No. The man had three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two other counts, one related to making terroristic threats and one related to Georgia's anti-gang law.

For hate speech? We don't have hate speech crimes in the US. WTF?
quote:
Assistant District Attorney David Emadi detailed how the group had gone on a drunken, two-county rampage in pick-up trucks laden with Confederate battle flags through Paulding and Douglas counties on July 24 - 25, 2015.
quote:I mean maybe the sentence is exteme, but if BLM or some Muslim group went around targeting black people or Christians like that, would people be as outraged with the sentence?
Emadi said the group threatened African-American 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 Walmart and at a convenience store.“
