How are these people not sitting in jail awaiting sentencing like people busted for some small drug charge. Bail for traitors should not be an option.
78Bail shouldn't exist.
Either you're too dangerous to be free or you're fine. Money shouldn't come into it.
If you're going to run, the 10% to a bondsman is just a fine. So they keep moving bail up, which means normal people that plan to show up have to pay even more that they'll never get back from the bondsman.
The current system makes zero sense, but it makes people a lot of money

America in a nutshell
37Absolutely agreed. Bail is a horrible concept that again targets the poor population even more.

He was in jail. But unfortunately the jail officers treated him cruelly and unfairly, by delaying urgent medical treatment. Those officers were held in contempt and the defendant was put under house arrest.
It’s possible this proud boys member is terrified of going back to jail. Which wouldn’t be surprising given that authorities did an awful job of caring for him whilst in custody.

Anyone check his mom's house?
24Imagine that. A coward in the racist ranks of the conservative army. Who’d have thunk it.
16But I thought he's just a misunderstood patriot?
13Realized his little leader actually doesn’t care about him and so he had to figure something out himself
6Or he got spirited away by some friends to go be a rallying flag at some militia in the backwoods.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities are searching for a member of the Proud Boys extremist group who disappeared days before his sentencing in a U.S. Capitol riot case, where prosecutors are seeking more than a decade in prison, according to a warrant made public Friday.
Christopher Worrell of Naples, Florida, was supposed to be sentenced Friday after being found guilty of spraying pepper spray gel on police officers, as part of the mob storming the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory on Jan. 6, 2021.
The sentencing was canceled and a bench warrant for his arrest issued under seal on Tuesday, according to court records.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth found Worrell’s medical care for a broken hand had been delayed, and held D.C. jail officials in contempt of court.
Phone numbers listed for Worrell and the woman named as his custodian during his house arrest were not functional.
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and three other members of the extremist group were convicted of seditious conspiracy in May.
