The girl's father, Chip Patterson of Mercersburg, called the $1 million bail set by the district judge "obscene."

Screw this guy. He raised a criminal who took part in a riot and he has the gall to complain about the bail. He should be required to pay for the damages his spoiled brat caused.

Secret agent man, you are wrong, it is unconstitutional

Bail is “excessive” in violation of the Eighth Amendment when it is set at a figure higher than an amount reasonably calculated to ensure the asserted governmental interest.
If the only asserted interest is to guarantee that the accused will stand trial and submit to sentence if found guilty, then “bail must be set by a court at a sum designed to ensure that goal, and no more.”
To challenge bail as excessive, one must move for a reduction, and, if that motion is denied, appeal to the Court of Appeals, and, if unsuccessful, appeal to the Supreme Court Justice sitting for that circuit.
The Amendment is apparently inapplicable to postconviction release pending appeal, but the practice has apparently been to grant such releases.

And bail isn’t meant to be supplied to activists via go fund me. Perhaps that is why

Maybe if daddy had spanked his little precious angel, instead of bribing her for her love....

We are talking about serious crimes here, all felonies. Maybe the Feds have some charges for the little darling.

“ Bail is supposed to be sufficient to guarantee you will how up, nothing more.“

In the current day of millionaire movie stars pooling millions into bail funds to turn arrests into catch and release $1 million is too low.

Except that we know that all those with ‘medic’ bags, and all those who have “Press” on their helmets are really rioters. They just wear them so they can accuse the police of “assaulting medics and the press”.

Yeah, it’s too high. Unless there’s much more to her charges than we know.

I think a $1 million bail is excessive, but having her experience a week or so in jail might open her eyes a bit. I predict it will be reduced in the near future.

I’ll tell you, I was in college 30 years ago, but the worst type of girl I’ve ever met in my life was the “sorority liberal.” Sadly, she’s a very real thing and was extraordinarily common at my school... e.g., doctor’s daughter, total spoiled brat, vain about her appearance, snobbish about her friends... and strident supporter of a radical left-wing agenda.

Your medics had real training. The rioter medic posers have never shown their credentials.

Disgusting...

Commit a crime and get rewarded!

$54,769 raised for her so far! I bet it will surpass the $60,000 goal.

Hasn’t been any riot since then. Has there?

First offender? Let her plead guilty to a felony, give her the maximum time on probation, and a fine equal to 5 years of tuition at her private college. Make the probation terms strong enough that she’ll violate sooner or later. Or else turn into a model citizen.

Maybe, but look at her eye really close. Pure terror and fear. She has no idea what she is in for.

Maybe this will be a case of Scared Straight. One can only hope.

First question: Is “Kat” certified to administer emergency medical procedures? If so, she may have a leg to stand on re her alibi. If not, she’s just another lying rioter. IMHO

What’s obscene, you stupid progenitor, is that your spoiled daughter committed criminal felonies by deliberately destroying other people’s property.
