minus-squareyesman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up63arrow-down3·5 months agoHe threw two Molotov cocktails at a an empty church. Causing “damage” with no injuries. He got a plea deal, admitting to two felonies: committing a church arson hate crime and using fire and explosives to commit a felony. So this was elevated because of the bigoted and terroristic nature of the crime. 18 years is a significant and appropriate sentence.
