White supremacists are outraged after a couple was sentenced to 20 years in prison for displaying a Confederate flag and making terroristic threats to black people who were attending a childs birthday party in Georgia in 2015.
The defendants, Jose Torres and Kayla Norton, who were convicted last month, also pulled out a shotgun and threatened to kill people at [the] party, including children, according to Douglas County District Attorney Brian Fortner.
White supremacist groups have responded to the sentencing online in Facebook posts and petitions in protest of the conviction, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reports. James Oliver, a member of the countrys largest neo-Nazi organization, the National Socialist Movement (NSM), made a video over the weekend about the sentencing, though it appears to have been removed. The NSM is rooted in the original American Nazi Party.
According to SPLCs report, Oliver argued in his video, 20 years for f*cking freedom of speech for name calling some high school, middle school, kindergarten bullsh*t. Oliver was reportedly joined in the video by former Klansmen John Girton, who said, Not one negro was harmed. However, one of them did get their feelings hurt by the use of the n-word.
