Lets consider reality and logic
What started this was a judge ordering a couple fo citizens to serve MORE time on a sentence they ALREADY SERVED.
Blacks - They are anti-government and are demanding crazy things like the BLM state of the Union. Nothing but entitlement. Instead of taking their anti-govt frustrations out on the govt, they interrupt INNOCENT CIVILIANS lives. They block freeways and malls etc they call for people to kill cops and "burn this mutha down"
Muslims - what would they be protesting?
Institutionalized discrimination? Well that isn't possible.
People speaking their mind? Exercising their Constitutionally granted rights?
Yea, I totally see the point in this OP.
By law, arson on federal land carries a five-year mandatory minimum sentence. When the Hammonds were originally sentenced, they argued that the five-year mandatory minimum terms were unconstitutional and the trial court agreed and imposed sentences well below what the law required based upon the jury’s verdicts. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, however, upheld the federal law, reasoning that “given the seriousness of arson, a five-year sentence is not grossly disproportionate to the offense.” The court vacated the original, unlawful sentences and ordered that the Hammonds be resentenced “in compliance with the law.” In March 2015, the Supreme Court rejected the Hammonds’ petitions for certiorari. Today, Chief Judge Aiken imposed five year prison terms on each of the Hammonds, with credit for time they already served.

Obviously the first judge sentenced them without knowing the law.
