Many of you will remember the trucks driving by flying Confederate and American flags and arguing with some black folks who had a birthday party last year. Anyway, today judge Beau McLain sentenced two of them to harsh sentences, 20 years and 15 years in prison. One of them apparently had a shotgun. He said it was a "hate crime". McLain is known for being heavy handed in his sentencing, but rapists or those convicted of manslaughter do not receive this kind of sentence. He gave them the maximum penalty, same as second degree murder. I suppose now that Douglas county is democrat, he is trying to appeal to his new constituency.
