Couple in GA who terrorized a black children's birthday party sentenced today. [View all]

They and a dozen others rode around in pickup trucks, flying US and Confederate flags, guns raised, yelling threats and racists crap at black children and their parents having a birthday party.

The judge sentenced a man to 20 years, to serve 13, and his wife to six years. After they are relleased, they can no longer live in that county.

I don't have a link yet to accurately report the sentences, but the Judge cut them no slack, no grace.
