Also, didn't realize the n-bomb wasn't censored on here. When did that happen?

It's doubtful they had any. Group activity like this can often get the gang tag slapped onto it if the prosecutor is feeling overzealous.

The sentence was way more than I expected when I began reading, but I have to be honest. It doesn't bug me. It takes a demented mind to pull that at a kid's birthday party among other places.

It is a dark time in America. The OP was testimonial to that. And now this ^? What has happened to our once great nation? Thank gawd amighty for Trump. #hesgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

I see it all the time here in Danbury, CT, the closest courthouse to Newtown and Sandy Hook. If someone comes in on gun charges, they're screwed nowadays.
My initial reaction was similar. I'm not a big proponent of incarceration to begin with, but the sentences seem heavy.
I'd wager you're right, which is wrong. Much like the egregious errors of Marylin Mosby, an officer of the court should make decisions based on the law, not public sentiment or appeals to emotion. Bench officers are as human as everyone else, but their training and professionalism should preclude them from making judgments based on personal feelings or public sentiment. One need look no farther than Mosby to see the dangers of relinquishing ethics and professionalism for the easy, yet short term, appeal to outrage. In a metaphorical sense her actions are no different than the LEO who tunes up the drunk driver, they both allow emotion to override their professional conduct and I don't know which is worse.

The fact that they pulled up on the property and made actual threats takes away my initial shock at the sentence. Personally, I think they're lucky that nobody shot at them and escalated things to something worse. People get killed for less.

They had a crap lawyer then. A gang, by the legal definition, is any organization that exists to engage in criminal activity. Simply being in a group of racist assholes wouldn't qualify.

I've seen the gang tag slapped on cases here where it was a group, but it wasn't an organization. Prosecutorial discretion on these sorts of things can be really bizarre.

I just read that there is a terrorism component to the enhancement. This makes more sense, considering their activities prior to the main incident as well as the incident itself.
