“ A Washington DC judge has sparked backlash after releasing a teenager accused of spraying a sleepy neighborhood with bullets from an AR-15.
Judge Lloyd U. Nolan Jr., a self-described 'woke' magistrate judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, ruled that Amonte Moody, 18, be released on bail ahead of his trial. The 18-year-old allegedly peppered a street with 26 rounds while targeting a car of four people at 2:30am on April 22, with Ring doorbell footage capturing a suspect shooting wildly from the hip with the assault rifle.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13413621/teen-gunman-washington-dc-ar-15-bail-soros-judge-nolan.html |
| This young man needs to be held accountable for his actions. What can we do to change the way this was handled? |
| Which neighborhood was it? |
| Is there a legitimate source for this news? |
And the minor league DC superior court "woke" magistrate should be held accountable, too. |

Extremist public defender who somehow has the power to overrule the judge? DC lacking hospitalization facilities for mentally I'll juvenile offenders? We need to end the school to prison pipeline, but we need a pipeline that goes somewhere besides mass shooting. Putting teens in jail won't stop the death merchants from filing our streets with guns. We need to catch and imprison the adults and professionals flooding our cities with assault weapons, to stop this at the root. |
putting teens in jail will absolutely help. |
| I’m certain the children of the judge will be attending a private school and won’t ever have to deal with people like this. |

Some context- the defendant was released on 24 confinement to a residence with an ankle monitor. He is pending trial, and it sure looks like the evidence at this point leads to conviction and incarceration.
Some context I cannot immediately locate- what percentage of cases involving similar conduct result in this type of pre-trial release? I'd love the data, but anecdotally it seems fairly common for even murder suspects to be released on bail? My question is whether this case is substantially different than results in other cases, which would mean we have an anomaly to investigate involving this judge. Alternatively, if this type of result is common, we are investigating the system as a whole. |
What? The public defender made an argument and the judge eventually agreed. That's not overruling the judge. |
Well that’s certainly the case for Attorney General Schwab. |

Last I checked, you could be bailed out of jail for crimes. What was the bond?
I don’t understand what being “woke” has to do with following the law. Are you suggesting he should be held without bail? In what grounds? Why do you hate America and our justice system? |
DC effectively doesn't have money bail and hasn't since the early 90s. The options are release with conditions or a hold. He was released with conditions (house arrest with an ankle monitor). Legally, he could be held in DC on the basis of having been charged with a crime of violence, if the judge didn't believe that any combination of pretrial conditions would ensure both that he would appear for trial and community safety. |
He is still presumed innocent until proven guilty and he still has constitutional rights despite a lot of “anti-woke” (meaning anti-America) demands. People who whine about wokeness are seriously the worst people who hate this country and its basic tenets. |
| I want to know where and when the judge "self-described" as "woke", but I'd have to click on the Daily Mail to read the article, and even then the changes are good that it wouldn't say. |
