it was far worse than that headline, the bail fund wound up paying for recidivist violent criminals who judges had given bail beyond their means in order to keep them off the streets
ex a guy had already been convicted of kidnapping, torturing and raping one woman, when he kidnapped, tortured and raped another woman, who had to jump out of a moving vehicle to save her own life, and he still tried to turn around and mow her down with his vehicle before she escaped. When arrested another woman came forward to talk about how he had kidnapped, raped and tortured her too, so at least three victims. The judge gave him $350,000 bail and he stayed in jail since he didn't have a dollar to his name and no bail lender willing, until the George Floyd riots brought in a huge flow of money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund from the likes of Joe Biden's campaign. Then they paid for his bail, and he's a free man. They bailed out a handful of other violent criminals like a guy who shot at police with an AK-47 and was charged with attempted murder

the real story is how liberal states are suffering from the combined effects of judicial reform making it near-impossible for judges to order remand, while liberals also try to end bail itself. And then we act surprised when a woman gets murdered and we find out the guy who did it has 80 felonies to his name or whatever

looks like Willie Brown’s girlfriend also helped fundraise for releasing violent criminals into society. a funny turn from her days as a crooked cop in the DA locking up minority males for petty weed ‘crimes’

So a minor quirk of this story I've read about;
https://twitter.com/DallassmithPdx/status/1300179575138168833

Apparently the victim, who went by the nickname "Jay Bishop", had the real name Aaron Danielson. There are antifa journalists like the Portland Mercury who have been spreading disinformation articles claiming that Aaron Danielson is the same person as the Jay Byron Bishop who once was arrested near a Patriot Prayer rally and gave a statement supporting the white supremacist train terrorist Jeremy Christian. But in reality, they are two different people, and apparently Aaron Danielson intentionally took the fake name of Jay Bishop in order to vaguely impersonate the real, and racist, Jay Bishop, so that when antifa tried to doxx, stalk and threaten members of Patriot Prayer, they would be lead on false trails. If you look at the pictures of the two men, they look very similar, but you can tell they are different people if you actually look at identifying marks. So this explains a lot of the confusion over the victim's identity. The real Aaron Danielson was an ardent anti-racist, mild mannered guy who was interviewed giving statements condemning terrorism and extremism. Now that he's dead, the same antifa 'journalists' who organized the assault on Andy Ngo are now intentionally muddying the waters to smear this guy

Yes. This is the only way to stop the impending civil war. Period.

The only other way this ends is a bloodbath that ends the lives of millions of Americans, with the possibility of a Russia/Republican alliance that ends in them nuking the liberal cities at the request of Republicans. You may think I sound crazy, but John Titor already told us this was going to happen 20 years ago.

suspect’s family doesn’t seem surprised he would be involved in a murder

On one hand he seems like the archetypal antifa: ideologically extreme, erratic, estranged from family and an absolute waste of a human being that contributes nothing to society but demands radical change to accomodate him

OTOH look at how the warning signs and criminal record were completely ignored by a DA that has decided not to prosecute any crimes by antifa. If he was a proud boy with a gun they'd throw the book at him. He had already commited enough felonies to get put away

It's weird that we're debating a completely solid statement from Biden condemning violence while Trump embraces and stokes the chaos on Twitter.

We're living on different planets.

Still Trump’s fault because Im brainwashed.
