An arsonist who lit a Minneapolis cell phone store on fire and hurled explosives at police during a violent riot in May 2020 was sentenced to nearly nine years in prison Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced. A federal court in Minnesota convicted Matthew Lee Rupert of arson, intent to incite, organize and carry out a riot and civil disorder charges. Video footage shows Rupert asked for lighter fluid before entering a Sprint store's back room where he told those nearby that he located the store's safe, according to court documents. With the help of others, Rupert pushed boxes into a pile on the ground, which he covered in lighter fluid before directing someone else to set it on fire. He then escaped from the building saying "I lit it on fire!"

Rupert drove "more than 400 miles from his home in Illinois to Minnesota to engage in violence and destruction, all while broadcasting it for the world to see," Acting U.S. Attorney W. Anders Folk said in the Department of Justice. Matthew Rupert, 29, of Galesburg, Ill., has been sentenced to nearly 9 years in federal prison after being convicted for his role in the Minneapolis BLM-Antifa riots last year. He handed out explosives & set a store on fire. This is the longest sentence for a BLM rioter
