A 21-year-old Florida man was sentenced Monday to three and a half years in prison for firebombing a Southern California Planned Parenthood clinic in 2022, federal prosecutors said.
Xavier Batten pleaded guilty in January to one felony count of possessing an unregistered destructive device and one misdemeanor count of intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility.
U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney also sentenced Batten, of Brooksville, Florida, to three years of probation and ordered him to pay $1,000 in restitution, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Carney said Batten had committed a “cowardly crime” that showed “no empathy for women and their rights,” according to the statement. He has been in federal custody since July 2023.
That’s it??
3 years imprisonment for domestic terrorism

No imprisonment for this guy.3 years in prison PLUS 3 years probation.However, there were 3 people involved according to the article. We don’t know exactly how involved this one guy is.
edit: corrected my mistaken reading
And if this was a leftest that was protesting they probably throw the book at them. Howcome our entire justice system is right-wing and protects these fucking fascist?

It’s because the legislature is bought out by capitalists, right wing fascists have loaded up the courts with right wing judges, and the entire nation is built on a failed electoral system (part of which being a remnant of a comprimise with slavers).
Five years in a State-run luxury hotel for trying to overthrow the Government of Bavaria! But don’t worry, we’ll let you out after eight months.
This is by design. The US was built specifically to see to the needs of elite whites.
3 years doesn’t seem long enough…
He was 1 of 2 men that fire bombed the clinic. The other man got 9 years, I assume because he was the instigator.
3 shitty years?!! He must’ve been super light skined-ed.
Unclear from the article why someone got 9 years and someone else got 3 years.
Recognizance and how direct a hand they had in the crime, usually.
Last time i checked the penalty for treason is death…
I am not saying that what this guy did wasn’t horrible and violent. 3 years is a pathetic consequence for what amounts to a terror attack.
But how the fuck was this “treason”? I get that it’s trendy to call Conservatives traitors, but we can at least understand what the word means before we use it every time a conservative does something bad…
Furthermore, no crime should carry death as a penalty, because the government shouldn’t have that kind of power over their citizens, no matter what crime they commit.
I’m pretty sure Florida Man has been sentenced to a couple of millennia worth of prison time by now.
