In a very rare case in the US a group of non-muslims was charged with making terroristic threats. Pro-Confederate Flag supporters crashed a little African American girl’s birthday party by driving by in a parade of pickup trucks flying Confederate battle flags. One truck was driven by a group of men who pointed a gun and used racial slurs against the people gathered there. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Are these charges justified? Can you believe this is happening in 2015? Let us know in the comments below.

“Fifteen members of a group called “Respect the Flag” have been indicted on terror charges after they drove a caravan of trucks through a Georgia neighborhood where a black family was celebrating a child’s birthday, then waved Confederate flags and allegedly threatened party-goers.

The July incident came in the midst of a debate that spread from South Carolina about removing the Confederate flag from public spaces. Video of the confrontation between black party-goers and Confederate flag supporters made national news.

The two sides had wildly divergent accounts of what occurred. But Monday’s indictment by the Douglas County District Attorney called the flag group “a criminal street gang” and accused its members of participating “criminal gang activity” on that day. The group members were charged with making “terroristic threats” against the party-goers.”
