re: Is this too harsh? Georgia couple receive long sentences for verbal hate crime

Because the DM link was awful, and didn't list the actual charges, three of which are felonies in Georgia.

So they read a British tabloid story with a lack of details which should have immediately raised red flags. Made worse that the "hate crime" part was added by the OP apparently.

And then they just accept it as fact, even with those red flags? And I even posted a more detailed story, just one of probably hundreds a 2 second search could have revealed, and they still ignorant that?

Yet, many will pretend that they are bothered by "fake news" then accept clearly questionable news as irrefutable fact.
