What do you mean 'set such a low bail'? I would like to know why bail was set at all! This pig shouldn't be let out pending a trial. If he is charged with 700+ charges, he is clearly a danger to society. :furious:

Can you say mandatory castration?

why not?
Didn't a judge recently force a mother to have her tubes tied?

I believe so. 700 charges, I honestly believe that castration should be an option.

I swear, I do not know what that judge was thinking! We see this happening more and more, and I just don't understand.

Unreal. This guy must be connected to get bail and this kind of response from a judge. How scary for the victim to have this creep walk...

Judge Allan Bertram: seems he is pretty tough on furniture store burgler...???
