What was said is this guy was out on $15,000 bail.

I would guess the judge that approved that bail is felling pretty crappy.

I really feel sorry for the Police and Judges, their hands are tied in so many ways and the laws seem to protect the guilty over the victims or citizens.

So now he'll be stuffed in a overcrowded prison and come out a carrier of several untreatable super bugs which will kill hundreds of people 8 years from now when he gets out.

Hooray!

I really do think that people should be screened more thoroughly before they can acquire weaponry. Obviously, having been nicked for drugs and weapons charges before, this thug should not have found it so easy to acquire more weaponry.
Just out of curiosity, has the USA repealed the 3rd-strike rule?
