The Texas Organizing Project came under fire in December, because they had bailed out a person two years previously (on a misdemeanor DV charge) who committed a more serious crime two years later. One form of logic says they either should have known this man in particular would cause harm in the future, or should have had a more stringent general standard before bailing him out. We know that he did commit harm later, so it stands to some reason that they are responsible for it. This isn’t something we want to get wrong in the future!
