I’m confused….. Why is it that the young black woman has to be raped by one or more “White” men? Why is it the the young black woman in your example has to be poor? And your $$$ to the bondsman??? I don’t believe full surety is forfeit unless the bonded flees. I suppose if the judge set an absolutely ridiculous Bond, it could be troublesome… ( on this item I must plead ignorance. I have never been in the situation, and have never given it any thought) I understand your larger point. And, I agree. I just think the… Read more »

Has a list of the new primary grades been published?
I hope all Floridians are aware of the grading system and how to vote for 2A republicans.
