AOC: "The bail is too damn high!"

Good timing from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-Stupid).

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Monday called for a "federal intervention" against the use of "excessive bail" just one day after the horrific attack in Waukesha, Wis., allegedly committed by a felon who was out on an "inappropriately low bail amount."

In a letter sent to five New York City district attorneys, Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D., N.Y.), and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) demanded details on the bail conditions used by prosecutors. They alleged that the use of cash bail contributes to overcrowding in New York's correctional facilities, particularly Rikers Island.

"Condemning thousands of individuals to languish in an environment plagued by persistent overcrowding and mounting violence as they await trial is not acceptable, and risks violating the federal civil rights of these individuals," the letter from the lawmakers reads. "If these conditions are not addressed, federal intervention may be necessary to protect detainees from additional harm."

Less than 24 hours prior, Darrell Edward Brooks Jr. allegedly drove his red Ford SUV into a Christmas parade in downtown Waukesha, a suburb of Milwaukee. The rampage killed 5 people and injured at least 48 others, with many of the victims requiring intense care at the nearby hospital. Brooks, whom police have identified as the principal suspect, was released earlier this month after he posted $1,000 bail. He had been arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend and hitting her with his car in a gas station parking lot.

As far as I’m concerned, she can eat shit 24 hours a day 365 days a year for the rest of her life.

I’d even pitch in a can or two of my own.

Is she going to be reelected?

[jon-nyc]

I would imagine so.

There is no hope for us...

Actually, the fact that she will be reelected gives me some semblance of hope.

I hate it when @jon-nyc holds back.
