And the minor league DC superior court "woke" magistrate should be held accountable, too.

Vote Republican. Duh.

Oh, hell no. Today's Republicans all hate America and everything it stands for. They staged a violent insurrection and tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. They're hell bent on stripping away our rights. Screw that. Vote blue, no matter who.

Once again.......YOU voted for this. You want changes and improvement, but keep voting the same way, despite one party clearly wanting to push law and order hard, but that's not good enough for you. Next shootings in DC (sadly will be in the next 24 hrs)...go to the crime scene, and tell everyone you dont want to vote in people that will do a cleanup.

The judge is federally appointed. DC voters didn't vote for him.

Does anyone know who appointed him?

Judges are appointed by the DC Judicial Nomination Commission who members are appointed by:

- President of the United States (1 lawyer member)
- Mayor of the District of Columbia (2 members, one must be a non-lawyer)
- District of Columbia Council (1 non-lawyer member)
- Chief Judge, US District Court for the District of Columbia (federal judge)
- DC Bar (2 lawyer members)

Thank you. So the District played a role. And who was the appointing president?

The commission simply makes nominations. The judge in this case is a magistrate judge. Magistrate judges are not appointed by a President but rather the Chief Judge. As another poster has said, the Chief Judge who made the appointment is Lee F. Satterfield. Satterfield himself is a George H.W. Bush nominee (confirmed by the Senate).

The insinuations you make about Satterfield are gross when the truth is that Satterfield is a Black man from DC who worked at DOJ before being appointed to the bench.

Yes, I am wall aware of Satterfield's race and previous employment. I simply stated a fact because the previous poster seemed interested.

I am interested. Getting to the bottom of who is responsible for holding people accountable for gun crimes in our city is circular. Everyone says someone else is .the weak link.

What about second chances though?

Before the pitchfork and torch mob destroys this young gentleman’s entire future, shouldn’t he at least get a fair shot at simply living a life so many over-privileged people in the DMV get to enjoy, unearned?

Troll. Absolutely no one thinks releasing people who are lighting up neighborhoods with their illegal AR-15 is a good idea. It's not a weed offense. This is a young man who is willing to murder dozens of innocent people because he's in a bad mood. That's why people are outraged with Judge Nolan. The fact that this judge is on Facebook posting about how he's "still woke" and promoting Black Lives Matter further exemplifies how absurd and tragic the DC justice system has become.

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.

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.

Indeed, it's sadly common for attempted or successful murderers to be released on bail, and then assault or attempt (and sometimes succeed) murder again.

Witnesses won’t just kill themselves.

That's illegal. It's the called witness tampering.

NP but all the perpetrator will get is a second ankle monitor right? Because spraying bullets at cars is illegal too. When there are no consequences for one violent crime who cares if you commit another?

GPS is a joke, it is only monitored during business hours. It's also easy to tamper with it or remove it.

Tampering with the ankle monitor is a crime.

Are you suggesting he’d go to jail?
