Yet “very inconvenient” drastically understates how it affects the detainee. People lose their jobs and homes while locked up unable to raise bail. There are numerous cases where people are locked up for months on end before being released when the charge being dropped altogether. And people take plea deals while innocent just to get out and back to work, now with a criminal record.
Only 10 percent of New York City’s inmates are able to afford bail. Without BFF’s help, 90 percent end up pleading guilty, even if they didn’t commit the crime.
I think the point the person was making was that, given all the (manufactured) confusion over whether or not it was actually a nazi salute, if the people of Germany are treating it as one, the rest of us should as well.

Trump will undoubtedly agree to pay for his own security when he leaves office, since in his view, working for the government doesn’t entitle you to lifetime protection at taxpayers’ expense.

We may remember this sort of fellow from our own teen years. Jason B. Harrell, a self-employed plumber and (autocephalous?) outreach minister who reached out and pasted a 14 year old kid, and threatened his life and the life of his family.
