I have a question about this. This dude was wanted for violation of parole. To me this means that he does not understand how to obey the law or at least has no respect for it. How is it they that he was given the chance to post bail. Why can these people show such disrespect for the law and then be allowed to get out of jail with a very small amount of money and their word. lol. Yeah right. If he gets out I will be willing to bet he would be a no show on his court date. I say keep this type of criminal in jail until their court date. Now someone is gonna say that the person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Well the dude is violation of parole. he has already been found to be a criminal. Now he apparently disregards his parole rules. Why not let him out to run form the law some more?? Not. Put them in jail until their appearance.
