Maybe you should try reading the comment again. Nobody is advocating anything.
>It’s one of the most cruel and predatory systems that I can imagine
In fact, parent is voicing the same complaint you are voicing.
>Are you f'ing kidding me? Regardless of what crime you commit, you should be able to go home and see your family?
No, that's not what parent wrote. Parent described the current system and said he think it's crazy. Let me put it in your own words.
"Regardless of what crime you commit, you are not be able to go home and see your family because you don't have enough money" and the inverse "Regardless of what crime you commit, you are always able to go home and see your family if you do have enough money"
The cash bail system lets criminals escape while innocent people are stuck in jail. It's completely nonsensical. Lack of cash is not an indicator of guilt or crime.
> Do you even think about the implications of your ideas?
There are no ideas in the comment. Where do you see them?
