Political Weirdos

she got released almost as fast as she got charged, thats why her non-chalant behaviour.

It’s exactly as you think

white supremacists don’t read past the headline

So you can easily drum up false outrage by presenting the alternate universe these people live in where any ol’ white person might receive 15-20 year prison sentences for just driving past the wrong upset black person

This is the world as presented by almost the entire media news and tech industries who are right wing aligned or actually just owned by individual right wing men outright.

My guess, without knowing the case, would be that he was brandishing the weapon and making the direct threats, making her "just" an accessory to the crime therefore lesser charge and sentence.

Legal rulings usually take into account the role one serves in a crime, so e.g. in case of a bank robbery, the "just driver" won't get as harsh a sentence as the others, as the driver usually doesn't waltz into the bank demanding the money, therefore those charges don't directly apply.

More than that, she was actually released just a couple months after sentancing:
