    I would imagine so. Some people don't think things through.

    I'll take 'dumbest post of the year' for $1000.

    Whites aren't even a majority in Texas....not that anything you said could be trusted before this, but thanks for the reassurance that you don't need to be taken seriously.

    Bruh, chill. I was making a point, not calling out the brownshirts because of wrongthink. That's what Leftists do.

    How do you know?

    And even if he did (which cannot be proven), so what? You cannot prove that it was motivated by race.

    Well here's a chill question, for you: with all the different threads-- which obviously cater to people with different interests, philosophical bents, and so forth-- if you found this thread to be unworthy of the forum, in its relative unimportance, why would you bother to reply to the thread, just to say that it wasn't a worthwhile enough idea, to merit peoples' posting to it? Wouldn't the more sensible course have been to have simply continued on to a different thread?

    I'm in the "greater Houston area" which is huge. It includes all the small towns around Houston - encompasses most of Harris County and parts of Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Galveston counties.

    In the past decade, Harris County has gone blue, and has ended up with leftist judges. In the past couple of years, somebody decided that high bails for felony suspects was racist. Since then, felony suspects, even those with multiple prior felony convictions, have been released back on the streets with basically their promise that they will show up on their court date. And many of those felony suspects commit murder again once they are out.

    Now generally, most of these felony suspects are from the inner city and the crimes don't really affect the suburbs. But there was one case where a murder suspect was released on a promise, he didn't show for court, a policeman went to serve the warrant, and the policeman was killed. Along with the 70 something other people who were killed by the released suspects, it has gotten to the point where it can't be ignored. When the leftist news stations start calling out the leftist politicians, you know things have gone too far. Even the leftist Harris County DA (who was fine with the low bails at first) has started complaining about the leftist judges.

    The sad thing is that the democrat judges wanted to help minorities by giving low bails, but all that has done is result in more minorities being murdered. I'm hoping that at some point, Democrat politicians will figure out that criminals hurt everyone in society, regardless of the race of the criminal. When criminals are coddled and protected, you know society has gone off the rails.

    A self perceived 'victim' looking to victimize. He consumed too much FOX, Newsmax and OAN.

    Since you brought it up, we've often asked that of people here and one in particular who go into a thread which has an OP they don't approve of and who then write "So what? Who cares?"

    Although I agree with you on this, it's simply an accepted form of trolling unless the mods decide otherwise. I've been here over nine years now and I think there's only been two threads where I thought "Why did they waste the bandwidth here?" - because there's always someone out there who will find the OP interesting even if you or I don't.

    $100 is a very very low bail, why do you think they did it?

    We'll see, how many allegations of racial crimes have we had that turned out to be bull? I'd like some collaboration.

    Our neighboring county jail isn't even taking people unless they basically commit murder. They're pretty much auto-released due to covid restrictions. I suspect thats whats going on with this case as well. Which is ridiculous and shouldn't happen, of course. But it aint racism. Its covid hysteria.

    Why is it the media almost never reports on stories that start like this "black viciously attacks random white person.."..?

    When such random events of violence are so much more prevalent on that side.

    Consider my question to be rhetorical we all know the answer though some of us will pretend we do not know it.

    That would be a valid-sounding hypothesis, except the ideas of "Covid hysteria," and, "Texas," sound a bit incompatible, like water & oil. Though, I realize that, within Texas, there are more-- for want of a better word-- liberal areas. The fact that this incident occurred here, however, makes it seem less likely, that this is one of those areas where concern over Covid, trump's concerns in the realm of crime, or relating to the economy, or to personal liberty, or basically anything else. To put it plainly, the sad fact appears to be that, at least in Texas, Florida, and a couple of other states, only Democratic areas are taking Covid that seriously, and Republican areas are largely dismissive of it. In what state do you reside? And would you rate your "neighboring county," as Red, Purple, or Blue?

    If you cared to develop your speculation beyond just that, I'm sure it would not be too difficult to check to see if the jail & court in this jurisdiction did have some sort of local Covid regulations in place, governing the setting if lower bonds, during the pandemic. I tend to doubt, however, that this turns out to be the explanation.

    I live in a bright red area of blue WA. Our neighbor county is also bright red. I guess I dunno about Texas, but in my bright red area, govt buildings and agencies (even county) are still treating covid like its ebola. The businesses are over it- they post the mask mandate on the door and no one pays any mind to it. The cops dont wear masks, the city workers dont wear masks. But the Sherrif's office sctual building, the Sherrif having run as a country Republican good-ol-boy, only lets one person in at a time, by appt only, mask and hand washing, required and even the city hall at our tiny town of 1500 Trump-worshipping farmers, rednecks and trailer trash is the only building in our whole town where someone will tell you to put a mask on.

    In short, if Texas is anything like deep red rural WA, then the people have long stopped worrying about covid, but the govt is still enforcing the rules within its property to the letter and beyond.

    Except the post office, I guess. They seem to have let the whole thing go, at least in my town.

    And BTW, we were ~1500 people before the pandemic and we're still ~1500 now. Im sure someone died from covid, but not enough to make any sort of dent.

    $100.00 bond? Misdemeanor assault? Well, it is Texas.

    The historical record shows that Texas is the only State where the Whites wanted to kill all of the Black people. That sounds very racist to me, how does it sound to you?

    Glad to hear that things are so well under control, in your neck of the woods. In my city, which is actually a light Red area in the Blue state of Connecticut-- the past 20 years we'd had the same Republican Mayor, who was the son of another popular Republican Mayor of ours, but who recently left to serve in the Governor's Democratic administration; in this last election, a new Republican won, but only by 161 votes (in a city of about 80 k residents)-- all government mask mandates have been removed, I think, though that has gone back & forth. Medical facilities still stress mask-wearing, and businesses, like supermarkets, still have signs asking for the non-immunized to wear masks; in reality, most people, including the vaccinated, still wear them. So, though we may be Republican-pink, these are not the type of Republicans who are sucking up most of the national news coverage-- talking about Critical Race Theory, or Election fraud, or manifesting transgender-phobia-- but more reasonable, centrist, moderate Republicans, of days past. Which brings me to my reply, that Washington State is a long long way from Texas. I don't think a person can reliably gauge one, by the other.

    Although some people are thinking that the white guy who assaulted a black guy got low bail because Harris County, Texas, is racist against blacks, that just isn't the case. Harris County is blue.

    In 2019, Harris County was sued concerning cash bail amounts - because high bail discriminates against the poor - and it was ruled that Harris County can't set high bonds for those cases. So all suspects, regardless of race, are getting low bail as far as I know.

    I do know that felony suspects, even repeat offenders, are getting low bail or zero bail in some cases, and then some of these offenders go on to murder others while on the reduced bail. The liberal/activist judges are starting to take some heat from LEO and the local liberal media because repeat criminals are being released on extremely low or no bail.
