A 62-year-old white man convicted of attempting to run down six Black men at the site of the Rosewood massacre has been sentenced to a single year in prison.
David Allen Emanuel appeared solemn and reserved on Thursday as federal Judge Allen Winsor delivered the sentence on six counts of hate crimes for attempting to run over Historian Marvin Dunn, his son and four other Black men who were surveying Dunn’s Rosewood property to build a memorial for the massacre.
The judge’s sentence called for 12 months plus one day in federal prison for each of the six charges, which he allowed to run concurrently. The Justice Department had sought a “substantial” prison term of between five and six years.
Seriously, can you imagine if it was a brown guy trying to kill 6 people because they’re white?
There would have been no trial at all. Brown driver would be dead before the vehicle stopped moving. There cops would have made sure of that.
the cops here were prolly watching like “oh shit he didnt kill any if them i guess we have to arrest him now”
