Rage against the bail

November 21, 2007 Posted by Scott at 9:24 AM

This past summer Somali immigrant Rage Ibrahim was charged with the horrifying rape of a Somali woman in an apartment hallway while as many as ten bystanders (most or all of whom were Somali, if I am not mistaken) looked on. Until yesterday Rage had been conditionally released from jail pending trial. Ramsey County Judge Michael Fetsch has now reinstated bail of $50,000 as the result of Rage's violation of a no-contact order in which he sought to secure the silence of his victim for $1,000.
