A small group of protesters gathered Wednesday to express their anger over bond being set for the accused killers of three people last Friday.

The protest was held outside the Tulsa County Courthouse in downtown Tulsa.

The protestors believe the judge should have ordered suspects held without bond instead.

Jake England and Alvin Watts are being held on $9 million bond each.  On Monday, a judge set bond at $3 million for each of the three murder counts, $75,000 for the two shooting with intent to kill counts and $10,000 for the possession of a firearm count.

Protest organizer Randall Lopez said while it's unlikely England and Watts could make bail, just having a bond of any amount sends the wrong message.
