A Minnesota man has been fined $12 million for helping set fire to a police station during a protest last summer following the death of George Floyd.

Dylan Shakespeare Robinson, 23, pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. He was accused of lighting a Molotov cocktail that another person threw at the Third Precinct headquarters in Minneapolis.

He now faces four years in prison and a whopping fine for the damages to the police station -- a penalty Robinson’s lawyer argues he will never be able to pay.

"On the night of May 28, 2020, Mr. Robinson chose to depart from lawful protest and instead engaged in violence and destruction," acting U.S. Attorney Anders Folk said, according to KSTP. "With today’s sentence, Mr. Robinson is held accountable for his actions."

Burns a building, riots....4 years. Walkthrough capital, don’t destroy anything... face 10. All those people are still in DC jail held without bail. Most were nonviolent and did not destroy anything

I have to say what a pointless penalty, he hardly looks as though he has any money let alone $12m?! Send him to prison forever instead!

[gundog]

Good play, Shakespeare.

Little f’n punk will be a treat in prison.

Start a Go Fund Me Page. See if BLLM can raise that money, heck the BLM ;eader in California spend 6 million on her personal residence in Topanga Canyon, 12 million should be a breeze!

Black Lives Matter needs to start looking after its cannon fodder!

Did he ever wash his face?

[ronnie raygun]

Juan Williams sez it never happened. The parents should foot the bill for a new station. What ever happened to the parents responsibility for their mentally unstable offspring they brought into this world

[newnhdad]

yeah, sure he’ll pay it.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The administration of a public caning ought to accompany his sentence.

[mad_as_he$$]

So they went after the white fool first - got it.

[HighSierra5]

In monopoly money.

Who are his parents? If they're not rich will Apple and Walmart pay the bill as they pay for Black lives matters the organization?

[Patriot Babe]

Good God!!! He looks like a school shooter.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I was thinking school teacher.

[dearolddad]

Did he ever wash his face?

The answer is NO. Doesn't look as though he is familiar with a comb either.

“Robinson’s lawyer argues he will never be able to pay.”

Come on guys, have a little confidence in the boy!

[BlackAdderess]

So, one guy eh? Out of all that mess. Guess they don’t want to risk disillusionment in too much of the cannon fodder too soon. Wonder if this one is going to convert to Islam in prison, or if he’ll figure things out and stop being an idiot.

[tired&retired]

Ok, so he lit it and someone else threw it.

What happened to that someone else who threw it?

[tired&retired]

“As part of his sentence, he will serve two years of supervised release and must pay $12 million in restitution.”

He was the first of the group to be sentenced.

Co-conspirators Bryce Michael Williams, 27, Davon De-Andre Turner, 25, and Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, also pleaded guilty under plea agreements to one count each of conspiracy to commit arson for their individual roles in igniting the precinct fire. They have yet to be sentenced.
