As reported by Fox 26 in Houston, no fewer than 113 defendants charged with capital murder have been inexplicably granted bond and released back onto city streets pending trial.
WHY? Because “racism,” if not.
Look, out-of-control political correctness and the whole Black Lives Matter canard is one thing; the murder of innocent people by thugs out on bail on previous capital murder charges is as obscene as it is insane and it must be stopped.
Moreover, according to Fox 26, more than 50,000 accused felons in Harris County have benefited from the “catch and release” philosophy of left-wing driven “criminal justice” perpetrated by the current crop of democratic “reform” judges. (Kamala “Cashless Bail” Harris was unavailable for comment.)
According to Crime Stoppers Houston, 155 people have lost their lives as a direct result of this inexcusable madness.
So how bad is it? As I reported in early December, a dozen U.S. cities eclipsed their annual murders before the final month of the year began. All 12 cities have one glaring thing in common: Every one of them is run by Democrats.
