A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

Cashless bail (or even no bail at all) doesn't mean no pre-trial detention for people who really deserve it, so I'm not even sure why you'd bring it up. Of course they wouldn't free him

Too many people think "cashless bail" means letting violent people go free.
