Under what law were these folks convicted, if not Georgia law?
I guess I have to repeat myself with some people.
Excessive charges, excessive sentence.
Can happen anywhere, not just Georgia.
Has nothing to do with any particular state's law.
Get it now?

And now we have good reason to suspect that "pointing the gun at an 8 year old" never actually happened.
The only evidence we have for that is that the DA bullied some of the defendants into making it up in order to get a lighter sentence for themselves.
Happens all the time.

Apparently they got those light sentences for making stuff up that the DA wanted to hear.
Locally, just a few days ag0, a 62 year old man( white) got into an argument with his city neighbors ( Spanish) over his neighbor smoking in the alleyway between their houses during their family backyard party. The older man got a shotgun and pointed at the man and his family, at which time they entered their house and called the police. The police arrived and the man still had the shotgun and refused to put it down. He was shot and killed by police. So I guess his sentence one ups what the two rednecks got.
But as I've said before, idiots have a way of colliding that ends in tragedy where normal people would completely avoid conflict.
And if this did happen before trump got elected, how is it trump's fault? If anything its that stooge's Obama's fault, he was more responsible for racial division than anybody before or after him.

The picture becomes clearer and clearer.
What is clear is cons yet again show their true racist colors. Don't like hearing it? Then change your ways. Til that happens, expect others to see thru you & call the facts.
You can't just arrest people because they are a part of a group (well for the most part... barring groups the US is actively at war against anyway), you need individual proof for each and every single person you want to bring charges against. Which is hard to obtain in the case of anonymous masked rioters. And easy to obtain in the case of drunken non masked rednecks making threats and brandishing weapons in front of multitudes of witnesses.
You get a search warrant, find the masks, weapons, ISIS flags, etc., in their apartment or rental house (they apparently all live together), and build a case.
You also get a warrant to tap their phones and listen to them bragging about what they did.
Threaten the weaker ones (especially if they have a record) with harsh sentences so they flip on the stronger ones.
Maybe put a wire on some of them to gather evidence and snitch out their comrades.
Basic police work.
It's not hard.

There is the question of to whom the fort belonged. From the perspective of South Carolina, the fort was theirs.
And then, just to quibble, while the Confederates fired upon the fort, they also told the fort when they would be firing on it, and where they would be aiming, because they didn't want any casualties. It sort of takes the sting out of "attack" when you go the extra mile to ensure no one is hurt.
"From the perspective of South Carolina, the fort was theirs." What are you talking about?
From the perspective of the United States of America, it was a federal fort. Federal money paid it. Federal troops were stationed there. There was no question of who the fort belonged to.
It would be like me trying to grab your computer, stating that from my perspective, it belonged to me. So step back and nobody gets hurt.
They ought to be crying. Off to the slammer. Thinking members of the Black Guerrilla Family and United Blood Nation are planning their own birthday party for these two. No cake served and things will get ugly real fast.
The sentence is high for this crime considering vehicular manslaughter with a DUI can be much less. That does not mean I don't think they deserve to do time but this is exorbitant. Making an example. All of those who complain about drug dealers getting to long of a sentence should think this is too much also.

His real problem was that he was an anti-smoking nut. Even objecting to someone smoking a cig outdoors.
Them peeps are crazy fanatical.

Exactly!
As I remember, the whole thing happened because the libs went on a rampage demanding that all Confederate flags be removed from public places throughout the South.
