Why not jail without bail? He can't shoot anything (person or animal) then!

Is home release the norm for those accused of violent crimes with easy access to guns? Who break even local hunting rules?

I think we need some non45 appointed judges on these cases.

He's a FELON who had a GUN! Lock him up.

Home detention? Took part in the insurrection, beat a couple of cops, kills a beautiful mountain lion, illegally with a gun he wasn't supposed to possess. But hey, he didn't have an air freshener hanging from his rearview mirror. That would be the death penalty.pic.twitter.com/SCFIPEyzQq

He also owns a hunting expedition business with extensive overseas ties.\n\nIs he prohibited from leading those expeditions?

From AP.\n\u201cMontgomery has no respect for the Court\u2019s orders, just like he had no respect for law enforcement at the Capitol on 01/06,\u201d said prosecutors...who later asked for house arrest w/GPS monitoring after negotiating w/the defense.\nU.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss

So we're letting this escalate to a human victim next time? This judge has blood on his hands if anything else happens.

To me Patrick Monthomery is a danger to the public and should remain in jail awaiting trial. High bail but he should never have been released even with home detention.

* Home Detention" is not punishment enough!! Are the jails too crowded??

He was ALREADY banned from owning guns due to a prior felony. But he\u2019s a \u201cprofessional hunter\u201d licensed by Colorado?

Very disappointing. I thought the possession of a firearm as a felon would ensure he would be remanded to custody until trial. What an awful picture, such a beautiful animal.

Home detention? People DIED!!! \n\nAmerica is already gone! Hello Crimea 2.0

And yet, home detention. Colorado officials say he also broke state laws because he was banned from owning firearms due to an old felony robbery conviction.pic.twitter.com/O7FSWFnf4w
