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.

    Lmao, bruh, when people think that everything said is “virtue signalling” that’s usually just a sign that they’re a bad person.

      one comment = everything and usually a sign = assumption out of your ass.

      I can play the armchair psychologist too, when people make assumptions others are a bad person, that’s usually just a sign that they’re a bad person.
