The Other Josh

 January 12, 2021

 

Josh Hawley inflamed rioters at the Capitol by pretending to believe that the election was stolen from President Trump. People died as the result of the riots. Some people are mad at Josh.

Joshua Williams was at a protest caused by the killing of a Black man in December of 2014. He helped loot a store, stole some gum and a bag of chips, and set a trash can on fire.

Prosecutors recommended 15 years in prison for the 18-year-old. He was sentenced to 8, and is still in prison.

One man contributes to deaths, and people are outraged. He remains unfazed and unapologetic.

 

Another man protests deaths and does something stupid, but doesn’t kill anybody. He remains in jail.
