Obviously, there is a problem inherent to a system whereby everyone arrested is presumed innocent until the jury foreman signs his or her name and the judge accepts that they properly followed procedures. Up until that moment, that defendant was presumed innocent.

So it’s an issue when you arrest someone who waves their speedy trial right, which is everyone. (Because defendants lose speedy trials) You have to ensure they show up for their proceedings and you can only keep the most dangerous in detention.

No defendant likes the conditions of their release because, well, they are conditions and not the general freedom one had before. Someone who is not a parent can say, “You cannot do that.”

But we suspect it is a particularly “white” complaint to walk into court and ask that the conditions be changed because the conditions interfere with her normal workout routine.

It has been an hour and the post has not been updated. It is possible that the judge took the matter under advisement or will continue the hearing to get more information.

It is probably fair to say that if the woman is asking for nothing more than changing one hour at the end of the day to a beginning of the day 7-3 instead of 8-4, the judge would consider it. But given the tweet, the issue does seem to be something truly interrupting her ability to “exercise.”

So we did some investigation:

The amount of 1/6 attackers who are evangelical cross-fitters is disturbing.

We seriously doubt that it’s craziness. This seems far more like white entitlement than craziness. A black defendant would never try to make such a claim. It is our belief that these white people never lived a day in their lives believing they’d ever be targeted by law enforcement. Obviously, these were good people, they were Republicans, white, and many prayed.

The reality of what’s happened to them and around them hasn’t yet hit home. We cannot speak for her, but we can envision a situation where she thinks, “My cross-training is very important to my mental health and physical well-being, it’s extremely important and should be considered.” Sadly, at times, one will run into judges that have the same sort of mindset about entitlement – more benefit of the doubt. But there are more and more judges that don’t see “whiteness” as indicative of special treatment, thankfully.

We will update when one appears.
