Actually no, scratch that - he shot multiple BLM but got no prison time at all (only the time already served)

The man who shot two people while aiming at a Jeep that drove into a crowd of protesters on Interstate 225 in the summer of 2020 was sentenced Tuesday to 120 days in jail followed by five years probation.

Samuel Young, 24, earlier this year was convicted of seven felonies — two counts of second-degree assault, four counts of attempted manslaughter and a single count of illegally discharging his gun — after he fired five shots during a protest against police violence in Aurora on July 25, 2020.

Eighteenth Judicial District Judge Ben Leutwyler said he considered sending Young to prison but decided probation better served the interest of justice, citing Young’s community service, remorse and lack of a criminal record, as well as the broader backdrop of that summer’s nationwide movement for social justice.

He called Young’s actions “horrific,” and said he struggled to find the appropriate sentence.

“I’ve struggled since the day the jury returned their verdict,” he said. “This has been an unusual case… I all too often see folks who are repeat offenders. You have no criminal history. You are a young person, 24 years old, well-educated, you have a history of helping others, you’re needed at home. And you shot wholly indiscriminately into a crowd of hundreds of people.
