Infighting- Democrat Tears Into AOC, Radical Dems On Past Bail Reform Comments Following Waukesha Tragedy

Image
  Former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind tore into progressive democrats including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib Tuesday on ‘Fox & Friends First' for their past comments on bail reform in the wake of the Waukesha parade tragedy. DOV HIKIND: It’s beyond belief what’s going on. These elected officials should be arrested for negligence. They are responsible for caring more about the criminals than they care about the civilians, than they care about you, me, and everyone else. People being arrested again and again back into the streets. What does that do to law enforcement? What does that do to the rest of us? They are pathetic. It is shameful, it is disgusting what is going on. People committing crimes again and again? 50 pages of records of crimes committed before the individual in Wisconsin is finally, you know $5 million bail, those people who were murdered by that individual. Do you know who’s responsible? The DA should be arrested.  "They Care Mor...

The Bail Post Episode No. 72- What Public Relations Has Done for the Texas Bail Industry with Guest Cara Downs and Elliott Chang

Image
  As we begin Season 5 of the Bail Post, we are talking about the importance of engaging in public relations in the Criminal Justice System.  One of the things that we have learned over the years is that the activists will never admit that they are wrong or that they are doing more harm than good.  Also, they have learned how to inundate google with pseudo studies that are really nothing more than dressed up press releases from these same groups that many times actually contradict what the actual science says should be the proper course of action.  Therefore, if we are not telling the positive stories of the bail industry and the Criminal Justice System, then these stories will not be told.  If we are not highlighting what the actual science says then many times no one will.   Our guests on today's episode of The Bail Post is our PR Team- Cara Downs and Elliott Chang who are Media Vista PR.  If you would like more information about Cara and Elliott con...

Bail Fund Supporters Pull Back Support

Image
The Massachusetts Bail Fund is a charity that pays the bail for prisoners who can’t afford it. The nationwide protest movement spurred by the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota has brought a flood of donations, empowering fund officials to pay much higher bails than they ever could before. But the group is facing backlash from its own supporters after it posted $15,000 bail to release a Level 3 sex offender who then allegedly raped and tried to strangle a Quincy woman within three weeks. Shawn McClinton had two previous convictions and a pending rape charge when the group freed him from the Nashua Street jail in July. On Friday, a student group at Boston University canceled a fund-raising concert for the Bail Fund scheduled for Aug. 7, saying they did not realize that the charity was freeing people accused of serious crimes. “We apologize for our ignorance about the Mass. Bail Fund and for triggering any trauma while recently supporting the fund,” said the school’s ra...

Dolly Parton Helps Implement Strategies to Lower Drop Out Rates in Schools

Image
In 1990, the high school dropout rate for Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville Tennessee was at 34% (Research shows that most kids make up their minds in fifth/sixth grade not to graduate). That year, all fifth and sixth graders from Sevierville were invited by Parton to attend an assembly at Dollywood. They were asked to pick a buddy, and if both students completed high school, Dolly Parton would personally hand them each a $500 check on their graduation day. As a result, the dropout rate for those classes fell to 6%, and has generally retained that average to this day. Shortly after the success of The Buddy Program, Parton learned in dealing with teachers from the school district that problems in education often begin during first grade when kids are at different developmental levels. That year The Dollywood Foundation paid the salaries for additional teachers assistants in every first grade class for the next 2 years, under the agreement that if the program worked, the school ...

Episode No. 75- All Hat and No Cattle- Digging Into Pseudo Studies Issued by Activist Groups with Guest Eric Granof

Image
How do you navigate the space in the bail reform debate when law enforcement and activists seem to be arguing contrary positions.  One example is the debate over defunding the police.  A study that was highlighted on Episode No. 71 of our podcast demonstrated that defunding the police increases crime immediately not only in the area that the police are removed from but the surrounding area as well.   Also, taking the police out of the community resulted in litigation that resulted in judgments against the city totaling over $32 million dollars. Nevertheless, activists continue to argue that defunding the police will actually make communities safer. How do we navigate between these two positions.  When activists have flooded google with pseudo studies that defy common sense how do we debunk them and find the real science? This is the subject of this episode of The Bail Post. Audio Podcast- Also available on- Apple Podcasts-          ...
