For rioting where the defendant's role was comparable to co-defendants, a 15‑month starting point was appropriate; allow a four‑month reduction for restrictive EM bail conditions and a three‑month reduction for a guilty plea producing an eight‑month term, and convert that term to six months community detention (with an 8:00 pm–4:30 am curfew) given continued full‑time employment and prior compliance with EM bail; no community work imposed due to demanding employment.
