Quote:Conservatives are outraged after two people charged with burning down a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta in the summer of 2020 were fined just $500 each.


Prosecutors said Chisom Kingston, Natalia Hanna White and John Wesley Wade set a fire that destroyed the Wendy's in June 2020 amid protests sparked by the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old Black man, by a police officer during an encounter outside the restaurant.

Kingston and White accepted plea deals on Thursday, just days before they were set to go on trial, WSB-TV reported. Both pleaded guilty to charges including arson in the first degree.

They will each have to pay a $500 fine, complete 150 hours of community service and serve five years of probation, according to the local station. Wade remains in federal custody.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, took to social media to rail against their sentences, comparing it to the punishments meted out to those charged with offenses related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by supporters of former president Donald Trump.
"J6'ers are being locked up for years for walking in the Capitol and some never walked inside at all, but the guys who plead guilty to arson and burned down the Wendy's in Atl in 2020 BLM riots only have to pay a $500 fine!!!" Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter.


Representative Mike Collins, a Republican of Georgia's 10th congressional district, wrote: "I'm sure a lot of J6 trespassers would love to pay $500 and go home. If only they had burned down a building, maybe."

Quote:This world is nuts, man.



January 6th protesters are being thrown in prison for years at a time; Donald Trump was indicted in August in Fulton county for attempting to overthrow the 2020 election; and now, in that same county, two BLM rioters who literally burned down a Wendy's as part of their 2020 demonstration are getting zero jail time, just probation and fines, for their crime.
Zero jail time for burning down a restaurant on purpose.
Our country is not a serious country.
