A suburban Seattle man was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison for threatening to shoot Black customers at grocery stores in Buffalo, New York, and at businesses in other states.
Joey George of Lynnwood pleaded guilty in November to making interstate threats and the hate crime of interference with a federally protected activity, The Daily Herald reported.
As part of a plea agreement George admitted he made phone calls threatening to shoot Black customers at grocery stores in Buffalo, restaurants in California and Connecticut, and a marijuana dispensary in Maryland.

What an ignorant moron to even think this is ok! What is wrong with folks?
But I will say this....all of the post say Portland, New York, Wisconsin...from some of the hate mail I have received from folks on this site that refer to me and folks like me as inbred SOUTHERN Racists...guess what...it didn't happen here in my Mississippi...it is happening elsewhere...we have made our peace with our past and we embrace each other more than other states do. We have an ugly past when it comes to this type of stupidity but geuess what, we have learned to embrace the ugliness and work through it. Now it is all over Northern and Midwestern states. I hope they can come to a peace about it and move forward...we as a nation can't do that until all embrace the ugliness of our past, teach it ALL and move forward.
