Two people were sentenced on Monday for their part in a kids birthday party confrontation.

In July 2015, just a few weeks after the Charleston church massacre, a large group of people were driving in trucks, they approached a birthday party in Douglasville. They flew American flags, and Military and Confederate flags too. They pointed guns and used racial slurs.

They threatened the family at the birthday party.

The claim by the defendants was that the confrontation started after someone threw an object at the truck however, a video of the incident was enough to charge Kayla Norton and Jose Torres, with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and violating the Georgia Street Gang Act.

Judge William McClain sentenced Torres to 20 years in prison, with 13 to serve and Norton to 15 years in prison, with six to serve!

He said:

“If you drive around town with a Confederate flag, yelling the N-word, you know how it’s going to be interpreted,”

“It’s inexplicable to me that you weren’t arrested by the police that day.”

Norton cried at the sentencing and said that “What happened to you & your child was wrong. I accept responsibility and I’m so, so sorry.”
