Probably soon pardoned by the Oval Office.
Fortunately, it doesn't have jurisdiction. It was a state offense.
Trump just "pardoned" an Oregon(?) state election official, convicted on state charges of (?)election interference. It's symbolic, not I fully expect them to try to press that through officially.
It was Colorado, and it was purely symbolic. If his DOJ were to take this one to the Supreme Court, and SCOTUS rules in favor of the Trump Admin, then the US Constitution, which is currently only wounded (gravely), would be truly dead.

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.
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.

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

For fucks sake
WTF is wrong with these racist assholes?!
Grandpa told them stories about lynching the uppity ones. This garbage is passed down in the family.
I grew up in rural PA. I left because (among other similar issues) the community was A-ok with a small engine repair shop having the proprietor's full name on the big sign out front. His name was Kermit K. Kistler. His parents named him that, and he was proud enough to display it for all to see.

😢 But I just wanted to be racist...
😭 The woke won't let me be racist!!!
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.

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

“Armed and threatening to kill”
That adds an entirely worse facet to it than the initial text lets on.
I honestly can't imagine thinking this is what one wants to do with their time. Like, I accept that I can't understand this sort of racism and such, but like, even if I was a bigot I can't imagine deciding that what I'm going to do with one of my afternoons is drive around threatening a child's birthday party.
But also, it amazes me that white Americans manage to feel aggrieved by black Americans even today. We're the ones who keep fucking them over not the other way around.

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.
Those pictures show frustration with the punishment in the same way a toddler does. These people are messed up.
OH THEY WERE ARMED. Like I thought America wouldn't do this to white people just for shouting threats, but being armed makes it undeniable.
They will be pardoned shortly.
