Starbucks-bashing rioter sentenced

A judge has sentenced the latest person to plead guilty in the Stanley Cup riot.

Richard MacMillan, now 27 years old, will serve six months in the community and one year probation.

The judge sternly cautioned MacMillan he will only stay out of jail if a number of conditions are held up, including not associating with any kind of drugs or alcohol and staying out of Starbucks.

MacMillan smashed a Starbucks window an hour into the riot, later telling police he saw it as an opportunity to show his contempt for the large corporation.

The judge says MacMillan’s family history and mental conditions were mitigating factors in sentencing.
