A couple who threw firebombs at a Michael Knowles event at the University of Pittsburgh was sentenced to prison and fines.
A couple who threw firebombs at a Michael Knowles event at the University of Pittsburgh was sentenced to prison and $50,000 in fines Monday. Brian and Krystal DiPippa entered a plea deal with federal courts after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy and obstruction of law enforcement. Brian DiPippa will spend five years in prison, followed by three years of supervision.
Krystal DiPippa was sentenced to three years of probation and 240 hours of community service to 'restorative justice' causes. The couple is also required to pay $47,284 to a Pitt police officer who suffered a spinal injury during the incident, along with $1,400 to the Pitt Police Department to cover damages to equipment and uniforms. The injured officer gave a statement during the hearing Monday, saying, 'I woke up on April 18 with the intent of helping and serving the community in any way that I could,' 'Brian DiPippa woke up that morning with the sole purpose to attack and harm police officers,' he said. Approximately 30 people attended the sentencing hearing to show support for the DiPippas, many carrying small trans flags as a nod to the Knowles event on transgenderism. The event was a debate between conservative Michael Knowles and libertarian Brad Polumbo on transgenderism and whether it should be regulated by law. Protesters also set a picture of Knowles on fire
