Douglasville, GA is 35% white, 60% black.

The judge is white.

A grand jury indicted 15 people in the “Respect the Flag” group.

Judge William McClain said at sentencing that Torres, 26, and Norton, 25, had committed a hate crime.

But Georgia does not have a hate crime statute.

Sounds possible that the racism wasn’t necessarily all on the side of defendants.

If true, they will be out on Appeal. Dumba$$ judge. I grew up in Douglasville. It was majority white back then. I left there in '77.
