Racist couple off to prison

We know.

Those sentences are way too excessive.

im trying to corner the market on meth distribution and my whole business plan depends on breaking them out of jail. Suggestions appreciated.

Louie threatens crackers from the mothership with Nubian death rays. He has plausible deniability that you just don't get from pointing guns at people from the back of a pickup truck .

Sound like they got sentenced for being sub-moronic, IMO.

No they are not.

"Douglas Assistant District Attorney David Emadi detailed how the group had gone on a drunken rampage through Douglas and Paulding counties on July 24 and July 25, 2015, in pickup trucks laden with Confederate battle flags.

Emadi said the group threatened black motorists, yelled at them and walked up to one of their cars with a gun. They also threatened African-American shoppers at a Paulding County Wal-Mart and at a convenience store.

“Many good people in Paulding County saw you for what you are,” McClain said before he handed down the sentences. “Everywhere you went, 911 call centers were flooded with calls.”

McClain then quoted one of the callers.

‘“I want to report a hate crime,’” he said."

The next bunch of assholes needs to be more careful.

Hopefully you'll ponder for a moment and ask yourself if you believe those sentences would have been to excessive had those been black people driving pointing shotguns at white people.

This happened less than a month after that arse shot 9 black people in a Charleston church. You have to wonder if this drunken rampage were not celebrating that event.

I don't believe it would have been excessive. I don't believe those sentences would even exist.

I feel no sympathy for them. But when compared to violent crimes with people injured, killed, raped, etc, they got more than a typical murder or rape.

I usually disagree with you but in this case I agree with you 100%.

I also have no sympathy for what they did to all those black people and they should spend some time in jail but 15 and 20 years is too much time.

If they had actually fired a shot at someone then they should be charged with attempted murder and get sentenced for doing that.

Does anyone know what the sentence is for attempted murder in that state?

If they didn't fire a shot then they should have been charged with threatening someone with a firearm and given whatever the maximum sentence is for doing that but I doubt it's 15-20 years.

Does anyone know what the sentence is for threatening someone with a firearm is in that state?

Of course they could be charged with multiple counts of threatening someone with a firearm since they drove around and threatened several black people so maybe that would mean they could be sentenced to more jail time than if they threatened only one person with a firearm and that might add up to 15-20 years.

However, it seems that the judge probably decided to give both of them stiff sentences so they will be an example of what will happen to anyone else who is thinking about doing something similar.
