Reply #169: Not an assumption at all

we are talking about pretrial detention which happens in many cases.

If he were bailed out, there'd be outrage about the amount of the bail.

The whole outraged is based on the concept that the law should not apply to Manning. We like what he did, so he should not go through any legal consequences.

We'd live in complete anarchy if that were followed. And there would be a great deal of injustice. If others are charged with the same crimes, should they be released too? If others make comments about suicide, shouldn't they get the same treatment demanded here, that is, no prevention measures to be taken?

Then there would be suicides in jail and the Obama-obsessed would be calling him a murderer.
