I'll agree, with the caveat that perhaps if the BPD person admits they have BPD, is in therapy, and is trying to get better... sticking around may be OK. But it's no different than when someone has alcoholism or a drug habit. I

The comment I responded to discussed how bail was set based on prior events. My comment showed how those prior events were substantially biased. Therefore, by a simple and clear chain of logic, setting bail based on prior events is also
