Where is paragraph (1)?

I'll save you some trouble: they are not a street gang.

I'll save you time since you obviously have never looked at it. Below is a link. A whole host of activities can be included such as stalking.

I find it funny that people are trying to make broad accusations because of the actions of these idiots.

Ironically, a jury from the same area and a judge kicked them squarely in the behind so the screeds against the residents around there, racial comments, political affiliations etc. all kinda implode when it's looked at intelligently.

Feel free to elucidate those "legal authorities" you've "consulted."

I'm all ears.

What would you call 10 people who drove around for 2 days, threw objects into cars, pointed guns at motorists, and threatened to kill people in a Walmart? Not a gang? Why?
Because they're not a street gang by any normal definition of "street gang".

It is street gang and terrosim act. Hate crime can be considered terrorism.

The judge must be a liberal.

The premise of your argument is that liberals rule against racists. However, conservatives can also rule against racists. The circle-jerk logic you are using does not recognize that conservatives can rule against racists. You have no evidence of the judge's political leanings besides YOUR flawed opinion of his ruling.

They are by the legal definition in Georgia.

The definition given of a "street gang" does not even remotely fit the profile of the group we've been talking about.

However, I don't think they were inspired by anything Trump said. That's too easy. They were probably already disgusting, deplorable people.

Why? Because you think all street gangs are people of color? Aside from that, when you go to court, the only definitions that counts are those in the legal books.

These two could have pleaded guilty instead of demanding a trial. It's their own fault they didn't get 2 - 4 years. After their two days of threatening people there was plenty of video evidence and first hand testimony and reports against them. They gambled on the courts being as racist as there are to get them off. They lost.
