AOC: This would be a great time to combat "excessive bail"

JAZZ SHAW Nov 24, 2021 12:11 PM ET

 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Monday called for a “federal intervention” against the use of “excessive bail” just one day after the horrific attack in Waukesha, Wis., allegedly committed by a felon who was out on an “inappropriately low bail amount.”

 

''In a letter sent to five New York City district attorneys, Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.), and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) demanded details on the bail conditions used by prosecutors. They alleged that the use of cash bail contributes to overcrowding in New York’s correctional facilities, particularly Rikers Island. ''

 

''- “Condemning thousands of individuals to languish in an environment plagued by persistent overcrowding and mounting violence as they await trial is not acceptable, and risks violating the federal civil rights of these individuals,” the letter from the lawmakers reads. “If these conditions are not addressed, federal intervention may be necessary to protect detainees from additional harm.” -''

 

The more we learn about Darrell Brooks and the path that led him to allegedly become the author of the Waukesha massacre, the worse the entire situation smells. It’s now been revealed that he had previously been arrested and released on “inappropriately low” bail amounts not once, but twice. They’ve finally managed to lock him up on $5 million in bail, but not until at least six people were dead and as many as five dozen others injured, some grievously. With that in mind, who on earth would possibly think that this would be the ideal time to come out in favor of even more “bail reform” measures to cut even more suspects of violent crimes loose on the streets? If your guess to that riddle was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, give yourself a cookie because you are correct. Is this some sort of intentional baiting of the Waukesha victims and their families or just the most tone-deaf epic failure in the history of political messaging? Perhaps a combination of the two?
