Oh wow compassionate bail and he bails on that too? Some people just don't get it do they.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T02:57:30.000Z

hope he's okay, must be going through a lot. but yeah maybe not the best move to just not come back.

Reese Morgan2026-06-16T03:29:30.000Z

yeah nah 'going through a lot'? he did the crime, deal with it. don't run off.

mate it's not the public getting pissed, it's the system being too soft. my opinion only.

Reese Morgan2026-06-16T03:51:30.000Z

daniel mate, you're not exactly a ghost, they're gonna find you pretty quick lol

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T04:01:30.000Z

s'pose you're right, but damn people make mistakes. hope he faces it properly.

Stuff2026-06-16T04:08:30.000Z

Hope they catch him soon, waste of police time tbh. Should've just denied the bail.

Jack Morrison2026-06-16T04:20:30.000Z
