This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think it's half-bail, meaning they got arrested every other time they went out drinking.

Lol why even comment if you know nothing about bail or the context of what a ball or half ball is? It's a half a ball of coke so 1.5 grams cuz a ball is 3 grams. As for the bail, where the fuck have you ever heard of bail being set for $120 ๐Ÿคฃ. Bail is a tool used by the justice system to combat flight risk offenders. They set it either just high enough to make sure the person shows up to their court dates so they get their bail money back or they set it so fucking high the offender can't pay it and must remain incarcerated from the date bail was set at the arraignment until the case is complete. The latter is used for people with a history of not showing up to court or for people who are extreme risks to the public.

Yes, I know. It was an intentional "misunderstanding", i.e. a switcheroo, or a joke. I guess it didn't land for you.

Why would you set aside bail money assuming you'll get arrested 50% of the time? That's just ridiculous...
