Finally, I KNOW This Is Something We Can ALL Agree On

Sorry, this is complete fabrication. Kamala Harris is former prosecuting attorney and attorney general for our largest state. She does not support arsonists, vandals, rioters and looters. She supports cash bail reform because it has become a for profit industry that is unconstitutional. It puts a price on freedom that many can not afford while awaiting trial whether they are guilty or innocent.

8th amendment
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted.

You have a link to Kamala supporting arsonists, vandals, rioters and looters?

Well said.

“If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” Harris tweeted on June 1, just days after the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Protestors.

She bailed out those that committed those crimes I just showed you and asked others to do the same. Now there’s no walking that back. Her actions speak louder than her now…fake words.

You have no proof that she did any such thing.

Then why can’t people in this forum condemn cops caught on video murdering and shooting people?

You weren’t paying attention.

All people who are released on bail, no matter their crimes, could be released out to commit more crimes.

Your argument is silly.

Make an argument you don’t think the rioters should be allowed bail.

That’s a more honest argument than trying to cut off funding for bail so the people who can’t afford it rot in jail while others more well off go free.

They have the right to bail themselves out and no one is questioning that. It’s when someone else cuts that check, by their actions they have just endorsed those people charge with those crimes.

Someone else is always cutting their check.

It’s how bail has worked for years.

You are supporting a system where the less fortunate who commit crimes should rot in jail while those who have a little more fortune in their lives can skate until trial.

This is what orgs like the MFF seek to rectify.

Kamala Harris has supported cash bail reform since 2017.

The fund to which Kamala Harris urged people to donate is a general bail fund…it is not a special bail fund for rioters.

Timing is everything. When did she ask the world to help her support this fund? What was happening at that same time?

And who did she ask for support for?

Point to the part of her tweet where she said she was asking for rioters to be bailed out?

[DisturbedGuy]

I don’t get it. The republicans/conservatives are supposed to be all about the constitution.This is something that has become unconstitutional yet they defend it like crazy.

In the current system, I can be an accused serial killer, but if I have enough money, I can be free until trial.

Whaaaat? You didn’t see this on CNN?

I support buying AR15s for people who can’t afford them. But I can’t.

I wonder what the posts would look like if VP Pence did?

[westaussie]

Had they been found guilty of any of the charges for which they had been charged that they were bailed at the time of being granted bail?

I am definitely NOT going to research this for you. Why the hell would I do that?

[westaussie]

No research is needed: since they had not been to trail at that point in time and on the basis of the presumption of innocence until proved guilty the answer is no they had not been found guilty.

[altair1013]

@westaussie

No research is needed:

Then why did you ask the question?

[westaussie]

It was a rhetorical question.

[WuWei]

If there is a presumption of innocence, why is bail imposed?

[Smyrna]

@tnt

Protestors.

Oh yeah…protestors were just unambigously arrested…amirite?

[Smyrna]

@tnt

You have no proof that she did any such thing.

…cept her tweet that I provided.

[tnt]

The headline is misleading. Those people weren’t convicted. They are innocent until proven guilty.

Yes. often actually.
