    I live 1 town over, so I’m a pretty reliable source. Its true, he’s out on bond. Hopefully he’ll get locked back up again soon.

    1.He’s Guilty

    2.He’s a racist (towards me anyways)

    Thats enough for me.

    1.He’s Guilty

    Of quoting the bible?

    2.He’s a racist (towards me anyways)

    Thats enough for me.

    Not for me. I don’t think being a racist or quoting the bible are reasons to put someone in prison.

    Mr Gatties
    Equal justice means that ideally ,all Americans
    have equal rights and freedoms ,no matter if rich or poor,no matter if they exercise their freedom of speech or just go along to get along .No concept of law should be more important to Americans.

    Mr Gatties ,I do not know who you are ,if you are claiming that i am a racist then you are a liar.I do not defend myself against people like
    you.BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE TOO.

    Racists certainly shouldn’t be locked up. Even preachers shouldn’t be locked up. What is he “guilty” of? On whose person or property did he aggress? Let him pay restitution to the victims, if there are any. No one should be locked in a state animal cage.

    Is there a victim or victims? No victim, should be no crime.
