Those two got 20 and 15 year prison sentences for yelling slurs out the window of their truck. How many should you get for posting them on the internet?
Seems excessive on the jail time. Don't have a problem with them doing a little time though. What they did was wrong and stupid, the amount seems excessive though.

I have to be a little fair. I read the article, and completely missed the shotgun part too. The sentence seemed excessive so I found some other articles that pointed out the shotgun as more then just a side mention. I went back and re-read the original article and saw that it too had mentioned it.
And what do they mean by gang terrorism? That sounds like something directed toward actually criminal organizations like the illegal immigrants gangs...
Thing is, you can't put "This law applies to brown people" in a bill - at least not yet.
yes I agree. They deserve to be punished but not to that extent. And what do they mean by gang terrorism? That sounds like something directed toward actually criminal organizations like the illegal immigrants gangs who terrorize many American cities, like MS-13, Barrio 18, the Mexican Mafia, Latin Kings, etc.
I would say the rioters in Ferguson and Baltimore were better examples of gang terrorism. This is just some people getting drunk and acting stupid and we should let them learn from their mistakes. I highly doubt they are hardcore violent criminals.
They went after a little boy's birthday party. I'm sure he was traumatized and will remember this the rest of his life. This is 2017 for god's sake. When will the racism stop. And no they were not drunk. They belonged to a group...respect the flag. The party members had a gun pointed at them and stated they were going to be killed. Enough is enough with these hate crimes.
Ok what they did was wrong but the prison sentences were way too harsh in my opinion. I don't think they intended to kill anyone and there is always this bias against the rebel flag. A lot of Southerners also feel their culture besieged with the culture of political correctness coming from the government, Hollywood and the liberal mainstream media.
I think for what happened maybe a year in prison would be appropriate plus probation and community service.
Think about the fact that a lot of the ghetto protesters in Baltimore who were convicted of actual violent acts including arson and aggravated assault against police got shorter sentences than these two.
It's terrism for y'all country folks... And I am from the south, and this crap might have scarred my children. Fl does not uphold conf rebel flags anymore.
