She would never “walk up” to them (unarmed, on foot, unaccompanied by other racists). But she sure as shit would and did, all armored up and surrounded by idiots.

She says that because she wants people to believe that her actions were not consistent with her character. That somehow a kind, considerate, thoughtful person found herself screaming obscenities and threateneing to kill people because they are of a different race. This is of course bullshit. You don’t magically end up…

To be fair, only 4 out of at least 12 rednecks were charged.

Yup. Cops would be like ‘stand your ground’ or ‘defend your homestead’ or other racist bullshit that means ‘nothing to see here.’ Bigots would throw them a fundraiser to have a bigger and better birthday party. And Trump would work it into a speech: “Chicago has come to Georgia, people.”

And yeah she would never walk up to a black person and say those things one-on-one because she’d be chicken, but she sure as hell does it when she is with a gang of like minded people. When she is protected by idiots in confederate flag pickup trucks she can let her true nature come out.

They also brought guns, and claimed they were worried about their own friends’ safety....you know, the friends who went out of their way to intimidate others and scare them. THOSE were the ones needing protection.

“The reporting on this (obviously not here) in other outlets has made me insane.”

That is what got me when I saw it on the news. “I am so sorry that happened to you.” not, “I am so sorry I was a horrible asshole of a person who did that to you.” She’s not sorry at all for her personal actions. She is just sorry she got caught and punished.

Yes, sweetheart.

It’s so normalized that the victim here (Alford) isn’t even complaining about the Confederate flags themselves. That poor woman— nobody should have to get used to such a thing, to the point where you publicly claim to be OK with it.

You missed the context of the thread you’re participating in. Racists feel comfortable threatening minorities these days, which is why they didn’t expect any punishment.

I have negative sympathy for these people. Actions have consequences, and your crocodile tears aren’t going to get you a thing, except for even more of my scorn. These racist hillbilly motherfuckers can go dry-fuck a rusty knife.

Still wondering how “Jose Torres” thinks he would get into any white supremacist organization

Their entire intent was to create fear, to show this family, even in their own home they are not safe. Even at a child’s bday party. Fuck them. I drink their tears like i do Holtzclaw’s. Cry you sociopathic morons, cry for your inability to get off scott free. At least the system got it barely right this time.

Imagine if this was reversed.

Yup. The irony is kind of delicious.

This is the silver lining in this awful story for me. I am completely amazed that Georgia pursued this case, used these laws to convict, and actually gave hefty sentences to these assholes.

“I’m so sorry that happened to you” as if it were a fucking act of god. I’m so glad these people are going to jail.

six years on one count of violating Georgia’s street gang act
