ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A man who faces several battery charges stemming from a protest in Albuquerque earlier this month has been released on his own recognizance.

Second Judicial District Judge Charles Brown released Steven Ray Baca, 31, Monday morning. Brown said he believed Baca posed a danger to the community, but also said that there were conditions of release that could keep the community safe. Baca is required to report to Pretrial Services, cannot possess firearms and cannot go to any protests while the charges are pending.

“I’m going to find that the defendant may be a danger to the community,” Brown said. “However, the state completely fails on the second prong of the analysis as to whether or not there are any conditions which would reasonably protect the community.”

Bail can't be denied, except in extreme cases, and cannot be excessive, but released OR? The judge should be forced to house the guy in the judge's spare bedroom!

I know this sounds horrible, but it's coming from my tongue being firmly stuck in my cheek: lately, I've been wishing that a bunch of judges end up in the same predicament as the judge in the movie "Peppermint."

Law Abiding Citizen is another favorite of mine...does that make me dangerous?
