Austin Metcalf killer has $1 million bond. Effectively he only has to raise $10,000 to get out.

1,000,000 bond, so he has to post $10,000.

Effectively anyone would only need to fund raise a $10000 and he'd be out on the street again.

I wonder how that would fuel the outrage cycle, accelerating the news cycle and social instability further.

WTF is he allowed out on a murder charge?!

dumbass, he needs 10% = $100,000

I misplaced my ability to do simple addition while my brain was melting from exploring multiple bridges between higher-order geometry, conformal algebras, and probability theory, while trying to cook a piece of salmon.

At least the salmon didn't burn.

I can do all that, except cook salmon.

I can do all that,

Then you would be a good addition to help expand the cryptography effort.

It's in your name after all.

Would be a shame if something terrible happened to his mammy while he was in jail. I'm sure he wouldn't care after a min or two but that's the kind shit that needs to happen to the families of these spawned savages. Over and over and over.

Where did you get 10000? Usually it's 10%

[ - ] prototype [op] 3 points 3 weeksApr 4, 2025 23:39:33 ago (+3/-0)

You're right. I missed a zero.

Yep, it's 10% in my county.

That's pretty high for a bond.

A 10% bond is 100,000 that will never be returned. Typically the bail bondsman will keep the 100k in exchange for posting the full million as a "fee" and the defendant doesn't get that back. The bail bondsman should get the full million back at the conclusion of the trial.

Really is a tossup as to whether the 100k will be raised - but the internet is retarded and some people might be ok with paying - and then whether a million is a good risk for the bondsman.

On an unrelated note, does the bond get returned whether the defendant is "dead or alive"? or just alive? If the defendant decides to run.

It's in he normal range for murder. They can put up 1 million cash if these nigs are so rich. Or go fund me.

This nigger is going to walk free.

What Remains To Be Seen Is A Bail Bondsman Willing To Bet A Million...
