That's quite a low bond for a crime of this magnitude.
Little man can't attract women his own age. Disgrace.
Fine, upstanding lad. Probably abused as a child. Or maybe he has been a scumbag from birth.
He definitely needs to be stopped, but that is not a low bond. He would have to come up with $25,000 cash to get out, and you don't get it back. How many people in Mississippi have that kind of money just sitting around to throw away on trash like him? I've known people who couldn't make a fifty thousand dollar bond. But if you're a doctor, you could probably make a million dollar bond. Most non-court personnel doesn't know that bond is really not supposed to be a punishment; it's just to make sure you show up for court. Let's just hope he can't make the bond, but if he does, I can guarantee one of the conditions will be to stay away from computers.
My post did not make the cut. Perhaps Kingfish objected to my pointing out that the perp is from a western suburb of Jacktown.
The bond is actually $700,000, according to recent reports.
