WATCH: Soon They Will Arrest You For Just Being White... The Couple Who Got 33 Years For 'Offending the Black Community'
Two people who were convicted in a confrontation in a Georgia community at a child’s birthday party that took place in 2015 have been sentenced to a combined 33 years in prison. On the morning of February 27, a judge sentenced Kayle Norton to 15 years in prison, with six to serve and Jose Torres to 20 years in prison, with 13 to serve.
The pair were prosecuted under the Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism law. The incident took place several weeks after Dylan Roof killed nine black worshipers at a South Carolina church, sparking a backlash against public displays of the Confederate battle flag.
According to reports, Norton and Torres paraded through a neighborhood that is populated by mostly black residents with a group called “Respect the Flag,” which flew Confederate flags from their trucks. The group allegedly noticed a black family having a birthday party, and decided to roll up and cause trouble, reportedly telling the party-goers that they would “kill y’all ni**ers.”
