Couple gets prison time for racist threats at child’s birthday party

Huh and people keep telling that  racism doesn't exist anymore. and it's all hysteria.

There will always be pockets of it.

A bit more than just pockets of it. I had a lovely chat earlier with an AF member about things like that and learned a lot.

The worlds is strange when I find myself in agreement with Pool, PaulPablo and Bella.

Perhaps that's a good thing - it means we have some commonalities and shared values.

So let me add my voice to this:

Little Lunch et al, the convicts pointed loaded weapons at children for the intent of terrorizing them. If one of them stumbled or reacted suddenly, they might have murdered a child.

They invaded a party with the express intent of causing harm. The express intention of causing fear.

They basically did the equivalent of a stalker hunting down a woman, holding a gun to her throat and saying "I could rape you, but I won't".

Is 13 years too long? Possibly, but that's why we have parole boards. And appeals. And judges who can interpret the Law and set the penalties.

Save your sympathy for someone else. These convicts earned their prison and wilfully participated in a dangerous attack that had it's participants (young children!) honestly question if they're about to die.

The jury clearly felt they were so outrageous, so unrepentant, so hateful that they threw the book at them. It says a lot.

Funny, isn't it?

It's always nice to find some common ground.
