we got the news today that his sentence is being reduced and he will be home soon. honestly im still in shock but i cant thank you enough for sticking with this when everyone else said it was a long shot.
An eighteen year old man has been sentenced to 32 months in jail for 'reckless endangerment'. We, the undersigned, may not condone the actions of this young man but believe that the sentence given was politically motivated and does not represent the crime committed.
Please sign the petition if you believe that the sentence given to Edward Woollard was unjust and unfair. Prison isno place for a man who recieved 30 'excellent' character references in court, after handing himself into the police and expressing huge regret for his actions.
All who have been a part of the student protests should stand by this man and support him during his time inside.
we are getting so high up in the numbers now and its really showing that people see how unfair this sentence is. if you can drop the link in a group chat or on your feed right now it would be a huge help to get us over this hump.

wild to see how many people realize this sentencing just doesnt sit right. feeling pretty overwhelmed by the response and knowing there are so many others out there who agree that this is way too harsh.

Poor kid. He made a stupid mistake but that sentence is way too harsh compared to what other people get for actual crimes.

30 character references speak for themselves. He isnt a hardened criminal. he took responsibility and deserves a break.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Politicians are just making an example out of him. Justice is dead.

32 months is a joke. the system is just trying to scare people from protesting. let the kid go home.

He handed himself in and showed real remorse. Locking him up for years is just spiteful. Free him now.
