You better tell your new "friends" you robbed a bank

Because you most assuredly wouldn't want the general population to know you are a convicted cross burner.

A 26-year-old Ypsilanti man will spend the next three years in prison for burning a cross outside a Sumpter Township home last year, a federal judge ruled Friday.

Ronald Joshua Youngblood, 26, of Ypsilanti, pled guilty in August and was sentenced yesterday to three years in prison for burning a cross outside a Sumpter Township home in June of 2006. TECHNICALLY he was found guilty of a civil rights conspiracy charge, interfering with housing rights and oh yeah, the unregistered handgun cause cross burners are cowards. Youngblood even admitted setting off an explosion so the residents would come out and see his handiwork.

Police said a tip and information available on the Internet led investigators to identify him as a suspect. Nice going supergeunius, did you brag about it online?

3 years seems kinda of harsh, I wonder how much time I would have recieved for the flaming poo bag I did as a child?

Well his problem wasn't that it was a random light poo and run, yes we've all done that, this was INTENTIONALLY set to scare a black family and he should have had far more sense than that. I mean in this case he even went as far as setting off an explosion to make SURE the family saw it.
