Story out of Statesville in local news today. Woman charged with several counts of statutory rape stemming from a relationship with a 15 year old foster child. Gets $275K bond. But in NM, starving kids and allowing one to die, then covering it up, gets you $20K bond. For some reason, the contrast really hit me when I heard the Statesville story on the radio today.

Really want to bang the head of the judge against the head of the DA - hard - very hard (sort of Salem's Lot fashion).
Not the judges fault. The DA should be impeached/recalled/shot take your pick.
I don't think the judge should get to hide behind the "just following orders/law" excuse, but I understand that my initial imagery might have been overly symmetric.
How about "shot, executed, and sent to the Russian front?"
Can it be any clearer?
Wahhaj Sr.......He previously predicted U.S. democracy would "crumble" and be supplanted by Islam, adding it is "our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Quran."
We just had thread about how we should have judges that want to be umpires not players. Just remember that judicial activism in either direction is still activism. They should interpret the laws and allow the the laws to be imposed. Just by chance they also allow stupid laws to be exposed.
It doesn't seem to be clear who actually razed the structure (s). Possibly the property owner.So if the charges are gone, do the feds rebuild their house? I mean, these guys were imprisoned, not charged, and released. So by rule of law they did nothing wrong, yet still have no where to live because the .gov bulldozed their house. Sure it's a shack or compound or whatever, but still, it didn't belong to the .gov yet they destroyed it and basically took property from people who were not convicted of doing anything.
Not taking their side, just pointing out the injustice perpetrated on presumed innocent people.

But, from what I'm reading, the suspects have been newly charged and the old charges can still be re-filed. I think there was a procedural error on the DA's part
