In an unbelievable hate crime case, Sara Adelia Graves, 22, and Shelbie Brooke Richards, 21, were a part of a racist white supremacist Mississippi gang which hunted and terrorized black people around the Jackson, Mississippi area...

James Craig Anderson, a 49-year-old auto plant worker, was standing in a parking lot, near his car. The teens allegedly beat Anderson repeatedly, yelled racial epithets, including “White Power!” according to witnesses....

Six white male gang members were sentenced to jail terms ranging between four and 50 years. John L. Blalack and Robert H. Rice were the last two gang members to plead guilty.

As for Graves and Richards their sentences are unbelievable and almost as shocking as the crime. Graves was sentenced to five years and Richards received 8 years for their roles in the murder. Here’s a video from the The Young Turks. Please advised there is footage of the murder and it very disturbing.

1. Shocking, true,

also disgusting. I wonder if anything was said at the sentencing that would indicate why they got off so lightly? Also at least one of the males received an even lower term... 4 years. Says a lot about the value placed on black lives.

Prayers for Mr. Anderson's family and friends.

2. They got the max sentences for what they were charged with

Two women who were in the truck used by a white teenager to run down a black man in 2011 received the maximum sentences for their charges in federal court on Thursday.

Judge Henry Wingate sentenced Sarah Adelia Graves to 5 years in prison and Shelbie Brooke Richards to eight for conspiracy to commit a hate crime in James Craig Anderson's death.

4. Bullshit. Every defendant got a different sentence. If they all got the maximum then

they would all have gotten the same fucking sentence. And why weren't they charged with murder, aggravated assault, etc. Oh, pardon me, I forgot, the max you can get for murder is 5 years.

5. Ahhhh... hello!

They all got different sentences because each defendant was hit with different charges.

3. I'm speechless.

Why is this not news?! Wtf!? There was a similar case a while back. When I first saw this I thought it was the same case. Oh wait, 2011, I think this is that case. So now the trial is over and that's all they got for doing that.
