Forgive me if I missed something, but these people were given years behind bars for disrupting a birthday party for a black boy?
Did they assault anyone? I'm being serious, I'm genuinely flabbergasted by this story. Did they get an extended sentence on disturbing the peace because their act was racially motivated?
I'm trying my best to not to do the "if the shoe was on the other foot" routine.

The judge gave them more time than what the court asked for. The others involved who pleaded guilty got less time... Translation. This couple refused to take the plea deal the DA offered them because likely in their mind, and objectively so, were less guilty and felt any jail time was absurd... so they judge threw the book at them to make an example of people who don't take plea deals... Because if you don't already know, that where 90% of cases end up... a plea deal.

They didn't assault anyone. They were just convicted for saying nigger, waving around confederate flags and being rednecks.

I wish I could say I'm in shock but honestly I'm just numb to this nonsense now.

A gang of four kidnapped and torture a special needs kid while live streaming it - they get five months, some say. https://youtu.be/t0PrtFv3jTQ
The lady in the article, a mother of three, gets six years for allegedly threatening behavior and words; dispropotionate? And the man gets 13 years for the same crime??

have a source on them getting 5 months I keep hearing they did, but seems like the media is scrubbing it.

This is the case we need for comparison.
The US Government is illegetimate until all of us are equal under the law.

Checked on it - they got less...

One just got community service and probation Covington was sentenced to four years of probation and 200 hours of community service. Cook County Circuit Judge William Hooks said that he could have sentenced her to prison, but did not because "I'm not sure if I did that you'd be coming out any better."

As near as I can judge, they "terrorized a child's birthday party." As in, shouted "nigger" and other insults and made threatening gestures. But did these two actually do anything physically? They were part of a group, and some members of the group were convicted of felonies and got ... lesser sentences? This sentence seems a little harsh for shouting "nigger" at some niggers ... harsh, as in totally insane. Niggers who kill white people don't get this much prison time.

They fucked up, they are as dumb as niggers, they should know that in this day and age, to go to a nigglet b. day and brandish a shotgun is gonna come back to bite you on the ass.

That's the Gods truth. The Judge needs to move out of his gated community and live next to those savages and see for himself just how niggers act.

"...I do...I forgive you" - as she tries to pretend like she is about to cry.
Niggers trying to act emotional; you can just see right through it.

The faft that they were sentenced this long for committing no real crime should set everyone on edge. That judge needs to be under a microscope for the rest of his career.
