I guess they really couldn't have gotten much more, at least they got a good spanking.

There are quite a few people who have never been arrested and have no idea of the consequences. Even if the charges are dropped you have a record.

This right here. That year must have felt like ten. I’m sure just about the time you started to relax, and the anxiety started to dwindle, the next court date, news story, whatever jogs your memory, and it all comes back. Hell no.

Add into it that once the video surfaced these two twats instantly started to receive threats including death threats and all sorts of harassment. They had to shut down all their social media which I'm guessing these two were social media heavy's spewing all their Trump hate constantly. That alone put them into withdrawals like a meth head going to prison. You had to attempt to erase any and all trace of you're contact info and whereabouts that could be out there. Not to mention the cost involved in good legal defense.

I'm sure something as simple like going out for a cheeseburger had to be carefully thought about knowing you might be recognized and and subjected to public humiliation. Their lives were and will continue to be altered in ways they never thought of. Imagine if you had to contemplate moving from where you have lived for years in order to hopefully return to some kind of a normal life. And I'm guessing they are facing civil suits that will cost them more money to defend themselves and still have a likelyhood of losing. Reap what you sow bitches.

Would I have liked to see them spend a weekend in jail or pay a couple thousand dollar fine, yes. Am I happy that they are now convicts, yes.

Sometimes you just got to take the win. These sorry excuses for human beings destroyed other people's property and harassed a little boy, in most cities they would have had all charges dropped and offered a key to the city. Just happy to have a ruling that might give pause to the next person that would bother children or people expressing their 1st amendment rights.

We need to cool down and realize they won't have trouble getting the next waitress job. These aren't brain scientists or rocket surgeons. They will be able to get an entry level job, no problem.

Where did it say that the hat belonged to the little boy ? Did I miss that part ?
