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.
