How it is that Magistrates in the State of South Carolina have such minimum requirements to sit the bench? Virtually no legal experience required; not sure why the military or law enforcement requirements are relevant. Looks pretty much like political appointees. Whatever happened to Rebecca Adams in Irmo, who was putting away folks who couldn’t post bond on minor non-violent traffic violations? What happened to the lawsuit by the ACLU against her?

UN-FLIPPIN’-BELIEVABLE!! I hope he gets thrown UNDER the jail.
This is pure EVIL. Just driving down Gervais past the State House now gives me the shudders.
