AOC Targets ‘Excessive Bail’ Day After Suspect Out On Bail Hit 50+ People With Car In Waukesha

"“When prosecutors seek excessive cash bail, it results in increased rates of incarceration — particularly for low-income defendants,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. “More than 75% of individuals in custody haven’t been convicted of a crime, and are confined in unsafe conditions simply because they cannot afford cash bail. Condemning thousands of individuals to languish in such environments as they await trial is unacceptable.”

"Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks come just one day after a 39-year-old black male was taken into custody by law enforcement officials and charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide after driving over dozens of people in a Christmas parade.

"The suspect “has been charged with or convicted on an array of charges over the past 22 years, including battery, domestic violence, cocaine possession and resisting arrest in several jurisdictions in Wisconsin,” The New York Times reported. “He has served at least two jail sentences and spent years on probation and in court-mandated work-release and anger management programs …”

Earlier this month, the suspect was arrested for allegedly punching his child’s mother in the face and hitting her with his car at a gas station. The criminal complaint from the incident says that “officers observed tire tracks on her left pants leg.”

How dumb can this "birthing person" be?

Your entire post here also shows you have no idea what the point of bail even is in the first place. But ignorance is your business.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow So 'splain it to us mere mortals....
@sunsporter1649 This is basic high school level shit. It is only ever been a monetary incentive to make sure you show up for court. Not to keep people languishing in dungeons like it is the 1400s. So bail the defendant is incapable of paying is by definition excessive.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow So $5,000,000 is excessive, reduce it to $500, let the jackass out to kill more, right?
@sunsporter1649 🤦‍♂️Thanks for proving you still don't know what the point of bail is. But we all know you think the Dark Ages are what we should model society off of.
