I think the county is making a statement, don't riot in our county. I think the message might work too.

DH and I lived in Lancaster County, PA almost 40 years ago (we're now living in Western PA). The city of Lancaster has obviously changed, and not for the better. I'm proud of the Judge who set bail, and my Western Pennsylvanian neighbors/friends/coworkers all think the Lt. Governor is a BLM a** kissing jerk.
Bottom line is that the "peaceful protesters" picked the wrong area to pull their marxist nonsense, this time around. And they just got the book thrown at them.

I can understand going easy on people if they were arrested for something like handcuffing themselves to the front door of the city building or that sort of tresspass etc. civil disobedience.

Arson and assault however should bear the full brunt of the charges.

Still can't believe they gave professor bike-lock a 3 year probation after multiple multiple different assaults and not just some one time thing.

In PA, are the elections for Gov and Lt Gov separate? Has fetterman just handed a great campaign spot to his opponent? A campaign spot for Republicans and or Trump to use in PA?

Arson is just short of murder if luck is on their side and if it isn't, it is murder.

The Lancaster suburbs are where mid-State conservatives with just a little more money go to live, and the county draws a lot of older retirees with money from all over the region. That's before we get to any Mennonite political influence.

They aren't going to tolerate anything close to what has been going on in other cities, and were always going to send that message. Only the dumbest local people don't get that, of any race.

Million dollar bails are Middle America's way of telling the complicit coastal governements and their terrorist shock troops that their variously active and passive facilitation of domestic terrorism is going to be strictly relegated to their cities.
Lancaster has been taken over. It's not the same place it was 15 years ago.

Arson is typically considered a lethal force attack, and lethal force in return can be justified.

Me either. Corrupt DAs that refuse to charge and prosecute people that riot, loot, burn, assault innocent people and attack law enforcement, simply because they side with their political orientation, need to be removed from office and charged.

Possibly, sure.

So, is $1M bail normal for arson charges in PA?
