A man who tried to burn down a high school during the Black Lives Matter riots in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s death was sentenced to just five years of probation alongside a hefty fine for restitution of the partially burnt building.
Mohamed Hussein Abdi pleaded guilty in a St. Paul, Minnesota courtroom on Thursday to conspiracy to commit arson in relation to the May 28, 2020 fire, which occurred just three days after Floyd’s death on May 25, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.
The 20-year-old will also have to pay over $34,000 to Gordon Parks High School, court documents state.
Abdi was arrested one month after attempting to burn the high school down in June 2020.
The Anti-Defamation League received widespread criticism over the past week after it came out they changed the definition of “racism” so that only white people could be labeled as racist.
During the Black Lives Matter riots in the wake of Floyd’s death, there was $500 million worth of damage done and more than 1,500 business damaged or destroyed in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area alone.
Abdi allegedly gained entry to the building through a glass door that had been broken amid the BLM riots, with security footage showing him pouring liquid from a container onto the school’s cafeteria floor and a nearby trash can.
Abdi then reportedly used a piece of fabric that had been doused in the flammable substance before setting the trash can on fire, which subsequently spread throughout part of the high school.
