DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Officials say 15 Confederate flag supporters have been indicted following a confrontation with a black family in Georgia.

Douglas County District Attorney Brian Fortner announced charges against members of a group called "Respect the Flag" on Monday.

Authorities say they 15 are accused of making terroristic threats and violating a street gang law. Two men also are charged with battery.

The charges stem from a confrontation between flag supporters and a black family gathered for a child's birthday party in Douglasville, about 22 miles west of metro Atlanta.

1. Finally.

Thanks for the good news. I've been waiting a long time to see if these racist bigots would get let off scott-free or not. You never know these days. Hopefully the family will get some justice, and the poor birthday child will be able to say the A-holes got what was coming to them.

3. Ya know what? I wasn't here to read the original. I'm here now, and I'm glad I can see this one.

This "duplicate" fundamentalism is getting out of hand.
