A Minnesota man accused of killing a high school hockey coach with a single punch during a dispute over social distancing was sentenced to seven years of probation on Monday, according to reports.
On Monday, 45-year-old Ryan John Whisler was sentenced to seven years of probation for 48-year-old Mike Ryan’s death, FOX 9 in Minneapolis reported.
Whisler originally faced second-degree murder charges but pleaded guilty in May to first-degree manslaughter while committing fifth-degree assault.
As part of his probation, Whisler must complete a year at the Ramsey County Workhouse, attend therapy for two years, go to anger management, complete an alcohol abuse program, not drink while on probation and volunteer weekly for two years at a non-profit restorative justice program or government agency.

I know of people in Indiana that got much more serious sentences for fraud.
That was second degree murder. That should have been worth at least a decade.
Was the assailant a trained boxer?
Or no, just a dude who didn’t know he had it in him.
Hes not even going to jail for killing another person.
I see, the person he killed was just a man. If he had killed a woman Minnesota would have instituted the death penalty just for him.
I hope he receives actual true justice sometime during those 7 years he’s “on probation”.
Oh he might be a trans man, always a possibility these days in a state like Minnesota. “He” may still have a working v-card for those tough legal situations.
He must “volunteer weekly for two years at a non-profit restorative justice program.”
“Restorative justice” is such a joke. My sister had that at her school for violent high school students.
This story is an effective reminder to NEVER argue and fight with a stranger in a bar room. That’s what happened here and because of it a man died and another man’s life is ruined.
He’s a degenerate drunk. We’ll be reading about him again. Soon.
Meanwhile, the cops who DIDN’T kill Saint George Floyd of Fentanyl rot in prison.
"huhwha?"
The guy did not get probation, a 1year and a day in the county workfarm(low level jail)
He and Derek Chauvin, same result, causing someone’s death through negligence. Same state, Minnesota. Different penalties, probation vs. 22.5 years.
Minnesota needs to become part of Canada.
Minnesota man who killed hockey coach with single punch invited to Maple Leaf training camp
needs to be sued civilly now for every penny he has and will ever have.
the coach must have been a white, straight republican. His life is not worth anything, move on.
Hardly an eye for an eye.
Ha ha.
Ten bucks says that this guy is the love child of The Big Guy.
