George Floyd’s Fentanyl overdose-death in police custody ignited an opportunity for outrage, destruction, and violence in the name of a career criminal and black lives in general. Not the lives harmed, ruined, or ended by the protests, but other black lives.
Democrats took this opportunity to pander to presumed constituencies in the run-up to a presidential election. They pissed off cops by bad-mouthing and defunding them. They pissed off the black community by letting criminals and hooligans destroy their businesses and homes. It got out of hand.
Wesley Somers took the opportunity to try and burn down the Nashville Metro Courthouse (City Hall). With past arrests for domestic assault and attempted child neglect, this genius engaged in his act of arson shirtless.
Somers wasn’t the only “vandal” on the scene. Peaceful protesters were spraying graffiti and breaking windows, but eyewitnesses identified Wesley from his “WILD CHILD” and “HARD 2 Love” tattoos.
Domestic assault and attempted child neglect, you say?
UPDATE: Wesley Somers was sentenced today to 5 years in federal prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release for setting fire to Nashville's Historic Courthouse following protests on 5/30/20. The @USAO_MDTN adopted the case on 6/3/20.

Wesley is what you’d call a white ally in the parlance of the time. Any number of individuals, over the summer of 2020, stormed, attacked, burned, occupied, and pillaged government buildings, but very few of them were charged or did time. And they never received the level of attention or harassment that the J6 “protesters” got for walking into a building and taking selfies.
Those arrested during the BLM riots protests were either released, got bail, and disappeared, or were never charged by liberal AGs.
This poor bastard just picked the wrong government to ravage.
This dope is actually going to jail.
But hey, it looks like he was wearing a mask when he tried to burn down the Nashville Metro Courthouse.
