Anybody that knows the area knows that the Colony is just about as middle class as you can be.

I found it

wow, your just never know do ya?

I had an old dude...(I am going on in that he was way to grey for sitting a in a bar picking fights and claimed to be a vet of Korea) pull a knife on me in a bar not that far from there....(don't ask why, I do not remember and chances are good I deserved it, or he was crazy either way no harm, no foul)

As I live here in the area I am not overly casting aspersions on the area but it is not as "safe" as one might assume or it once was.

But life is always fun in a bar.

75K Bond for Cold Blooded murder? WTF that seems low, Don't you have to only come up with 10% for a bail bond..... 75000 x.1 = $7500.00 to run free? disgusting

[DEMDeepEllumMusic]

Yeah that bond is awfully low since they have a lot of witnesses, the knife and him. I guess it is safer setting in a booth nowdays.

Heck there are several bars near me that I wouldn't set foot in on a major dare but this one sounded not to bad, just a local hang out.

Not for this patron...

Bond should have been set at one million.

[biggin]

Just curious... where does the average joe come up with $7,500?

Maybe it is just me but had any of my friends and or family found out I did something like this they would not be rushing to bail me out. In fact they probably would not answer the phone.

$75k or a million it might not make a difference.

I too thought it was low but also wonder if the guy could ever post it.
