7/11 Update on the arsonist Chad “Misty” Horne. At first his bond was set at a trivial $1000. Now it’s up to $500K, which is far more meaningful. Maybe they intend to hold him this time? We can always hope.

Note for fairness: KREM covered the initial court hearing today. Last year they did the Soros thing, gave him several months of unconfined “treatment” then two months in jail. Didn’t change anything. He’s still on the streets, not living a useful or happy life. (Useful and happy are nearly identical categories.) The city will be vastly better off if he’s confined for a long time. Equally important, HE will be better off in a firmly controlled situation where he gets meals and a bed, and is forced to break the drug habit and learn the satisfaction of being useful instead of destructive.
