This is music to my ears. Lancaster protesters held on whopping $1 million bail each after alleged riots. It's about time that someone got tough with these home grown terror groups. We need more of this. I would like to see the judges take this one step forward. Transport them to a jail that's say a thousand miles away.
The overnight violence came on the heels of the death of Ricardo Munoz, the mentally ill 27-year-old who was seen on body cam footage charging at a cop with a knife in hand. The officer shot and killed Munoz Sunday afternoon outside his mother’s house in downtown Lancaster.
Lancaster police arrested 12 adults and a
juvenile overnight Sunday when a crowd of more than 100 people gathered
outside the police station to protest the shooting that day of Ricardo
Munoz, who prosecutors say had run at an officer with a knife.
Police used pepper spray and chemical agents against demonstrators that night.
"Suspects
piled street signs, trash cans, a metal dumpster, a metal bike rack,
pieces of plywood and a wooden pallet at the intersection of N. Prince
St. and W. Chestnut St," police said in a statement. "The suspects
filled the dumpster with additional trash bags, as well as the wood, and
set the contents on fire."
