This is particularly bad news not just for the two policeman who were murdered and their families.

It is also our duty to protect the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Is that war drums I’m hearing from the Potomac River?

I believe so.

It effects all of us in that the police provide the thin blue line protecting those in blue states that their tyrannical governments impose upon them.

Let’s not forget there are lot of good people living/forced to live in these areas who are constantly in a state of terror.

Dylan Shakespeare Robinson will spend four years behind bars and pay $12 million in restitution for his role in burning down a police station.

It happened during a May 2020 riot that was one of many violent incidents the establishment media repeatedly deemed “mostly peaceful protests” — and his sentence exposes the media lie for what it was.

The 23-year-old man from Brainerd, Minnesota, previously pleaded guilty for helping set fire to the Third Precinct of the Minneapolis Police Department but was sentenced Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

Robinson will serve his time in federal prison plus two years of supervised release in addition to coughing up the hefty sum, though his lawyer claimed “there is no realistic chance” he will be able to pay it.

According to the federal complaint, Robinson allegedly helped rip down a perimeter fence and lit the Molotov cocktail that another person threw at the building, setting it ablaze.

“On the night of May 28, 2020, Mr. Robinson chose to depart from lawful protest and instead engaged in violence and destruction,” Anders Folk, acting U.S. Attorney, said in a Minnesota Department of Justice news release.

“The arson at the Minneapolis Police Department’s Third Precinct put lives at risk and contributed to widespread lawlessness in Minneapolis,” Folk continued.

“With today’s sentence, Mr. Robinson is held accountable for his actions.”

Hundreds of people had gathered and many began chanting “Burn it down, burn it down” at the time Robinson and his co-conspirators breached the perimeter fence and threw the incendiary device.

Three others in connection with the incident have also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit arson but have yet to be sentenced.

Do you think Robinson’s sentence was fair?

Following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody on May 25 of last year, many protests sprang up in major cities with several of them turning violent and destructive — not just for one night, but sometimes for several nights in an unending siege.

It was the height of coronavirus hysteria with many cities completely shut down for commerce, yet thousands were permitted to flood city streets for these protests often under the Black Lives Matter banner.

As the summer unrest raged on and the violence escalated, the establishment media never wavered from downplaying these incidents with their claims that these violent uprisings were “mostly peaceful protests.”
