I mean they threatened to kill children with a loaded shot gun in the worst terms possible. They deserve what they get and more. I also enjoy the tears of infinite sadness that they are being prosecuted with enhancements under a law that was created to fight gangs- which I’m sure fuckers like this fought for.

Yes, sweetheart.

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.

I’m rather annoyed by the news coverage. they seemed to be giving these racists the benefit of the doubt. Black people in trucks with confederate flags? as-fucking-if.

Imagine if this was reversed.

Yup. The irony is kind of delicious.

They talk like my abusive mom. “I never did that!!!!!!!” But you did and we all saw you.

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.

That and they’re claiming their sentences are unfair based on those that made deals. Except that’s the entire incentive in making a deal - you get a lighter sentence and the state doesn’t have to spend time and money trying you.

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

The reporting on this (obviously not here) in other outlets has made me insane. It says things like “confederate flag couple sentenced to prison time” or whatever, completely ignoring the fact these people terrorized and waived a gun at children at a birthday party!! I’ve seen so many comments like “yes, it’s bad, but…

Wait. That was their defense? That they weren’t the ones who threatened the partygoers? Man, fuck y’all. You rolled up six or seven cars deep into a mostly African-American neighborhood with Confederate flags flying from every single vehicle. You purposely went out looking for a fucking conflict, and when you noticed…

Also, maybe I’m reading the article incorrectly, but didn’t she actually do the stuff she is saying she would never do?

“I want y’all to know that that is not me,” Norton, referring to her previous behavior with the Respect the Flag group, tearfully told the courtroom. “That is not me. That is not [Torres].”

thats because racism has not only been legitimized, its been deemed patriotism.

Racists douchbag confederate flag-waving jagoff tears are the best tears

“I would never ...” = “I didn’t realize there would be consequences for my actions.” Which is why we are seeing an uptick in racist and anti-Semitic acts; people are getting the message that they can get away with it.

But you know she’d get it all dead wrong just like “Ironic”.

A speedy self-correction on the shade vs. read distinction. Shade court must be making a difference!

Suggestion: people will suddenly care more about the actual definition of shade if you get Alanis Morissette to write a song “about” it.
