Put a Period to that Sentence

 December 30, 2021


Last July, I wrote about Joshua Williams, who was sentenced to 8 years for participation in the Ferguson riots. He committed vandalism, but didn't kill anybody. Prosecutors asked for 15 years, but he got 8.


Lately I've been reading about other sentences handed down: Almost 4 years for a man involved in one of the most violent attacks on police during the Capitol riot; 10 years for a member of a notorious drug gang.


To the best of my knowledge, Joshua Williams is still doing time for smashing a window, stealing some chips, and setting a trash can on fire.
