Lancaster protesters held on whopping $1 million bail each on riot charges

A Pennsylvania judge threw the book at several protesters accused of rioting — by setting their bail at $1 million each — in the wake of the police shooting of a knife-wielding Lancaster man. Lancaster police nabbed a dozen people and one juvenile for staging the riots around 3 a.m. Monday in clashes that culminated in police deploying tear gas at the crowd. The overnight violence came on the heels of the death of Ricardo Munoz, the mentally ill 27-year-old who was seen on bodycam footage charging with a knife in hand at a cop. The officer shot and killed Munoz Sunday afternoon outside his mother’s house in downtown Lancaster. The mob marched from the scene of the shooting on Laurel Street to the police station, chucking glass bottles, rocks, bricks, gallon jugs filled with liquid and plastic road barricades at cops, police said. A county vehicle parked in front of the station was also damaged.

Twelve adults — Jamal Shariff Newman, 24, Barry Jones, 30, Frank Gaston, 43, Yoshua Dwayne Montague, 23, Matthew Modderman, 31, Talia Gessner, 18, Kathryn Patterson, 20, Taylor Enterline, 20, T-Jay Fry, 28, Dylan Davis, 28, Lee Alexander Wise, 29, and Jessica Marie Lopez, 32 — face a slew of felony and misdemeanor charges, including arson, riot, institutional vandalism and criminal conspiracy. A 16-year-old boy was also busted on riot, disorderly conduct, possession of instruments of crime, possession of a small amount of marijuana, propulsion of missiles onto a roadway and institutional vandalism charges. Montague, of York, Pa., faces an additional charge of illegal possession of a firearm. Magisterial District Judge Bruce A. Roth set bail for nine of the defendants — Newman, Jones, Montague, Modderman, Gessner, Patterson, Enterline, Fry and Davis — at $1 million apiece, with court records showing all were unable to post. They’re being held at the Lancaster County Prison. Bail information was not available for Lopez and bail was set at $100,000 for Wise, who was also unable to post. Police said Gaston was on probation and a detainer would be lodged against him.

Social justice advocacy group Lancaster Stands Up claimed Patterson and Enterline were working as “medics” at the Munoz protest when they were arrested. “The absurdly high bail amounts indicate that what we’re seeing is not a measured pursuit of justice, but a politically motivated attack on the movement for police reform and accountability,” the group tweeted. Lancaster Stands Up then called on a number of elected officials, including Lancaster Mayor Danene Sorace and Gov. Tom Wolf, “to step in and defend Taylor, Kathryn and other peaceful protestors against the politically motivated actions of local law enforcement, prosecutors and judges.” Attorney information for those charged — all Pennsylvania residents — was not immediately available.

About 150 protesters returned to the streets Monday night calling for justice in Munoz’s death, but the demonstrations remained peaceful, PennLive.com reported. “We want an answer,” Kassandra Orjales, 25, told the outlet. “The name of the officer should be known. If it was one of us, we’d be all over the news. We won’t be silent anymore.” Munoz’s family has said he suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and was off his medication at the time. The officer involved in his shooting was responding to a 911 call placed by his mother, stating that Munoz was getting “aggressive” with her and trying to break into her home, police said. Munoz was set to go to trial in October on charges he slashed four people last year.

NY released MS-13 gang member facing federal murder charge

Bumbling state prison officials put a reputed MS-13 gang member back on the streets — even though the feds ordered him held on a murder charge that carries the death penalty, The Post has learned. Ever Morales-Lopez, 26, was granted early parole for a 2018 conspiracy conviction on Long Island and released from the medium-security Washington Correctional Facility in Comstock on Sept. 3, records show. But a federal arrest warrant for Morales-Lopez was lodged with the state after he was indicted in July, along with seven other reputed MS-13 members, on racketeering charges that cover six murders, two attempted murders and a kidnapping conspiracy, a law enforcement source familiar with his case said. The warrant was supposed to ensure he was transferred to federal custody to await trial instead of being sprung, the source said. Instead, the FBI didn’t learn Morales-Lopez had been freed until Sept. 8 — five days after he was cut loose.

But members of the FBI-Long Island Gang Task Force were able to track him down and bust him within 12 hours, the source said. Following his arrest, Morales-Lopez was hauled into Central Islip federal court on Thursday and ordered held without bail, based on a judge’s findings that he posed a “serious risk” of flight and “danger to the community,” court records show. Morales-Lopez — whose nicknames include “White Boy” and “Lenky” — is accused in the murder of Kerin Pineda, a rival gang member who was lured to a secluded, wooded area near the Merrick-Freeport border on May 21, 2016. Morales-Lopez allegedly served as one of three lookouts who kept watch for cops as several MS-13 members used machetes to hack Pineda to death and bury him in a grave that had been dug a day earlier. One of the charges against him, murder in aid of racketeering, carries either a mandatory life sentence or the death penalty. Prosecutors haven’t yet decided whether to seek capital punishment.

Prior to his release, Morales-Lopez was serving a sentence of 3½ to 10½ years after pleading guilty to two counts of conspiracy in Nassau County in 2018. That conviction followed his arrest with 16 other reputed members and associates of MS-13 on charges that included murder, conspiracy to commit murder and drug trafficking. The allegations against Morales-Lopez involved conducting reconnaissance in New Jersey to find somewhere without any nearby surveillance cameras to kill a rival gang member, and discussing where to bury the victim’s body and how deep to dig the hole. Although he wasn’t supposed to be eligible for parole until April 8, records show he was granted a “merit release” that reduces the length of an inmate’s sentence by one-sixth. The perk is available to prisoners “who have exhibited an acceptable disciplinary history and have achieved significant programmatic benchmarks,” according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Service website. It’s unclear when he’s due back in court. Neither a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision nor Morales-Lopez’s defense lawyer returned requests for comment.

Kim Jong Un reportedly tours ‘socialist fairyland’ after typhoon destruction

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un paid his third visit to a typhoon-ravaged region to tour a “socialist fairyland” that was erected by soldiers in the wake of the destruction, state media reported Tuesday. Kim met with soldiers to praise them for helping quickly rebuild the Kangbuk-ri village in North Hwanghae Province, south of Pyongyang, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported. The state media outlet said soldiers had “removed all the traces of the natural disaster” and rebuilt the surrounding villages as a “socialist fairyland.” Kim was quoted as saying those in charge of the efforts were the “creators of all miracles on this land.” “The genuine might of the People’s Army lies not in the number of troops and the might of ammunitions but in their ardent love for their country and people and their mental power,” he said in a statement released by KCNA.

He was also photographed days earlier checking on a region hit hard by floods in the same province, which has seen three consecutive typhoons in recent weeks. The despot has been seen in public only a handful of times this year, fueling rumors that he’s either dead, in a coma or recovering from a botched heart operation. There’s also been speculation that photos of Kim were doctored or fake as online sleuths point to discrepancies in facial, hairline and dental features from earlier appearances.

Over 1,600 Uncounted New Jersey Ballots Discovered in a ‘Mislabeled’ Bin from July Primary

Over 1,600 primary ballots hailing from New Jersey’s Sussex County were discovered in a “mislabeled” bin last week and subsequently added to the final tally of the state’s July 7 primary results, according to Board of Elections Administrator Marge McCabe. Last week, officials discovered 1,666 ballots in a “mislabeled bin,” which remained in what the New Jersey Herald described as a “‘secure area’ at the board office.” Officials promptly alerted the state Attorney General’s office, and the ballots — which did not alter the outcome of the election — were included in the previous results: ''It was not immediately known how many of the misplaced ballots belonged to each local race. However, according to the Board of Elections, the newly tallied votes “did not change the outcome of any Sussex County primary election in any race for any office, Republican or Democrat.”'' “The Board of Elections is confident that all ballots received have been processed and the security of all the ballots has remained in place,” McCabe said in a statement. Officials have yet to explain how the ballots were misplaced, although the Herald added that the mistake “was perhaps the result of a unique election process caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a majority of county residents voting by mail and the Board of Elections temporarily relocating to count the votes.” All registered voters in the Garden State will automatically receive a mail-in ballot for November’s election. Each County Clerk’s office will mail out ballots by Monday, October 5.

Last month, Donald J. Trump for President, the New Jersey Republican State Committee, and the Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit over Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) executive order instituting mail-in voting for the upcoming election. “In his haste, the governor created a system that will violate eligible citizens’ right to vote,” the lawsuit stated. “By ordering universal vote-by-mail, he has created a recipe for disaster.” “Fraudulent and invalid votes dilute the votes of honest citizens and deprive them of their right to vote in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment,” it added. Mass vote-by-mail has come under scrutiny, as critics say it increases the chances of both voter fraud and error. In June, hundreds of New Jersey Republicans received misprinted mail-in primary ballots featuring Democrat candidates rather than Republican candidates. Reliance President Bob Fetterly attributed the mistake to “human error.”
