So the Powers-That-Be decided to make an example out of him. Well nobody saw that coming, eh? Well here’s the lesson then: hear something, say something …or else. A good reason to encourage your radical friends, acquaintances and/or family members to keep their own counsel…I told you not to tell me that!… La, La, La, La…

One the up side he’ll have some time to work on his physique and purge his system of all the poisons. He won’t be such a doughy looking white guy when he comes out.

“Joey Meek cried at sentencing Tuesday in Charleston by the same federal judge who presided over Roof's trial, which ended in January with Roof being sentenced to death for the slaughter of nine people at Emanuel AME church.”

"I'm really, really sorry. A lot of beautiful lives were taken," said Meek, who began to cry at sentencing.”

“Meek had faced 27 to 33 months behind bars.

“U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel said he hoped the sentence would serve as a deterrent for anyone in the future who learns of something so serious and fails to come forward to authorities. He added that Meek was fortunate another massacre didn't occur because of the delay in identifying Roof.”

“No family members of the victims spoke at sentencing.”

“Meek said Roof shared his plan to shoot blacks at the historic African-American church in Charleston during a night at Meek's house where they drank vodka, snorted cocaine, smoked marijuana and played video games. Authorities said that was about a week before the June 17, 2015, killings.”

“Meek signed a deal with prosecutors in 2016, agreeing to plead guilty to lying to authorities and failure to report a crime. Federal prosecutors said he had lied to the FBI by first denying Roof shared his plan. Authorities said he also had stopped a friend from calling police after hearing about the shooting to report Roof as a suspect. Gergel previously ruled that Meek could only be sentenced for what he did after the slayings, not for any inaction beforehand. Meek's "failure to make an earlier report is tragic and deeply regrettable, but his failure to report was not a violation of federal criminal law," the judge had written earlier.”

“Meek also had agreed to help prosecutors as part of his 2016 deal. But they never called him during Roof's trial, in which Roof acted as his own lawyer for much of the proceedings and put up almost no defense. Then just before Meek was initially set to be sentenced last month, prosecutors asked for a stiffer sentence than guidelines recommended, seeking to make an example of him and reflect the seriousness of the crime that Meek could have stopped if he'd picked up the phone.”
