Rioting Newspaper Employee Arrested And Held On $1,000,000 Bail In Lancaster While Paper Tries To Hide It
Nationalist Review ^ | unknown

Posted on 09/17/2020 8:03:18 AM PDT by euram

Matthew Modderman is an employee with the LNP Media Group which owns and operates LNP Online, Lancaster’s premier source for local news. His name is listed among several others who were charged for their involvement in the incredibly violent riot that took place as a result of the lawful killing of a black man who charged at police officers with a knife. Each of those individuals is also being held on a $1,000,000 bond despite protests from Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman. Pennsylvania’s judiciary is wisely not playing around.

So then, is his excuse for being arrested, that he was part of the media covering the riot, and not rioting himself?

The college girl arrested there was supposedly a “medic” administering first aid to rioters, and not rioting herself.

Arrested for a little thing like violent rioting?/s

Haven’t they heard of Ernie Pyle and many others in WWII who reported from combat areas during battles to get the stories to the newspapers? Maybe this jerk wanted to get close, really close, to report things. /s

I bet the paper has a FaceBook account. Someone should post the question on there...

Half these rioters are now flying “Press” and “medic” logos on their clothes.

Both Antifa and BLM had instructed their rioting followers to pose as journalists or medics, sometimes with a vest or hat saying “medic” and sometimes by simply saying, if arrested, that they were “journalists.” They knew that credentials generally wouldn’t be required.

Looks like they guessed wrong this time.

Well, they chose poorly, didn’t they?

Maybe they could choose to avoid being part of a riot. That could be a better choice in many ways.

Matthew Modderman has few employment opportunities; Community Organizer, Social Justice Professor, Rehab Member/Counselor, or work for the Leftist media.

We're past the point of RICO arrests.

These days the mass media plays the same role as the North Korean media—brainwash the masses to be obedient Commies.

They’ll figure out really quick that certain insignia draws fire... I wonder how long it will take them to figure out that the folks with the bullhorns and using their phones to actually communicate (instead of live streaming People’s Exhibit 16) are the priority targets, the support train and propaganda arm are next priority, on next to anyone with something flammable/explosive, down to anybody throwing anything, then anyone with a weapon, and lastly the rabble with signs and empty fists...

Gotta prioritize your targeting. Ammo is expensive and rare.

There were some live stream YouTubes on Wokenet with the identifier of “LNP”...probably this clown’s using the company account.

The camera angles were clearly those of someone embedded in the crowd, not on the periphery where one might expect a real and responsible journalist.

Yeah, the guy who got shot in the arm by Kyle Rittenhouse (while holding a pistol) was also a "medic." So make of that term what you will.

What a waste.

And this wasn't even remotely a "questionable" shooting. Ricardo Munoz was a violent felon charging the police with a knife in his hands. He had his "war face" on!

Matthew Modderman is a poster boy for a corrupt press. It appears Michael Modderman is violently attempting to overthrow our government.
It is a repeat of the corrupt attempt by the Obama Administration to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.
The Democrat Party attempted to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
