CanadaLMFAO. The US justice system is a complete joke. Honestly, how can any American be proud of that system? Michigan had locked up the FBI's youngest informant ever, White Boy Rick, he was sentenced 30 years for a non-violent drug offence (he was a juvenile when the crime was committed). Why did he get 30 years...because he was too good as an informant and was bringing down some high profile Detroit elite's and gangs. And there are more of these stories in the US prison system.Give Peas A Chance…0

"wild west system"... just so you understand a little history, the principle of bail is rooted back to English common law. It's an extension of the concept that an individual is innocent until proven guilty. Bail amount is at the discretion of the judges, informed by precedent and connected to the offense, the likelihood of another crime, flee potential and access to funds. In other words, the richer you are, the higher the bail is likely to be. Bail is often set to zero as a person can be released on their own recognizance. This is eminently more humane than keeping someone confined for two weeks by law. If this keeps up, I think you can say goodbye to PJ coming to Stockholm again. It's getting national attention here and you can bet Ed will take note.Spiritual_Chaos said:
We don't have a monetary bail system. How many countries even do have that wild-wild-west favor the rich system? And how would that have mattered here - where it was determined there was a risk of fleeing?mrussel1 said:
Who's outraged? That's not my shtick. I just don't understand how a person can be held in detention for two weeks during "investigation". No bail hearing? No privileged conversations with an attorney or consulate? Is this standard in Sweden or only because he's black?Spiritual_Chaos said:
Cute how one can really see all of the reaching you have to do to find something to post with this little fabricated outrage of yours.mrussel1 said:I figured there would be due process laws but maybe the base legal system is more Nuremberg code rather than the Magna Carta. Disgusting.
Let's repeat:
I kid cuz I care..
In Sweden, pre-trial detention is ordered for suspects of offences carrying prison terms of over a year, as long as there is risk of flight, impeding investigation (for instance by destroying evidence) or continuing criminal activity. The detention is reviewed by a court every fortnight; a new remand hearing is required if no legal action has taken place within 14 days.
And there are three levels of suspicion, and it can go from stronger or weaker depending on the investigation. I would think - with there being video here that this person was on the highest level.Defendants' Rights
Pre-Trial
Police and prosecutors are responsible for conducting investigations to determine whether an individual should be prosecuted for a crime. Prosecution is mandatory if guilt has been established through the investigation period.
A defendant is entitled to counsel as soon as reasonable suspicion is established during the investigation stage. The defense attorney may ask the prosecutor to conduct specific investigations on the defendant's behalf.
There is no right to bail in Sweden although individuals who are released without detention may have their travel restricted by court order.

Teh refugee situation is fundamentally unlawful and I'm sure PJ Hawks will agree. You are defending as right and proper the confinement of ASAP. Big difference there.Spiritual_Chaos said:@pjhawks number one source for news: ASAP Rockys Manager: "lack of access to life-sustaining food as well as unsanitary conditions"
Here is this weeks "lack of life-sustaining" food (not counting breakfast, and evening food (whatever that is called in the US) at the custody in question (google translated so a bit weird in places). Lunch at top and Dinner at bottom. So 4 times a day food is served.MondayGoulash soup, cheese, breadHot chickpea stew, riceTuesdayBreakfast sausage, horseradish sauce, potatoesItalian chicken, pastaWednesdayMeatballs, mashed potatoes, beetroot saladChicken nuggets, sweet chili sauce, vegetable riceThursdayRotfruktssoppaCheesecake, jamPuddle in pan, fried egg, beetrootFridayGreek color steak, potato wedges, tzatzikiSpanish fish stew with vegetables, bulgurSaturdayChicken with mustard & horseradish, ricePie with minced meat, saladSundayLight meat stew, potatoesMushroom crepes, white cabbage salad
Could it be americans are to used to McDonalds and Taco Bell to understand regular - life-sustainable - food?
He has also said he has to drink "dirty water" - could it be that coming from US he isn't used to be able to drink tap water? Because, you now ... you folks not having that great water? As the custody themselves say: "Both the people sitting here, and people working here drink the same tap water"
Unsanitary Conditions - Here is the custody in question:
And here is how the US treats people from other countries for comparison:
Maybe @pjhawks@mrussel1 Nicki Minaj and the US congress should focus on those conditions instead?0 -

At least 40%? where is that number from? Please post that detail. If you think about all of the non-violent felonies and misdemeanors that are bailed or bonded, I don't buy that number for a second. My guess is over 80% of crimes (misdemeanors or felonies) have bail or bond set. It doesn't mean it's always met, but at least set. Unless being arrested and put in jail UNTIL your bail hearing counts as pre-trial detention, which would be a ridiculous stat.oftenreading said:

He is suspected of " grave assault". He would not be sitting in custody if not the jail time for the crime would be 1 year or more.
His suspicion level is 3 out of 4 (På sannolika skäl misstänkt = "on probable grounds))
On probable grounds. The suspicion is justified by an objective assessment. It requires something that further binds the person to the crime, such as a witness or technical evidence. Example: A witness has seen that a person has picked up the wallet.
Are you choosing to jump in and be obtuse by choice just to not forfeit your "bald eagles and freedom" stance?
So you believe it was a small offense (even though the jail time could be 1 year).
You believe he would only be served one (1) apple in prison.
You believe he was served dirty water?

PEARL JAM CANCELLING STOCKHOLM DATE ON UPCOMING TOURmrussel1 said:
If this keeps up, I think you can say goodbye to PJ coming to Stockholm again. It's getting national attention here and you can bet Ed will take note.
Pearl Jam will not play Sweden on this upcoming tour, because the rapper known as ASAP Rocky was only served one (1) apple and had to drink dirty water while in swedish custody the lead singer Eddie Vedder believes. Sources say that guitarist Mike McCready tried to point out that he had tasted the water in Sweden, and was surprised by the magic of being able to drink tap water. The same sources also claim that Jeff Ament do not believe that someone in one of the most modern countries in the world would be served only one (1) apple and dirty water. He also believes that the rapper obviously would complain about as much as possible and that his manager would try to make as much noise about it as possible. Also ASAP Rockys own lawyer has dismissed all that bullshit. But Vedder together with tenclub member @mrussel1 had been taking note and Vedder forced the band to cancel.

CanadaI read the article on the rapper. Lets, get this straight. He was being followed for 4 blocks by some dick heads...the dick heads were asked to quit following them. The rapper took matters into his own hands? Correct? Where is the problem? In Canada or the US, I doubt any cop would lay charges...and pretty sure this never gets to court. The lesson those pecker heads should learn from this...you act like an asshole then don't be surprised when you get slapped around.
Maybe the peckerheads following the rapper were Swedish hockey players...seems about right.Give Peas A Chance…0 -

CanadaRocky may get to stay longer. Lucky him. What a waste of police resources. I am almost certain that no charges or arrests would have happened here in Canada over this incidence.
State Dept. urges Sweden to treat arrested rapper ASAP Rocky fairly. Swedish prosecutors must decide by Friday whether to charge Rocky,
who is being held in solitary confinement or ask a court to let them hold him longer.
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/14/asap-rocky-arrested-sweden-state-department-1415839
Eventually, after one of them took “a fighting stance and then threw a punch” at Rocky’s bodyguard and hit him, the two sides soon started fighting.“They were obviously spoiling for a fight,” said the person close to Rocky. The person added that the rapper and his crew “had no choice but to defend themselves” and that the two men who had been accosting Rocky and his colleagues got physical first. The person also said Rocky is “eager to defend himself and his name” in court if charges are filed.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
