So, I saw this video in the Twitter feed of the woman verbally assaulting the Muslim girl at Trader Joe's. Sadly, it was used as a tit-for-tat, as in--yeah, that was bad, but are you outraged at this?OMG--why can't we be outraged at BOTH? This is shocking! She could have been terribly injured. Her poor dogs were pulled by their leashes along with her. No one stepped in to help--they just egged the guy on, and then they all ran away laughing. I cannot find the original source. All of the news sights seem to be from the U.K. Did it happen there? They don't seem to have British accents. Sadly, everywhere else I see it posted seem to be white supremacist or crazy right-wing sights. Why do we need to make this an us vs. them thing? Shouldn't we ALL be outraged? And--is it real? Does anyone else have more info?

I'm pretty sure that didn't happen here. The surrounding environment isn't typical of this country. Private pools are not that popular here ( mainly because we don't have the weather) and it certainly wouldn't have happened in a public pool because of the music and party atmosphere. Another thing about it, we haven't had the weather to be having pool parties anywhere in this country. It's disgusting where ever its taken place. They could have killed her. What the heck is wrong with people?

There's no way I'm watching that video, but the write-up provided is horrific. If she verbally abused anyone that's terrible as well, though not potentially deadly. And yes, I certainly would feel outraged by both if it was truly a tit-for-tat type thing. When will people learn that that sort of thing never works out for anyone?

No...I think my post was confusing. The old lady was just complaining about loud music and teenage shenanigans, like old ladies do. The verbal abuse I was referring to was the woman at Trader Joe's who was harassing the Muslim girl. I originally found this video in the twitter feed for the Trader Joe's video. It seems that Conservative groups/websites/blogs have claimed this (pool) video as proof of how bad "black" violence is. I feel very strongly that BOTH videos are examples of how lousy human beings can be, and that conservatives and liberals alike should condemn the actions in both. The bleeding heart liberal in me is disappointed that while the Trader Joe's video is all over my FB feed, this one has yet to make an appearance. Gives credence to the conservative claim that the liberal media is ignoring it.

I saw this video earlier this evening on a blog in hopes of identifying the idiot who throws her in the pool. I gasped out loud the first time I saw it when she hit the concrete and again when she was thrown in the water with her poor little dog dragged in on the leash. Then I worried about what happened to the dog that ran off.
The woman filming or standing behind the filmer who is egging them on loudly in the attack is horrible. I hope they find the guilty ones and she presses charges.

The video is horrible, couldn't watch the whole thing. But what is the backstory? Why is she walking her dogs at their pool party? Was she yelling at everyone? I'm in no way saying she deserved anything, but it seems like she took on the whole party with whatever message she had to say.

Her actions matter about as much as what Trayvon Martin was doing before he was murdered by George Zimmerman. She didn't lay hands on anyone. I'm sure I'll take flack for this, but if a little old black lady was assaulted by a group of young white people who were screaming racial epithets, people would be up in arms, screaming for justice for this hate crime.

It matters about as much as what Trayvon n Martin was doing before he was murdered by George Zimmerman. Trayvon texted his friend to say he was going to confront George, he was looking for a fight. His parents deleted his twitter feed of him constantly talking about fighting and smoking weed then released pics of him when he was a young innocent looking child.

Well, I guess he deserved it, then. And so did this lady. You say a lot of stupid shit. I hope you're never physically attacked, but if you are, I'm sure you'll have deserved it. Because, you know, you have a history of being ignorant, so you *must* have done something to deserve whatever comes your way.

You turned this into a race issue, you're too stupid to read what I actually wrote saying she didn't deserve it. You come to this board countless times for your emotional needs yet act like a complete asshole.

Trust me when I say that I don't need you to respond to my "countless...emotional needs." I hope you'll ignore my constant demands for emotional support moving forward. And forgive me. You were merely engaging in victim blaming, nothing more or did I miss all the empathy you showed for the old woman? I did bring race up because I do believe it matters in this context. You seem to believe that the old lady got what was coming to her. Like I said: I hope your stupidity never lands you on the wrong end of an attack. But if it does, I hope someone is there to remind you that your stupid mouth is what got you into trouble in the first place. And yup. Assholes tend to turn me into an asshole. I guess that's why I'm always one when I respond to you 😘😘

You brought up race because you know I'm black and assumed wrongly that I was racist, which actually makes you racist for judging me. The only one looking stupid here is you for not being able to read my post.

Saying that you weren't blaming her didn't negate the fact that you went right ahead and blamed her. And now, you're going on block. Bitch.

You have to block me? lol Well I can still read your stupid posts and respond to them. When you see a hidden post after yours, you'll know its me and I know you will be hitting the Display Post button out of curiosity each and every time.

Thank you for correcting me, though. I wouldn't want to be thinking this other poor woman was the same woman who abusing the Muslim employee. I still certainly agree that both situations are worth being outraged about. People abusing (in any manner)/harming/assaulting others should not be tolerated---ever. Save

No one is saying that attention shouldn't be placed on all hate crimes but denying who is most often the victim of hate crimes means the people who really need help get ignored.

I was disgusted and outraged at the verdict in the Zimmerman case. I know many people were. And yes, many felt that the verdict was just. I can't answer for those people because I don't understand the reasoning.

I can't answer for those people because I don't understand the reasoning. It was a jury right? A judge as well. He would have determined sentencing. Then if any other "states" were outraged or saw maybe a historicial repeat of E. Till they could have written their representative right? Marched? Posted on 2peas? What about after Tamir Rice?I've said this before and will continue to ask what will you say when people ask you how you lived in a time like this and did fuck all? How can anyone call themselves a patriot when we take a look at America in 2017? How can America claim to be leader of the free world but are okay with the abuse of its black citizens. The citizens whose ancestors provided the free labor that built this country. Note: No one quoted this.

Mainstream media is not covering this story. They are choosing NOT to sensationalize this story. That's what I find interesting. I wonder why they are ignoring this story...

The Child Turned Himself In. Mainstream media is covering it. But if that had not maybe the mainstream media is too busy covering other stories. You guys do realize there is no shortage since 45 was elected by more than half of you. Did you post this video hoping it would paint black people as capable of hate crimes too? We are. We just aren't as masterful at it as white people. Crimes against white people are punished swiftly and sometimes with no regard for Justice but black people don't generally commit a crime against a victim simply because the victim is white. It just doesn't happen often. This isn't my opinion this is fact. We have recent and current history to tell us what non-white people have went through right? Are we disregarding history now?
