A Franklin & Marshall College Kappa Delta sorority sister is one of nine people charged with crimes connected to the riots in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, last weekend. The girl's father on Tuesday blasted a judge's decision to set her bail at $1 million as "obscene" and unconstitutional
Kathryn Patterson, 20, faces felony and misdemeanor charges including arson, vandalism, riot, and disorderly conduct after her arrest early Monday. She was allegedly a participant in the protests over the fatal police shooting of Ricardo Munoz, who according to bodycam footage chased a police officer with a knife in a threatening manner.
Patterson is a Black Lives Matter supporter, posting on Facebook "BLM, all day every day" and commenting, "my left fist, to symbolize black power."
The girl's father, Chip Patterson of Mercersburg, called the $1 million bail set by the district judge "obscene."
"Everything that I know so far, which is not a lot, indicates that Kat is not guilty of those charges. But then again, we'll have to wait and see," he told the Associated Press.
"I cannot tell you how long this night has been," he said. "I think regardless of what these people did or didn't do, the bail amount is just outrageous and clearly against the Eighth Amendment." The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits "excessive bail."
Patterson's defenders say she and her friend Taylor Enterline, another individual who was arrested by police, were doing nothing more than acting as "medics" before they were arrested. The social justice advocacy group Lancaster Stands Up characterized the "absurdly high bail amounts" as "a politically motivated attack on the movement for police reform and accountability."
A GoFundMe page set up for Patterson has received support from the Franklin & Marshall College chapter of Delta Kappa, members of the Black Student Union, and as reported by the Washington Free Beacon's Brent Scher, even the college president Barbara Altmann thanked students for creating the GoFundMe, posting on Instagram that "many of us in our community will be contributing."
Kat was providing medical attention to injured demonstrators and has now been wrongfully accused of crimes she could not possibly commit," the page states. "We as members of the Black Student Union and Kappa Delta Sorority, have created this fund to raise money to support Kat and her family."
The fundraiser has so far raise just over $54,000 toward its goal of $60,000.
An update to the page also urges donors to support the GoFundMe pages for "activists and friends" Enterline and Alexa Wise, a "Black Trans Activist" who was also arrested on charges of arson, riot, and vandalism.
The rotten apple did not fall far from the tree.....
Dad needs to take a second mortgage out on his house. Max out credit cards, etc. It’s for his chillin!!!!!
Dad raised his daughter to be as stupid as him clearly.

Parents responsible for what arseholes their children turn out to be ...
Not taking responsibility for criminal behavior - probably the lesson this ‘parent’ brought about upon its child.
Yes, it is.
I have been saying it for some time. Women seem to be disproportionally involved in this Black Lives Matter madness.
Especially young women
You get a sprinkling of soy boys and older wanna be hippie guys, and some older women, but...mostly young women.
I heard it because many of them are just emotionally dried up and their future prospects for happiness are just gone...they aren't going to find it in a mate, and they aren't going to find it in God.
Government becomes their God.
Not exactly, agent man someone would have to come up with 10% that they would never get back...
Bonding companies dont work for free, and they are not cheap
I dated Dr. Mudd’s great great granddaughter when I lived in Maryland. There may or may not have been another “Great” in there.
I found his story to be an interesting one. I don’t think he was a bad man.
Saw her pic-guilty. If she was a schoolteacher I’d say not but only if I was her prized pupil..
dont have a problem with high bonds for terrorist thugs
dont care about gender or age
From this guy’s pathetic plea, I can see exactly why his spawn has turned out the way she has.
What you say reminds me of a female caller to Rush Limbaugh on thursday. She told him that she was a liberal once in her 20s. Now she’s a conservative and married and has a family.
Rush asked her what changed her. She responded that even though she was a liberal, she (along with most liberal girls) always preferred to date conservative guys.
“Well, what’s wrong with liberal guys?” Rush asked.
“They are too wimpy and soft”
But in this day and age I was reading the paper and happen to pass thru the dating section and saw a lot of “No Trump supporters” or “I hate Trump” as a PS at the end of their dating ad.
The liberals have become so intolerant that they have emotionally dried themselves up and their own future prospects for happiness.
His daughter is a terrorist.
BWAHAHaAa!! Just noticed the Poser thing. It was meant to be power.
That fills my heart with sadness. They have no hope of real happiness.
By looking at the faculty photos, it has to be the ‘whitest’ school I’ve ever seen.
The dad is an enabler.
“The dad is an enabler.”
The dad is a Franenstein who created a monster.
