A judge has lowered the bail for several protesters arrested in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, following criticism from Black Lives Matter activists and progressive leaders.

Thirteen individuals, including one juvenile, were arrested as a result of the unrest in Lancaster on Sunday night into early Monday morning. Charges included “Criminal Conspiracy for Arson, Riot, Institutional Vandalism, Failure to Disperse, Obstructing Highways and Other Public Passages, and Disorderly Conduct and Defiant Trespass,” according to the Lancaster Bureau of Police.

Arrestees included Talia Gessner, 18; Taylor Enterline, 20; Kathryn Patterson, 20; Yoshua Dwayne Montague, 23; Jamal Shariff Newman, 24; T-Jay Fry, 28; Dylan Davis, 28; Lee Alexander Wise, 29; Barry Jones, 30; Matthew Modderman, 31; Jessica Marie Lopez, 32; Frank Gaston, 43; and one juvenile, 16.

Magisterial District Judge Bruce A. Roth originally set bail for nine of the defendants at $1 million but reversed course days later, revising the amount down after criticism. At the tine, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) called the bail amount “blatantly unconstitutional.”

According to Lancaster Online, Roth revisited the bail for the following defendants:

    -Barry Jones M/30 – $1 million to  $100,000 unsecured, he is on house arrest

    – Jamal Shariff Newman M/24 – $1 million to $100,000 straight

    – Talia Gessner F/18 – $1 million to $50,000 cash, if released, house arrest

    – T-Jay Fry M/28 – $1 million to $25,000 straight

Additionally, Judge Dennis Reinaker reset the bail for five defendants:

    – Yoshua Dwayne Montague M/23 – From $1 million to $100,000 cash or 10 %

    – Kathryn Patterson F/20 – From $1 million to $50,0000 unsecured

    – Taylor Enterline F/20 – From $1 million to $50,000 unsecured

    – Dylan Davis M/28 – From $1 million to $50,000 unsecured; is on house arrest

Much as I "liked" the $1M bail, it probably was unconstitutionally high. If any of the thuglings go out and resume their @#$% then the bail should be raised higher.

Fixed it for you. You don't honestly believe they have learned a darn thing do you? We just had another thread about the @$$H@T arrested for arson that got out and went and set 6 more fires, that we know about.

Works for me, @verga. A huge contributor to Portland's Summer of Riots has been the local DA's catch-and-release, won't-prosecute-rioters policy.
