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.

The best part was when he cried like a baby.

Those pictures show frustration with the punishment in the same way a toddler does. These people are messed up.

Ah don't worry, they'll get a pardon for heroic acts of anti wokeness or something

State charges are not able to be presidentially pardoned, although if it's a red state the governor may just do it to capitulate.

This may surprise people, but politicians do not have the right to pardon people in most countries.

The face of a man who has had his privilege card revoked.

Probably soon pardoned by the Oval Office.

Fortunately, it doesn't have jurisdiction. It was a state offense.

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.

it's a shame they weren't tried as terrorists.

Then deported to El Salvadore

they are crying because they got caught, not because they felt guilty. its literally like how BRIAN "apologizes" to stewie

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After watching countless interrogation videos, they are not only crying because they got caught. They are also crying cause they are going to jail and that their life is ruined now. If sentence would not be incarceration, they'd be happy and with a smile. It is always "am I going to jail?" rather than an actual sense of guilt.

Hell yea. Gotta make the racists afraid again.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

The big tough alpha MAGA cries when faced with the legal repercussions of his crimes.

Classic. I savor the Schadenfreude as I would the finest steak and lobster.

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

His cry face is so comical and forced. It's not even genuine. Even has very outwardly visible psychopathic tendencies, besides the actions.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.
