I was afraid this was about Aaron Paul for a sec. Anyone else see an uncanny resemblance?

Unfortunately it isn't true in the US today that hate has consequences.
I assume this is a historic post and not anything that's happened recently.
And this is why they want to defund NPR, poison Wikipedia, and enshrine Twitter in its place.
Can’t manufacture outrage with so many pesky fact checkers.
The best part was when he cried like a baby.
that dude knows he is fucked.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I can't threaten people with a gun? I thought Trump fixed things"
Don't give this too much attention or Trump will pardon them.
If it's state charges he can't pardon them. He only has federal pardon powers.
So what they have to do is commit more crimes until it's bumped up to a federal case. Like do the same thing but in a national park. They better get on that real fast.
As if that small detail would stop the orange turd
Too true, nobody seems inclined to actually do anything to stop his illegal behavior.

Study those facial expressions very closely. Look at what's happening here, because this is so indicative of the mindset of racists.
You look at most criminals at their sentencing, you tend to see either resignation, or remorse. There is neither here.
This is shock. This is disbelief. They did monstrous, horrifying things to innocent people, while fully believing that they had an absolute and unquestionable right to do those things.
When a guy robs a gas station, he knows it's a crime. He's simply reasoning that committing this crime is better for him than the alternatives. He knows it's a risk. He knows he will be punished if he is caught.
But these people saw no risk in what they were doing. They believed that the world protect them and celebrate their actions. They believed that it was their right and their imperative to terrorize people of colour.
Good points. And they aren't wrong if you look at how the country has changed negatively since Trump brought racism and hatred back.
Yup, those are the faces of finding out. What they did was monstrously evil, threatening to kill kids because they weren't the white colour. I imagine he's probably realizing as well that he's going to be beaten a lot in jail for this. Given the incarceration rate of PoC being higher there's going to be a welcome for him he'll regret if they don't immediately put him into solitary confinement. His life isn't just ruined, he may very well die in prison.
The woman has fully disassociated at this point, she's just got the "going through the motions" look of someone who had the worst news of their life handed to them and don't know how to process it.
her prison experience will be a lot different then his.
I read her very differently, but deciphering facial expressions never was my strong suit. To me her face looks indifferent to the situation.
He'll probably get a bunch of Nazi tattoos in prison.
The fact that he will essentially now be forced to do that in order to survive prison really is an indictment of the system. How are people supposed to rehabilitate when not joining a gang is likely to get them killed?
I'm not saying this guy is necessarily rehabilitatable, you have to have a particularly brainless mindset to even do this in the first place but in general it should be possible for people to improve in prison, otherwise what's the point, we might as well go back to public punishment and executions, since that's effectively what prison has now become. Minimum security prisons are probably closer to the ideal, but that's obviously not an option for all inmates.

“Armed and threatening to kill”
That adds an entirely worse facet to it than the initial text lets on.
"next they're gonna say assault with a deadly weapons is a 'class 2 felony'" - some racist probably idk
His cry face is so comical and forced. It's not even genuine. Even has very outwardly visible psychopathic tendencies, besides the actions.
I'm thinking that's his face being caught in time, where there was actually motion. Those eyebrows do really look sad and remorseful. But I don't gaf. They deserve the punishment.
He's not sad he did it, he's sad he got consequences
Those pictures show frustration with the punishment in the same way a toddler does. These people are messed up.
