    BREAKING: After our pushback, the outrageous bond was revoked for the Waffle House shooter. You don’t get to murder 4 people, shoot others, then post bond, and walk free. Period. Family members of victims told me this morning how deeply hurt they were by this possibility.pic.twitter.com/ZWuFgtF3of

        This is what public pressure can do! We need to come together and amplify the cry to Free Reality Winner, the young Veteran who deserves pre-trial bond. She has been incarcerated almost a year. No bond for a veteran who served community and country her entire adult life #AngryMOMpic.twitter.com/PY5czObS4t

        She leaked classified information, telling America the Russians did in fact hack state voting data bases. Not a violent crime. Unconscionable that she can't be released on bail.

        The year is listed as 2017 at the top. They may want to fix that.

        That’s what I was wondering too. And there is another typo - “foreging”

        As someone who lives in the neighborhood directly behind the waffle house and down the street from his apts, how could we feel safe if his dad put his company or house up for the bond or whatever and let him back out on the streets?! So glad they revoked bond!

        Doesn't this demonstrate that bail is inherently arbitrary & political? Doesn't it demonstrate that pre-trial confinement is a punishment given to some but not others?

        See Rory Fleming’s tweet about it. Rory is among the most staunch anti-money bail advocates.

        If you want to refer to a tweet, link to it. It's not reasonable to expect someone to go looking for something on Twitter you think is important but you couldn't bother to get the link.

        Hmm, so the court sua sponte filed to revoked the bond. Interesting. Would not have happened without the outcry from some. And how is this not a death penalty case? Why are we even talking about bail?

        Yes, it's like debtor's prison! Some communities are making funds available to low income folks and the ACLU has started a campaign to end money bail.https://www.aclu.org/news/aclu-announces-nationwide-campaign-support-movement-end-money-bail …
