John Sullivan , a white man in his late 70s , was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty in April to a federal hate crime.

In December 2022 , Sullivan encountered a group of Asian Americans including children outside a Quincy post office.

He yelled "go back to China " and threatened to kill them before repeatedly hitting one of them, a Vietnamese man, with his car.
