Denzal Stewart admitted setting fire to a CTA van during riots downtown on May 30, 2020.
A federal judge handed down the longest prison sentence yet for torching a car in Chicago during the 2020 rioting following the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Judge Gary Feinerman on Monday sentenced Denzal Stewart to 3 years and 9 months for conspiracy to commit arson and civil disorder.
It’s a longer sentence than the nearly 3 years given to Timothy O’Donnell, who torched a police vehicle while wearing a Joker mask; and the 3 years’ probation given to Jacob Fagundo, a School of the Art Institute student who torched another police car during the riots.
Stewart had pleaded guilty to setting a CTA van on fire on May 30, 2020, on State Street just north of Van Buren.
So, what are the odds that these three thugs will “change”? That they will never again commit such violent acts, endangering innocent lives? Better than the left will ever admit. Maybe if he had worn a stupid buffalo hat, and waved a flag on January 6th he would have gotten a harsher sentence.
