That’s One Crazy Fare

I am no legal expert, but couldn’t they hold onto the alleged cabbie slasher until he goes to trial? If I remember the story correctly, the guy tried to stab to death a NYC cabbie just because he said he was a Muslim. I, for one, do not feel any safer knowing that this guy is out about the city enjoying leisurely walks and hailing other cabs, even if he is wearing an electronic ankle bracelet so they can track him!

The article says he paid $500,000 in bail to get out of jail. But if this isn’t a case where bail should be denied to protect the public, then what is?

I Love a Good Debate…

… but last night’s was ridiculous! Am I the only one who thinks it is just begging to be parodied on the next Saturday Night Live? What a cast of characters!
