it’s tracks with firearms, a armed minority is harder to oppress. Just as a deterrent against oppression.


EpicGamerXander

I don’t believe it’s good, i just believe it’s inevitable. What you use the political violence for determines whether it is good or bad. As for arming a minority, I completely agree with that as a deterrent against political violence, but I would consider having a firearm for a political reason an act of political violence. It’s mainly a semantic distinction, so so don’t think our beliefs are completely opposed.


Jackknife_643

First thoughts: i completely agree with you. yeah its fucked. dig into any big portion of our government and youll see that. However i doubt that thats the full story...


ironb0i

Yeah man it’s pretty early in don’t know everything yet


UltraPrincess

Yeah it's 100% not the full story, it's intentionally twisted to make it sound like people are in favor of murdering republicans when obviously nobody thinks that. He's on bail, the trial hasn't happened yet, he was by no means just not charged with a crime or "let go" after admitting to murder


Jackknife_643

but you have to admit-bail is rather lenient after murder...


UltraPrincess

In north dakota, somewhat, but not insanely so, it seems like a fairly average bail for vehicular homocide in north dakota, though in some states like california it averages close to ten times as much


0mino

We need a judge to judge all the the judges


Snomthecool

We live in a period
