Video of the flag convoy https://youtu.be/lu1GjHAiHZg

From https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/georgia-couple-gets-prison-time-racist-threats-childs-birthday-party

For two days, the couple and the nearly dozen others waved the flags while aboard pickup trucks and targeted their slurs and threats at black families in counties outside Atlanta.

In Douglasville, the couple, among others, reportedly yelled racial slurs at the birthday party’s attendees as they drove by. Torres also threatened to kill the people at the party with a shotgun Norton had loaded and retrieved from his truck, the district attorney’s office said in a statement on Facebook.

This happened 10 years ago, and they were sentenced 8 years ago.

I really dislike how twitter screenshots never have date stamps in them. Makes things look recent when posted.

Shits wild tho. Fuck those people.

Same, and we only know because someone kindly posted a source. Lots don’t even have that.
