In July 2015, just weeks after the Charleston church massacre, a large group of people drove up to a birthday party in Douglasville in trucks, flying American, military and Confederate flags.
The child’s mother, Melissa Alford, said the group walked up to her property and threatened her family.
The people accused in the case said the confrontation started when someone at the party threw an object at one of the trucks, but the mother’s accusations and video of the incident were enough to charge two people, Kayla Norton and Jose Torres, with violating Georgia’s street-gang terrorism law.

Monday morning, a judge sentenced Torres to 20 years in prison, with 13 to serve. Norton was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with six to serve.
“If you drive around town with a Confederate flag, yelling the 'N' word, you know how it’s going to be interpreted,” Judge William McClain said. “It’s inexplicable to me that you weren’t arrested by the police that day.
Watch as both defendants cried while being addressed in court.

“What happened to you and your child was wrong,” Norton told the Alfords Monday morning. “I accept responsibility and I’m so, so sorry.”
Judge McClain told the defendants that families have a right to celebrate a child’s birthday party in peace.
“You have to be held accountable,” the judge said.
Norton and Torres were both in tears as they looked at their families while being escorted out of the courtroom.

Terrorizing this lady and her children. Now you want to cry about it. Get real.
Especially since they have the evidence showing that the "poor crying girlfriend" there had been the one to go to her bf's truck grab his shot gun, LOAD the shotgun in full view of the partygoers and proceeded to hand it to her BF and he threatened to kill them.
@Natty Bumppo why call her loser!?🤣
@Natty Bumppo You're defending the woman going to jail and calling somebody else a loser?
@Natty Bumppo How was Jerry Springer this afternoon.. did you miss your soaps? They need to interact with you more over there. Do your slippers still fit good? I can send different ones if those make your feet hurt. I miss you Grandpa. We all miss you. We sent a package you should get it soon. It's got some snacks and more of that preparation H stuff (hide the worther's). They say you can have visitors if you can stop playing with your poop. Anyway take care Grampa. We love you.
Natty Bumppo imagine defending a person who pulled a gun on a birthday party for an 8 year old
The victim forgave them..... but boy that judge sure didn't! lol
Niall Rogers Thank God for that.
Niall Rogers they drove up to a child's birthday party yelling the N word while pointing guns at them saying they will kill them. They are lucky to get that amount of time. People have gotten life for way less
Niall Rogers that judge was a savage 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but at the end of the day he only give them what he thought they had coming I kinna feel sorry em though
That's because it WAS her!!!
I’d never forgive I hope they suffer in jail and burn in hell
She’s only sorry she got caught 😂 She’s not sorry for what she did.
@Vivi La That’s right
Exactly.
Right on
Vivi La she’s only scared of what’s gonna happen behind bars.
@Vivi La oh yeah
How can she say that? She literally loaded a shotgun and handed it to her husband while they threatened the children at the party. That is exactly the kind of person she is!
Where is that in the video? As I have been looking through this and seems the only thing I can find is allegations and not evidence.
@@unusualaussie9606You need to get your Republican eyes checked. I know you feel sorry for the two perfect pure race you like, but just admit they are wrong and we are all humans.
There are plenty of videos regarding that here on RUclips
@@unusualaussie9606 stfu this is justice
“That’s not meeeee. I wouldn’t walk up to you and say those things...” - except you did.
She means she wouldn't do that if she thought she would get in trouble
@@tarledamanley2832 She said she was "sorry that it happened to you" meaning, she refuses to take responsibility even at the very end. What a POS.
Exactly! Don't tell us what you wouldn't do! Look at what you DID! Apologizing when you're being sent to prison is B.S.!
Lmao ALL kkk shoud go to jail PERIOD
Well, the person who did looked a hell of a lot like you.
“That is not me. That is not him. I wouldn’t never walk up to you and say those words.” That’s exactly what they did and exactly who they are. Lol
@@Fenris77 the most stupid coment I ever read , idiot.. more precisely
BUT YA DID POTATO BRAIN 😆
@@indraboston8651 Speak for yourself there.
I simply pointed out a fact!
So don't make a bigger fool of yourself now...
@@Fenris77 ahh the bigot speaks , you're full of crap, if you did any reading on the subject you'd learn its the exact opposite.
@@Fenris77 stfu bigot. You don’t have any idea about what you’re saying.
Then some people say racism is dead. I guess ignorance is bliss.
Billy TheKidd This specific area has a street gang terrorism law in place. That's why the sentence was so harsh. Did you watch the video?
Billy TheKidd Big difference you fucking idiot...it was a childs birthday party!!
Billy TheKidd your a fucking idiot !
Billy TheKidd the police are not innocent children at a birthday party
Where are these BLM supporters you see doing this??? Or is this just some ALTERNATIVE FACTS???? If you have not seen this with your OWN TWO EYES... It would be nice if you would quit posting this lie... We have enough trolls like yourself spreading Alternative Facts...
This woman, being the victim, gave them so much more than that couple deserved: she showed them grace in her forgiveness.
That made me want to vomit! They don’t deserve forgiveness.
@@DeCurtaRican yes they do, we must forgive if we want God to forgive our sins.
@@Angel-tw3ko no they do not deserve it. they terrorized a childs birthday party.
@@DeCurtaRican Everyone has to find their own way to deal. Forgiveness never means you forget. She and her family were the victims. No one should be shaming them, They've been thru enough.
Forgiveness gives you an amazing amount of power.
She is sorry she got caught, nothing more. Heck, pointing weapons at children, the sentences were lax.
Michael Spencer The really sick and disturbing thing about this is that there are people saying that they committed no crime just because they didn’t fire the weapons and nobody was hurt.
Yeah I have heard people say that. But then when I ask them if this were the Crips and the Bloods point guns at your children and yelling racial slurs at them, do they think a crime was committed? And they answer yes.
Edwin Benony Hey she now time to think about what she did.She gonna miss seeing her kids grow up.Oh well when she gets out.Her kids might have kids of there.Very high price for really stupid act.
Silver Eagle I agree I don't think they should have served the whole bit! If not just as an example!
Silver Eagle Exactly what I said as I watched her croc-tearful apology.
They weren't crying when they were being racists.
The first crime was that they were taught to hate from the time they were born. They are being held accountable for the hate crimes they committed. That judge is doing his part in making America great again.
Rasputin they pulled a gun on those kids she loaded the gun and gave it to her bf attempted murder that’s a crime
😄
I'm glad you guys liked my comment.👍👍👍👍
@Rasputin .....can you please explain what exactly you mean?
But it was you and it was him. Now take your punishment
Honestly. How can you say that's not me I would never when you literally did.
"That is not me." Yeah. How many times have we heard that before?
Yeah. And quite literally, that exact wording. They ALL say it. They're just upset that they got caught and brought to justice in court. They all then go "that's not me" but it's such a hollow empty lie. They're upset that actions have consequences and they don't believe in personal responsibility
Why r they crying? They are badass wielding shotguns right?
Exactly! Not so tough anymore, bawling their eyes out. POS both of them
Typical wannabe badass.
Poor guys gunna learn that "receiving" anal isn'tthe same as "giving" anal
@@Eargasm4all bubbas a happy man he got a new old lady
they are crying because they got caught
When "keeping it white" goes wrong.

Dexter White I can't wait for you're video to end up on RUclips, then you're boss at the mayonaise factory will fire you lmao! You'll also go to jail, You'll just be another joke for the comment section lmao!
Mike R. good one lol
"That's not me." This statement is nauseating. You cannot remove the worms from your brain is of you don't first accept they are there.
It's funny that racists are always claiming "That's not me"... lol
Honestly. How can you say "that's not me I would never" when you literally did.
In fairness, racists inbreed which often result in multiple births... maybe it was an identical twin from her litter ;-)
I know, like it was an out of body experience. It’s exactly who she is and felt she was going to get away with it. Surprise! You get 15 years
I'm a racist but I'm smarter than to do dumb stuff like that.
@@JohnGalt1960 You cant put "I'm racist" and "smarter" in the same sentence.
"I would never say those things that the video tape shows me sayin....."
Just sayin.....
Lol
It could be mistaken identity 🤷♂️
@@trevormcmillan1565 Are you joking lol
😭😭😭😭😭
@@jasonst2871 of course they are
This woman has a big heart. I couldn't be so forgiving.
The victim of that crime is a very classy lady. Nothing but respect for her
@Johnny Santi Ahh boo hoo. A child threw something. The Horror. What a despicable person has a child that throws something
Seriously have you ever seen, talked to or interacted with children?
@Johnny Santi I take that as a no.
@Johnny Santi keep talking, what you are wishing for someone else might just happen to you. You are a sad pathetic individual. Goodnight!
@Johnny Santi haha you are pathetically stupid....my life does matter. You are just angry they got what they deserved. Boho😂
Amen
Something very justifying in seeing a scared bully.
Always is a little coward living inside every big bully!
“I believe you, I forgive you”?! She’s a much bigger and better person than me, I would have been lauuughing at their tears.
Right?! I would have told them to GTH!
Especially after she avoided actually accepting her role in it. she apologised that someone else did this...
Yea I would never accept their apology
Because of hatred they missed having relationships with some fine people.
It would have been hard for me to forgive her after what she did to my child's party.
*If it wasn't you . Then why are you in court being charged with crimes instead of the "real " criminals.*
This is like robbing a bank and being surprised you got arrested.
WTF did they think was going to happen after threatening children with weapons and racial slurs?
You first have to believe you did something wrong in order to expect repercussions. Some people don't think this kind of behavior is wrong. Sometimes you have to be told by God or a judge that your actions are wrong. Then you want to claim it's not you and act like it's a isolated incident. When all the time this is your character. Your repentance should be a process, not a knee-jerk reaction like, "That's not me."
Hahaha
They didn’t think ANYTHING would happen...
What about George Floyd pointing a gun at a pregnant woman where was his harsh sentence.
@@Combatinho Pointing a gun at someone and killing them are completely different. If he had killed the pregnant mother I certain he would have been charged with murder, don't you so?
I would have had a very cold and detached response, no emotion, straight face: "Just do your time. That's more than I want to say to you. Just do your time."
When ever you feel bad about yourself, watch people cry while getting sentenced to prison
"That's not me, that's not me," then who the hell was it, Casper?
Well, Casper was a friendly ghost - the friendliest ghost you know. I would use a different comparison :-)
IT WAS THE ONE-ARMED MAN!!
😂😂
You have three kids of your own and yet you were willing to terrorize a child's birthday party with weapons. Then you cry in front of the people you wronged and tell them that it's not you and it was not him. It WAS you and it WAS him. You DID do it. Shame on you both.
That’s not me that’s not me waaaaahhhh
Judge: yeah we forgive you but you can think about it for the next 20 years
The guy name is Jose Torres why are you waving a Confederate flag when you have a Latino name
The nerve of that lady saying it’s not me, it’s not him n I would never do that.
Crying in denial is not an apology!
Trey Gowdy’s Purple Tie
Is there a video of it? If not it didn’t happen.
20 years for terroristic threats
15 years for terroristic threats
That is ridiculous.
Who raised these people, they are to blame as well. This is so gross and Look at the entire republican party now, they are also to blame.
Just think of how the parents have to now talk and teach their children about racism and hate because of people like this.
They have to teach their kids about racism anyways. It’s like having to teach children how to avoid child predators and to speak up if an adult tells them to keep a secret. It comes with the parenting territory even more than educating them about child predators, because you know that they’ll experience racism.
She not even really crying She’s whining, that’s not me her whole body Language is saying otherwise and that is you who else did it and the news reporter said they did it to multiple people that Same day
She's gonna go to prison and be angry asf she around all of them perfect 👌
Nenna Aco don’t worry that’s not her so she won’t be in Prison!! 🤣😂
Tears never tasted so good!
😆
Oh they would be useless in a warzone look at the guy who went to a lil kids birthday now they cry
Jah Uatuku. That's what the Alt-right republican, fascist, nazi, confederate flag waving American traitors are. They're all tough in their big trucks with their big weapons with a bunch of other half related siblings.
I would be perfect because I don't feel anything anymore. I guess it's the US Army's loss.
"I take full responsibility...I want you to know that's not me!" ... wait, what?
Same thing I said. She spoke out of both sides of her mouth. Glad you caught that.
They have to have priors...because there aren't many states (if any) where they're actually giving people appropriate sentences for domestic terrorism. Incredible and deserved.
Kayla and Jose are only sorry because they got caught. What a shame. 😑
Must people does, even King David felt sorry when Samuel exposed his raping on Bathsheba and killing Uriah the Hittite cause he screwed her and bred her as well... Before, he was cool with it.
Locality and skin color determine justice these days.
It always has.
Nope... money and fame... always...
What about George Floyd pointing a gun at a pregnant woman where was his harsh sentence.
Stop it
They were both only crying because their PINK PRIVILEGE card came back with insufficient funds on them!😂😂😂
Now that’s funny! “That’s not me.” I forgive you but the judge doesn’t.
“I would never say those things”... but you did!
I'm still proud of GA for getting these Thugs off of our streets
You mean BLM is no longer on the streets?
@@Trumpy6 How was that racist? Was implying BLM is a bunch of thug racist?
To forgive means it was unimportant, to forget means nothing happened. It won't heal the children, they saw, they heard, they'll remember- always.
these sick people are just upset they're now exposed. they feel stronger in a group and allow their true feelings to show.
Anybody else laugh when she said"...that is not me" lmaoooo
They got told by legal representatives to cry and apologise. It will score points come parole time. This is nothing but theatre
Suddenly "it's not her or him" cause there's a 15 year price tag added to their punishment? Uh huh, keep crying. You have 15 years to get it all out.
She's actually out now,since September 2019
Wow, she forgave them. She is ten times the person they and those like them will ever be.
She's human.
Some people think they have to forgive every transgression against them. Those two crybabies had a choice. Sad......
@@catman3953 Blacks are far too forgiving.
Guess those two won’t be renewing their Respect The Flag membership
Not so tough without their low life friends. Now they act as if they’re the victim.
"That's not me I would never do that" Um what? You did do that...
"That's not me". Yet another case of mistaken identity.
No way in hell would I accept her apology. She did not acknowledge what she did...and she apologized for that happening to them, not for doing this TO them. 🖕🤬
Absolutely. "I'm sorry for WHAT happened to you" BS!! She should say "I'm sorry for WHAT I DID TO YOU!" She still didn't accept responsibility.
Well done. You don't often see or hear of outcomes like this.
She's Only Sorry Because She Got Caught
Only FOXNews would call it a "confederate flag confrontation" to point a shotgun at a child, as if this was about a flag.
Yea
Did you believe CNN over fox? I think youre obviously bias
@@ZealousPower I love the way you're so ignorant that you think those are the only choices.
“I want you to know I’m taking full responsibility because that’s not me and that isn’t him, we weren’t even there.”
"In fact this whole incident happened in an alternate reality and I cannot be blamed"
Emotional? No. This is people facing consequences.
“They got what they got,” she said. “… You didn’t take a plea because you thought you were gonna get off. You gamble, you win or you lose.”
seeing them cry puts a big smile on my face.
That's what they get for being jerk-faced racists.
A complete miscarriage of justice! Beyond ridiculous how much time they were given!
why is she forgiving people who pointed loaded gun at her children birthday party and even threatened them ??
« I forgive u » pffff no girl! never ever ! Our ancestors died cause of this kind of people so no !
The famous "it's not me" defense. Then who was the doppelganger in the tape?
"That is not me! That is not me." Well, who was it then???
Finally some justice😎they are not so big and bad now.
It was you that day,now to jail you go, bye,bye.
The tears always come easy when they get caught! Congrats to this judge for having seen past it, especially in these confrontational times.
Why the hell are they serving different amounts of time even though they did the exact same crime? Smh...
the girl at 1:50 is crying not because she's sorry but because she is going to jail it's all show! she got what she deserves.
Wow, after five years this is still shocking. I want to ask that young woman, did your mommy and daddy teach you to be this way?
It's a shame that we still have people acting like this at this day and age..
It looks like people don't want to be better.
America is full of diversity!!! OMG theres not a town you can go to and find other races, ethnic groups...get used to it because it's not stopping!
Kinda like people still bringing up slavery today when it was banned more than 150 years ago.
Mark Nelson 🥔 they are everywhere, on the left. Glad these idiots got theirs however, I hate right wing bigots 10x more than the sheep on the left.
Bwah bwah! Not me! Sorry what happened to you! ( i don't hear admittance of her guilt, thus, her apologies are insincere!) good riddance!
Her tears are for herself, not for her actions. They all cry in front of a judge. They are disgusting humans.
Everyone acts tough until they get ready to go to prison
"That's not me! I would never walk up to you and say those things to you"!
but...you did.
Crying in court doesn't erase deep rooted racism.
THE KEY SHOULD BE THROWN OUT. EXAMPLE TO THOSE WHO ARE CONTEMPLATING TO DO BAD THINGS. WHY ARE YOU CRYING?????
Why the "F" are they crying? I'm so glad they got prison. Now THAT is justice!
Yeah. I could care less what folks believe, but you just don't F with kids.
NOT ENOUGH. THE KEY SHOULD BE THROWN AWAY. LOCKED THEM UP FOR GOOD. LOTS OF TIME TO REFLECT, DISCIPLINE WHILE IN PRISON. THEY DID THIS TROUBLE TO THEMSELVES. VIOLINCE DOES ANY GOOD OUTCOME
@Joe Sua no
@Joe Sua Just a guess...Are you on meth?
I was in tears watching this simply because of how this family forgave these criminals. It’s God’s love that allow you to forgive those who bring hurt to you and this family have nothing but love and forgiveness to their enemies.
Hatred is just an ugly , disgusting thing I hope they do soul searching and let that hate go!!
This whole thread of you all is Hatred
"The drivers parked the trucks near the house, prosecutors said. Torres was part of a smaller group that "threatened to kill the party goers while repeatedly using derogatory racial slurs against them," said the statement. "Torres, who had retrieved a shotgun from his vehicle, pointed his shotgun at the group of African American party-goers and stated he was going to kill them while his co-defendants stated that 'the little ones can get one too,' referring to the young children at the party," the statement said."
Haha ...”that is not me” ...I just roll with those types LOL
"ThAtS NoT Me!" Then Who the HELL is it then!?
i am happy she got in jail.
who else?
It is them. They got caught and deserve the full extent of the law.
It's not literary it's like saying. It was a lapse of judgement, I would have never done this idk what made me do it.
@Jesse Mitchell new law I think. Hate crimes have been increased in sentence and r now a felony
Sad situation for everyone involved. DON'T DISH IT OUT, IF U CAN'T TAKE IT YOURSELF! No matter the color.
I would have been like " I don't wanna hear the apology , thank you:
Lying hardcore that’s not me she’s shaking her head know body language doesn’t lie
Still confused to why they were sentenced to so many years tho. Did anyone die or actually get hurt? Generally curious.
So the judges feel like they can finally give real sentences to racists what was stopping them before..
It's a start in the right direction. Changes aren't going to happen over night or with a snap of a finger. It's going to take time and effort. Everything worth while requires work.
Being racist isn't a crime or morally wrong. Fascist.
what if your words could be judged like a crime
slowly restoring faith in America..justice finally served
That is you! You are only
upset because you are being held accountable...
This video is evidence that we need to look at the best of humanity- i.e the lady forgiving the offenders. Not let these issues divide us further. Enough hate already.
'It's not me', well who was it then?
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I hope they will stay in prison for this.
That seriously makes me sick to my stomach. She straight up crying says she wasn't the one who did those things but that just doesn't matter in the slightest.
This video proves bullies are actually the biggest cry babies of them all.
I just love to see them crying. It kind of made my day.
