If you walked into the Capitol on J6, you'll be rounded up by the feds and thrown into solitary confinement without bail.
If you attempted to assassinate a political candidate, you'll be let right back out on $100,000 bail. https://t.co/Apd5CGciHL

The bail was paid by an organization called the Louisville Community Bail Fund, which is a project of BLM Louisville…
It astonishes me that the bail was so slow in an active shooter situation. Is the Judge relying on him being a lousy shot if the shooter decides to try again?
I don’t know if it will ever stop feeling weird seeing where I work on national news…
I cited this quote at another web blog. “Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue.” Francois Duc De La Rochefoucauld
Jonathan Swift couldn’t come up with stuff like this.
Whenever I have been involved in a case which has attained notoriety I have always been dismayed at the ability of the news media to get the simplest facts wrong. Bias in the media I always talk about, but simple competency is also frequently a problem.
Is there a place in America where the judiciary is something other than contemptible?

@Don – Yep. So you make sure not to believe them on anything else, right? 😉
@quotermeister – lol fair point. I would trust judge Harvey over some actual robe wearers.

I am always quite skeptical and match sources against stories. I will often wait on stories rather than address them on the blog when I doubt the reports are accurate, especially early reports.
In terms of basic media competence, I’m reminded of an instance where a reporter wrote about a Bishop’s “crow’s ear.” He had heard the term “crozier” and just spelled it phonetically, never bothering to look it up or ask anyone what it meant or how it was spelled.
Re: The media. It’s 99% lies to advance the agenda and the rest is pure stupidity.
Not a mere reporter, but the NYT, covering the funeral of St. JPII:
“Tucked under his left arm was the silver staff, called the crow’s ear, that he had carried in public.”

Pinky.
Being a good researcher is not a prerequisite at the NYT. You just have to be swinging left of center.
Thank Goodness they didn’t say that in his folded hands was some “hosiery.”
Although it wouldn’t surprise me, coming from the Times.
The local subsidiary of Pravda ran the news under the head “Local Activist Charged”, not mentioning the offense until well into the story. Three days earlier ran a story on our new (Black) Archbishop as being insensitive because he upheld Church teaching on gay sex.
My observation of dealing with Judges in their Courtrooms (note how quickly it becomes their Court and Courtroom) for 49 years is that all are susceptible to a unique disease that infects only Judges. It’s called robitus. The disease tends to afflict it’s victum with a God complex. Usually, the longer the robe is worn, the worse the disease becames. A very few escape this deadly infection.
That’s why God made Robitussin, to combat the hacking caused by robitus.
G Poulin, good one! 👍
@J. Ronald Parrish – heh, around here we called it BRD. “Black Robe Disease.”
Black Robitis. Always amusing to see attorneys you knew well before they became judges get infected by it. Best commentary was years ago when I asked another attorney some distance from my home county whether an attorney we both knew had changed since he became a judge. No, I can’t say he has changed. He is still the same worthless bastard he has always been.
