Jeff Boehler Friday, December 28, 2012 7:41:58 PM Yeah, $30,000 bond? Really? Get caught with drugs and get half a million dollar bond. Try to kill people or kill someone....$30,000. Our legal system is really screwed up!!! 
Wayland Slater Friday, December 28, 2012 7:55:21 PM How much you want to bet ETOH will somehow be involved. Paranoia is a possibility. but $30K? I've known litter bugs get more. This is one soft judge. There's no excuse to have a bond that low for attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, assault on public servants, and whatever else the DA can think of. With what's been going on in the last two or three weeks, you'd think they'd be much tougher, not whimpier.
Just that God no one was hit, hurt, or worse.

Ken Churning Sunday, December 30, 2012 1:39:23 AM It will be interesting as usual to hear all the facts and NOT rely on the media to even get the story close! The guy's probably mentally ill? who knows? Since the prosector or Judge doesn't care if he's on the street's, lets hope the guy gets some help so this won't happen again!
