Haha! What mugs these people are, going to court to weasel out of paying bail? Their case being that they didn't know he was going to run away? That's what bail is for! If the person fails to turn up then they broke the bail conditions and the money is forfeited. When you put the money up you do so on this understanding with the presumption from the court being that these people are confident that the bail will not be broken, they are backing up the character in question with cold, hard, cash.

Looks like they've learnt an expensive lesson yesterday. That offering to pay bail isn't a nice PR move to promote your credentials as a friend of the liberty and truth to the occupy movement, it's bail.

What. A. Bunch. Of. Mugs.
