I would have to say the judge set the bail so high on Dylan because of the circumstances that led to the stabbing. The situation starts on Facebook postings and escalates from there with Dylan and the other party taunting and encouraging to meet up and settle it. I'm sure Dylan said something along the lines of "Come over to my house and I'll duck you up." I'm sure the victim said the same thing along the lines of "I'm going to come over and duck you up!" Let's not pretend as if everyone involved in the situation was calm and mature. Calm and mature people don't meet up face-to-face to fight over Facebook postings.
The judge has to set an example that these kinds of situation involving young people fighting and dying over social media is not ok. Say what you will, but there is more to the situation than what you and I know. It only took the jury 3 hours to come to a decision. It was guilty, by the way. I bet if you and I were on the jury and we saw all of the evidence presented, it would become more clear.
Go ahead and throw the race card and be ignorant, though. It's what I expect from Hmong people nowadays seeing how we are becoming low-lives just like n....g.....as.
