White couple weep as US judge gives them 28 years in prison for interrupting a black child's eighth birthday party with Confederate flags, racist slurs and armed threats.
Surely, eight to ten years would have been enough. Are we
really saying that their odious conduct was as bad as
murder?
All I really want to know is whether this judge would give a
similar sentence were the colours reversed. Somehow, I just cannot see
it!
