Mattes Attacker Out on Bail

Fox 6 News reporter John Mattes was viciously attacked by Sam Suleiman who was the subject of an interview. Mattes was about to discuss Suleiman with another man when his wife appeared, threatening Mattes and the camera man. Then Suleiman got out of the car, walked over, and began beating Mattes, cracking ribs and gouging his face. His wife swore she was getting a gun, but reappeared with a rock which a bystander took from her. The whole event is caught on video.

Previously, Suleiman has threatened many people with whom he has worked--architects, accountants--and their families.

Suleiman and his wife have been released on bail and will be arraigned on Monday. Since he has been released, Suleiman has called another enemy and threatened him saying he's not finished with him yet.

Why are such violent people even out on bail? Suleiman is obviously not making idle threats. There's video showing he's more than willing to use actual force. Does the court want to give him and his wife more opportunity to follow through on what he is clearly more than capable of doing?
