    If he was known to be dangerous, why was he eligible for bail? Seems to me there's lots of blame to go around here.

    In Oregon only murder, aggravated murder and treason are nonbailable.

    Seems like a bad system?

    This seems to disagree though:

    "And finally, Oregon already has a constitutional provision that allows judges to hold defendants during the pretrial process if they are deemed to pose a significant safety risk to their victims or to the public. Article I Section 43 states: “violent felonies shall not be bailable when a court has determined there is probable cause to believe the criminal defendant committed the crime, and the court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that there is danger of physical injury or sexual victimization to the victim or members of the public by the criminal defendant while on release.”

    But this law is rarely used."

    I sleep with them after you do. Of course I hate slipping into the used part but once you get past that it's pretty good.

    Because this is the US, and money rules all. We don't punish people who can afford to post bail and hire good lawyers.

    Bail should be illegal. Dangerous people should no be let out of jail, and people who aren't dangerous should generally not be in jail.

    I notice that a lot of the homeless in Portland are now gone. Looks like they, like the rest of us, have headed for the beach.

    So happy the Greek Fearival is back in our neighborhood. After two years it has returned for the 69th edition.
    Really surprised everybody was able to get there through the burning dumpsters and riots. 6073F4DF-298A-435A-9186-51904F195412.jpeg

    Right now the only NCAA D1 college where both their men’s and women’s soccer programs are undefeated is the University of Portland. Pretty cool stat!
