On Wednesday, a 23-year-old man was sentenced to four years in prison and two years of supervised release for his role in setting the fire, federal prosecutors announced.
The man, Dylan Shakespeare Robinson of Brainerd, Minn., about 120 miles north of Minneapolis, was also ordered to pay $12 million in restitution. Mr. Robinson pleaded guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to commit arson. Three other men who also pleaded guilty to participating in the burning of the police building will be sentenced at a later date, according to the office of Anders Folk, acting U.S. attorney in the District of Minnesota.
Federal officials said in a criminal complaint last year, that in surveillance video at the precinct house, Mr. Robinson “appears to light an incendiary device” held by another person, who later throws it at the building. Mr. Robinson was also captured on video setting a fire inside the police station, near a first floor stairwell, according to the complaint.
Other evidence cited in the complaint came from a Snapchat account that federal officials said was used by Mr. Robinson. In one video from that account that night, “an unidentified female voice can be heard saying ‘Dylan,’” the complaint said. Later, that Snapchat account typed a message in the comments section of a video: “We need gasoline.”
Mr. Mauzy said officials later identified nearly four dozen separate places of origin for the fire that engulfed the station. “That’s a lot of different people setting fires at various spots in a police station,” he said. “Mr. Robinson was unfortunately one of the few who was captured on video and identified.”

The sentence probably should have been longer, but how does an ordinary person pay $12 million in restitution? That’s three to six times more than the average person earns in a lifetime?
and he is 23. paying for the rest of his life.
I think they can only take something like 10% of your income, but im not sure.
The article didn’t have a picture. The NY Post one does. Poor lil’ guy....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I’m willing to bet Mr Robinson, soon to become a human toilet in state prison, thought this day would ever come. Can’t imagine what his life is going to be like. Oh wait, I can imagine.
I’m betting his folks are identifying or trying to, at least, folks in the prison that he’ll be in that they can fill their commissary accounts, pay off fines, buy cars, buy houses, pay rent, take care of their families on the outside, or anything else they can think of, so they can buy some protection for their soon to be “human toilet of a son”.

“That’s a lot of different people setting fires at various spots in a police station,” he said. “Mr. Robinson was unfortunately one of the few who was captured on video and identified.”
Of course, out of the question is a nationwide dragnet and intensive investigation as was deployed for the minimally damaging January 6 demonstration at the Capitol.
His parents should get a couple years for giving him that Goofy name...
Juan Williams says, no, did not happen.
Wonder what other organizations these jackalopes are members of...
The same day these guys were trying to burn down the police station, the UN issued this idiotic statement:
George Floyd’s Family Petitions United Nations to Help Disarm Police in the United States

The family of George Floyd, the black man killed while in police custody in Minneapolis on Memorial Day, has sent a letter to the globalist United Nations to ask for its help in disarming police officers in the United States of America.
The family’s legal team facilitated the letter, which was sent on Wednesday, according to NBC News:
The group sent a letter on June 3 to one of the international body’s working groups asking for support for the end of the provision of military equipment and military-type training for police, the teaching of deescalation techniques, independent prosecutions and autopsies for “extrajudicial” police killings, and more.
“When a group of people of any nation have been systemically deprived of their universal human right to life by its government for decades, it must appeal to the international community for its support and to the United Nations for its intervention,” Floyd’s family attorney Ben Crump said in a press release.
The U.N. issued a statement on May 28, three days after Floyd’s death, and included the names of other black people in the U.S. who died in police custody. Michelle Bachelet, U.N. Commissioner on Human Rights, is quoted in the statement, which says, in part:
“This is the latest in a long line of killings of unarmed African Americans by U.S. police officers and members of the public,” Bachelet said. “I am dismayed to have to add George Floyd’s name to that of Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and many other unarmed African Americans who have died over the years at the hands of the police — as well as people such as Ahmaud Arbery and Trayvon Martin who were killed by armed members of the public.”
“The US authorities must take serious action to stop such killings, and to ensure justice is...

Wonder if he’s shaving yet?
I believe the name a parent gives a child tells a lot about what kind of parent she will be.

Burning of Police Station
There ya go.
I think they prefer them not to. He’s gonna find out soon enough. Ha ha ha
He’s judgement proof. He’ll probably end up paying nothing because he has nothing.
Dylan Shakespeare Robinson I bet naming him, his parents dreamed of him making a mark on the world while in a pot smoking induced fog
