Mass. Terror Suspect Wants Bail A Massachusetts man accused in a terror plot to kill Americans is asking a judge to release him on bail as he awaits trial. More
Sounds like a great idea...perhaps after that we could also give him directions to the nearest place he can buy some fertilizer and diesel fuel.
Sure why not, if shit bags can get out on parole while serving 7 life sentances here in MA, Why the fuck not.....:stomp:
"No." That should about summarize the statement from the judge. Didn't I read somewhere if someone attempts to commit acts of terror against the U.S., they are treated differently through the eyes of the law? I.E. no civil rights etc... ? I'm probably just dreaming, but I could have swore I thought the rules were different in situations like this.
This is Massachusetts...even if he gets time it will only be a month or so, why even waste the time and money on a trial. Sheesh. :stomp:

I have to disagree with all of you. He wants bail, I say, no problem. It's his right. Bring him to Nantasket Beach, tow him out about 2 miles as he sits in a small leaky boat. Toss him a small bucket and leave yelling, "BAIL ALL YOU WANT SUCKER! WE'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW THE TRIAL WENT IF WE FIND YOU WASHED UP ON THE BEACH!" I say, GRANT HIM BAIL! Oh damn, I almost forgot, when out on bail, many people have to wear a tracking device. I think in this case a nice 50 pounder around the neck would be perfect. We could track his movements all the way to the bottom.
