This pos needs to be hung high

Probably needed the money to pay his monthly unaffordable care act insurance premium.
HYDESMANN says
This vermin is obviously dangerous so why is the judicial system going to let him out if he can post bail? This state really needs help.
Michael M says
Because this state recognizes the right to bail. Even then, he’d need $25,000 cash. Later, they may request a bail hearing to lower it, but violent offenders rarely get that opportunity.
Cheese Patrol says
Probably supported Obama… Heck maybe Obama’s son or uncle…

20 years ago I was robbing your local hotels.
Signed B.H. Obama
Michael M says
Doing a quick search for his name, it appears he had a court date TODAY (involving three felonies — 2x theft more than $1k but less than $10k, and one charge of theft of motor vehicle). If I were a betting person, I’d say these robberies were to fund his run.
