According to another recent study,this guy is an idiot
I would have to agree. These kids do anything for some attention. Go find a homeless vet, and get him the assistance that he might need. This is one of the reasons that our country is going downhill. All people care about is attention and social media. No basic morals or decency.
F this punk
What are the odds the 4 skip court or bail jump and the money is forfeited……
95-99% He’ll be out his money.
Ya think .. ??
Hopefully they skip court and the bonds are forfeited
why are you hoping for failure?
$1850 could be better spent than putting idiots back on the street to commit more crimes. You could feed the animals at the humane society for quite a while, and actually make a difference.
I would hope for failure so that he stops bailing out people who drove after forfeiture without an interlock. Unless he’s going to have the person drive around in his neighborhood for when he reoffends.
No good deed goes unpunished
A fool and his money are soon parted
…. that just maybe some people don’t want to be out of Jail ??
3 hots and a Cot !
In the winter !
As mentioned above, go give some food to someone sleeping on the street. Go buy winter coats at Goodwill and hand them out.
Plenty of other ways to “create” feel good moments.
He’s a “content creator” isn’t he ?
Go create a coat and a sandwich
No matter the outcome, this was a very kind gesture and it was refreshing to see the gratitude from the last man. You could help a homeless man, and he could buy booze or drugs, or help a person from prison, and maybe the kindness will be enough to change their lives. Perhaps no one ever extended such generosity to them before.
The generosity is from the judges low bail amount. $1850 should have been enough to bail out 1000 inmates
The people hes bailing out are the bottom of the barrel of the community. Dont expect much
This was a nice gesture? It was a gesture to gain clicks for his website and nothing more. How else is some funny ass looking Indian going to get that?
Just curious how you’d feel if one of the four he bailed out killed someone tomorrow?
That’s “Bubbles” from Trailer Park Boys
I would love to hear a follow-up story on these people
