Bail reform has been a fun wildcard introduced to Texas.
It’s effectively turned our society into a haunted house where you never know when an ax murderer will pop up at your local hardware store.

DALLAS — One of the four people indicted for capital murder in a deadly shooting on July 4, 2021, in a historic Dallas neighborhood has cut off his ankle monitor and is on the run, according to the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force said that Bryce Jones, 20, cut off his ankle monitor and it was recovered in the parking lot of a Mesquite Home Depot store.
Perhaps he was prepping to do some tile work and the ankle monitor was going to be in the way?
Frankly you can’t talk until you’ve had to lay down some travertine with a GPS tracker on your ankle.
In September of 2021, Jones and three others were indicted for capital murder in the deadly shooting at in the Hamilton Park neighborhood. Residents in the area told WFAA when the shooting happened that it was during an unofficial community block party.
Three people were killed and three others were wounded in the shooting. One witness described the scene of the shooting that July 4 evening as a "Wild, Wild West moment," with residents running for cover.
They sprayed bullets into a crowd but only managed to hit 6 people. Still, 6 people is still 6 people.
In some circles we call that a “mass shooting” and I’m told they are a very important issue that require a dramatic clampdown on our Bill of Rights.
Not much else to say. They’re letting violent criminals out of jail everywhere.
