"ethinic intimidation" is the only thing he plead to, which obviously carries a much lesser sentence than assault or aggravated menacing. Hence, the logic behind ANY jail time in this case. juvenile courts have different sentencing than adult criminal courts. “ethinic intimidation” is the only thing he plead to, which obviously carries a much lesser sentence than assault or aggravated menacing.

Racial crimes seemed so distant, and a thing of the past. I agree with Robert that anything less than two years is a bland sentence. However, imprisoning him too much would only make him a potential unemployed person and therefore a potential criminal. Wow. Racial crimes seemed so distant, and a thing of the past.

I don't know what sentence would be appropriate, but I think that anything less than 2 years is a joke. And why in the world was only one of the assailants charged? This seems outrageous.
