Biden DOJ coddles BLM arsonist and murderer

Biden DOJ Recommended Reduced Sentence for BLM Arson Killer for Incredible Reason

...

 As the prosecutors themselves admit in their sentencing memo, the guidelines would suggest a sentence of 235-240 months (19.5 to 20 years). Lee had prior convictions for burglary, assault, violation of no-contact order, and theft of property, including assaulting a woman and rupturing her eardrum. Yet the longest sentence he had ever previously received, according to the prosecutors, was 60 days.

...

But, the Biden DOJ recommended instead that he get a sentence of only 144 months, or 12 years.

Why? The reason is infuriating.

There appear also to have been many people who felt angry, frustrated, and disenfranchised, and who were attempting, in many cases in an unacceptably reckless and dangerous manner, to give voice to those feelings. Mr. Lee appears to be squarely in this latter category. And even the great American advocate for non-violence and social justice, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated in an interview with CBC’s Mike Wallace in 1966 that “we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard.” [….]

Mr. Lee was terribly misguided, and his actions had tragic, unthinkable consequences. But he appears to have believed that he was, in Dr. King’s eloquent words, engaging in ‘the language of the unheard.’

They counted the raising of the fist in Lee’s favor, claiming that showed that he didn’t do it for “personal gain,” such as money. But, radical political gain is cool for the Biden Administration and counts as a positive. They gave him credit for admitting he set the fire, but he also formally objected to any responsibility for Stewart’s death.

...

Lucky for Lee that he did not riot in the Capitol Building to express "the language of the unheard." 

BTW:

...

Then even though they recommended a sentence that was eight years fewer than what the guidelines suggested, the judge, U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright gave him only 10 years, with three years of supervised release. Wright is one of the people considered to be on Biden’s list for SCOTUS to replace Justice Stephen Breyer.
