Central Figure in 2020 Anti-Cop Riot in Minneapolis Going to Prison
 

By Carl Prine | December 30, 2021

A central figure in a 2020 anti-cop rampage in Minnesota will spend the next eight years behind bars.

On Wednesday, Dec. 29, US District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz sentenced Victor Devon Edwards to 100 months in a federal prison. When he gets out, the St. Paul man faces two years of supervised release and must pay $941,682.28 in restitution for the destruction he caused at the Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis.

A federal jury convicted Edwards, 32, of riot and arson on Aug. 12, 2021.

Edwards’ troubles with federal law enforcement began on the evening of Aug. 26, 2020, shortly after he drove from St. Paul to the mall.

Don't give any parole.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
