"A man who set a deadly fire in a Minneapolis pawn shop during the 2020 George Floyd riots was spared a murder charge and sentenced to just 10 years after federal prosecutors invoked Martin Luther King Jr. and asked the judge to show leniency."
"Thousands of people gathered in the area of 38th and Chicago Avenue to protest the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. Following the mostly peaceful protests that occurred on that night, the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and some surrounding communities, endured three nights of violence and destruction."
"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.” In light of these circumstances, the analysis of the Guidelines does not appear appropriate."

Oh they mean the nigger riots.
