Unbelievable that a judge would grant bail to a terrorist who has pledged to kill as many Americans as possible and l bombs, two which exploded injuring 30 people and then had a shoot out with police. Bail isn't given to those that are perceived to be a real threat to the public if released. Bail is denied every day all across the United States to dangerous criminals...so why would this terrorists be given bail?
The Afghan immigrant who authorities believe planted bombs in New Jersey and New York this weekend was captured Monday after a dramatic gun battle with police that sparked when officers found him sleeping in the doorway of a bar.
Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, was charged late Monday in Union County with five counts of attempted murder of a police officer. He was being held on $5.2 million bail and remained at a hospital. It wasn't known if Rahami had an attorney, as messages left with phone numbers listed for family members by the Associated Press weren't returned. Federal charges in the bombings have yet to be filed.
Rahami's family has started a public fund raising effort to secure bail money and have avoided the media.
