How did he know he was going to fail before he failed? He wrote in a note a month before the attempt he failed. Suspicious.

[brianburgess]

Will mysteriously die in jail mysteriously now

[dylanpetrin]

Uh I’d hope so there would have been a serious fucking issue right there if he did get bail…

[jairusdennis]

Didn't even know he was eligible for one 😂

[kreiner]

I should hope they charge him for attempted assassination and no bail. And yes, I'm a Harris supporter.

[carrier]

Imagine the controversy if some wise ass bailed him out tho

[theTrinity]

Surprised Kamalia Harris didn’t offer to pay his bail.

This is your tax dollars hard at work... Figuring out if they should let this guy out on bail... Really?

[erichughes]

Thank goodness this psycho has been brought to justice.

Glad everyone is calling out an assassination attempt after this box

[timfetting]

Why are you denying him bail that's what they should report more on

[patrickshannon]

Should be facing attempted murder charges as well

[Monkey]

Why can't they deny bail for a 34 x felon? For a r4pi5t?

[davehadenough]
