In Georgia, the only persons who get bail set at first appearance in Fulton County with no attorneys are misdemeanors and low level felonies and no prior criminal history.
So your claim about murderers and other serious, violent criminals getting bail at a first appearance automatically somehow is just not a valid claim. To the extent that your argument relies on this shaky premise, you should reconsider your argument without it and then see if your conclusion changes.
Everybody else has requests and motions for bond, typically filed by attorneys who know how to argue properly before the court and make the case that a bond is appropriate. Note that everybody else who had attorneys, they are all out on bond.
You can claim it is ridiculous all you want, but I have watched a courtroom full of persons without attorneys denied bond while the few with attorneys received bond. It has nothing to do with the Establishment v. Trump and the judges being part of some anti-Trump conspiracy. This is just how getting a bond works in Georgia.
This is the only guy without an attorney. This is the only guy charged with a violent crime against law enforcement, not in this case, but in an open case that is still pending. This guy was also charged with threats and harassment. If this was not a Trump ally, the violent crime against law enforcement would be enough to have all the Trump supporters calling for him to stay in jail.
By the way, he has a lawyer in the violent crime case, and guess what? He got bail. That is why he was out of jail to be arrested for this case.
A Donald Trump supporter who surrendered to Georgia authorities on charges he conspired with the former president and other allies to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss is also facing federal charges that he assaulted an FBI agent in Maryland. Harrison William Prescott Floyd turned himself in...

As for your opening line, supposing my attitude is Oh, "well" and he can just sit in jail and it is easy for me to say because I am not the one sitting in jail. You are mistaken. That is not my attitude at all. I am just telling you how it works, not telling you how I feel about it or how it "should" be. This is how it works, and it has nothing to do with political bias or the "Establishment" or any of that other nonsense. If you are going to get arrested, or you do get arrested, get an attorney. Period. I shouldn't think this is necessary advice, but apparently, it is.
I expect that once he hires an attorney, the attorney's first order of business will be to make a request, and Judge McAfee will order a bond to be posted for his release with conditions like not contacting any witnesses or co-defendants or committing any further crimes.
Had he hired one ahead of turning himself in, he would be out now at home over the weekend, just like the other 18 who did so, Establishment be damned.
