About That “Easy Bail” Thing

Well, it is Austin, after all:

A man has been charged with capital murder following a Tuesday series of attacks that left six people dead in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, garnering criticism for the bail reform group that freed him when he was previously jailed for domestic violence.

Shane James Jr., 34, was bonded out of Bexar County Jail in March 2022 by Laquita Garcia, the statewide policy coordinator for the Texas Organizing Project (TOP), jail records obtained by KSAT show.

Under the reign of World-Emperor Kim, Laquita Garcia would be occupying the cell next to this asshole’s on Death Row, for materially assisting the deaths of six people.

But no doubt someone’s going to have a problem with this.

  1. How is the Biden junta going to create more room for cultural enhancers coming in through the special lines they now have for them at the southern border if gangbangers aren’t released to keep on killing citizens?

    Kim – I usually agree with you, but I’m going to have to respectfully disagree here

    If someone gets a 2nd chance and they fuck up this bad, never mind arresting them again and bringing them to any jail cell death row or other wise. This kind of bullshit should get onsite instant euthanasia.

    1. Given what terrible marksmen most cops are, I’m trying to minimize the chance of bystanders getting shot accidentally.

      1. In the words of Professor John Lott in his famous book, “More Guns, Less Crime”, you’re more than 13 times as likely to be shot by a law enforcement officer than a citizen.

        The very people that the american communists believe should be the only people to possess firearms are the most dangerous people when they do possess firearms.

  3. If you’re putting up bail for a suspect then you’re responsible for their actions. the suspect is of course always responsible for their actions. I dare say the judge should also be responsible for the actions of the suspect. If the suspect is released and goes on to commit more crimes, then the jail and whoever posted bail should be charged as accomplices to those new crimes and the suspect should be ineligible for bail in the future.

  4. TOP bailed him out almost two years ago on misdemeanor charges, for less than $5,000. He had no previous convictions, apparently. Then he cut off his ankle monitor, and new warrants were issued. But Bexar County Sheriffs never re-arrested him, not even when called to his house in a “mental health incident” – to avoid a “violent confrontation”.

    I’d say this is on the Sheriff (for not re-arresting him), and the District Attorney (for not pursuing the outstanding charges), not TOP. Of course TOP helped elect both of them, but that’s a very different issue.

    The man was a dangerous, violent paranoiac – but it’s not always easy to differentiate between one of those and a man who’s being gaslighted by malicious associates.
