A former us-regions bondsman who is now a Houston city council member said Tuesday he will file grievances against judges who release crime with violent histories.
“Well, because I was a bondsman, and now I’m an elected official, this gives me a unique perspective of what’s going on. I get to see it and I understand it. What’s going on is the judges aren’t taking into consideration the violent criminal history of these offenders, and they are releasing them back into the community on an extremely low bond or a taxpayer-funded free bond without any supervision,” Houston City Council member Michael Kubosh told “Fox & Friends.”

Kubosh said that since he took an oath to office, he has a duty to protect and defend the citizens of his city and county.
“This all happened while I have been on council the last eight years. And I’m not going to sit silent. It’s easy to just sit and do nothing,” Kubosh said.
“But I have got courage, I’m going to stand up to these people. And I’m going to call them out. Why? Because our people are dying on the streets. And they are letting these criminals back out.”
