    It also bans charitable organizations from paying more than $5000 in bail.

    For violent felonies, it doesn’t allow them to pay bail at all.

    Which means anyone could provoke anyone to violence and they would be jailed with no hope of escape. Including ostensibly a homeless person by destroying their stuff.

      Ya know the concept that one must take unreasonable actions in an unreasonable situation comes to mind. If someone gets into a fight for example, they may just default into “accidentally” killing the person so that they can write the narritive for example.

          Making rash moves can easily backfire in times like these, better to take small precise moves than large random ones. In eliminating one threat you may create a martyr or galvanize ones enemies while weaking oneself. Just look at the German spartacists to see how well rash moves can backfire.

            Who said anything about doing anything rash?

            🤔 Protesting in the major cities would probably do a lot to draw negative attention toward the bill and its sponsors, and hopefully get it dumped.
