I think "other group members" can equal a gang.

The facts don't support your fantasy.
So did they have gang signs, colors, tattoos, and a headquarters?

Did they have "turf" that they defended?

Did they fight other gangs?

Did they have initiations?

I'd love to hear all about it!

Pretty much. Act like a terrorist, get terrorist results.

Why do they have to have any of those things?

They are a group with a shared agenda that took that agenda to the street. When they stopped and threatened motorists, they took it to the street. When they decided to stop at an eight-year-old's birthday, and threaten to kill the people attending the party, they did so as part of their agenda.

I would have acquitted because of the DA piling ridiculous charges on them.

You don't get a 28 year sentence without that.

American juries need to stop being stuck on stupid (I'm assuming a jury heard the case).
You don't think those kids were traumatized? I am pretty sure they will never forget.

That doesn't make them a street gang.

They won't forget. Those kids will likely wonder why someone would want to terrorize them.

I can only imagine what these scumbags were thinking as they terrorized party-goers (mostly kids) with a shotgun:

"Hooray, Trump won! We can totally get away with this stuff now!"

Have fun in prison, Deplorables.
Dude, this happened in 2015.

Yes, I think they were traumatized.

The perps should get a couple of years in prison.

But if I had been on the jury, I would have voted to acquit, based on the DA piling on ridiculous charges like calling them a "street gang."

DAs shouldn't get away with abusing their power.
