Wow, you're really trying to be as bad faith as possible, aren't you?

    I’m confused here tbh.

    He had unpaid child support, missed a court appearance and was arrested leaving the country.

    Ostensibly he was fleeing repercussions.

    Jail is kinda wild but if he is a flight risk ( eg: he was caught heading to another country ) then detention might be proper.

    Idk what the color of his skin has to do with anything here.

    Just trying to see if you they actually read the article or are just virtue-signaling

    Do you think he should be held without bail for his crimes?

    Do people trying to flee the country typically get bail?

    There are many other conditions that can be set to prevent someone leaving the country. You're either being wilfully ignorant or, like I said before, acting in bad faith.

    Okay, but do people who skip court and try to flee the country typically get bail or not?

    This comment thread started about the US having issues with this. In the US, pawbably not. In other countries, pawbably yes.

    No, this comment thread started about the US having issues with locking up black people for no reason.

    Talk about bad faith.

    Yes, that's what I said? I'm sorry if you weren't able to understand that...

    Edit: To be clearer, I saw the comment about black people going "straight to jail" as talking about black people not being offered bail. Being sent, straight to jail, before even a trial. That is the so called "crime of existing while black" in this context. Is that black people, just existing, will be denied bail overwhelmingly more than white people, for the same crimes.

    (There are other "existing while black" crimes depending on the context. Sometimes it's being charged with offences that usually go unenforced, like jaywalking. Sometimes it's literally no crime at all. All of these cases are valid reasons to use the term.)

    We're talking about in general. Regardless of race: do people who skip court and try to flee the country typically get bail, or no?

    Barlow said at the time of his arrest, he was headed to Tijuana, Mexico, to build homes for the homeless.

    Mm yes, very "trying to flee the country" of him.

    Nitpick the sematics and avoid the question.

    Soooooo good faith of you!

    You're the one using loaded language. If you want an answer to the question, it depends. That's called judicial discretion btw.

    You're really not happy about being called bad faith, are you? Yet you're just tripping over yourself in your desperation to accuse me of the same.

    How often do they grant bail in cases like this?

    In cases where someone has missed notice in regards to a child support case, because it went to the wrong address, who were leaving the country (to a city neighbouring the border) so they could volunteer for charity and presumably return on the same day? I dunno if any data on that exists, but if you find it, please share and then we'll both know! But you have a good day now alright 😊

    So you have no idea, and yet you're absolutely convinced that he was jailed for existing as a black person.

    Neat!

    And just look at all that loaded language! So good faith!

    You're right, you win, there's the gotcha! I hope you go to bed tonight feeling chuffed about yourself, while the rest of us continue to exist in the real world. 💜🤗

    That's great, you're really funny. You know who else doesn't consent? Black people, to our horrible policing and judicial systems! ☺️

    Here in the real world, any time we see a black person we immediately start spouting off about racism. They love it.

    Barlow said the court appearance notice was sent to the actor's P.O. Box rather than his address on file, and due to being sick with COVID-19, he did not check it in time for the appearance.

    He missed one court date, and the opposing counsel or the court used a different from standard mailing method.

    And he's a rich dude doing charity work, and he had a project he was on his way to. Hardly "fleeing"

    Edit https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/darius-mccrary-net-worth/

    Oh he is not rich

    So he was sent his court appearance, didn't appear, and tried to leave the country.

    Do you genuinely think anyone else would have been given bail under those circumstances?
