  1. Wow, Becton actually has bail on them, and they are still in custody. One at 275k, and 200k for the other two. I’m sure there’s a go fund me for them to get the 10% bail, maybe Kamala Harris will donate to this one too. 108RS

    • @Jeff – Their pals would need to fence a lot of handbags to raise $200k for just one of them, let alone $675k for all of them.

      Why are you encouraging the public to launch fundraiser for their bail? While decent citizens rightly take a dim view of the fiscally profligacy needed to detain criminal defendants before conviction (a constitutionally dubious practice), the circumstances here warrant an exception.

      These particular defendants were caught red handed following a planned, coordinated armed guerrilla assault on a civilian target. The defendants or their accomplices assaulted innocent bystanders for the sole purpose of terrorizing other victims to intimidate civilians who might be inclined to resist.

      • Campo Cougar, I think Jeff was being facetious about a fundraiser to raise bill for them. It’s just that Kamala Harris had fundraisers last Summer to bail out the people that torched our cities. He was playing on that.

  2. Even bigger wow, Becton has them for robbery (211pc), I guess they went too far when they hit and pepper sprayed the employees, might be tough to prove unless in store video caught these three throwing the blows. Maybe I’ll see them in court next Monday. 108RS

  3. I think some barbed wire around broadway plaza would be a nice touch, along with some armed checkpoints.

    Fa la la la la la la la.

  4. How much more of this are we going to tolerate. We are lacking law and order. What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. Stealing is wrong no matter what the value is. If we cannot respect law and order we simply regress as a society.

    • Here’s some news for you, one of the three, Joshua Underwood, is no longer in custody and the bail for the other two has been reduced.

      108RS
