Charlotte Woman Faces Charges After Harassing Black Neighbors, Telling Them To Leave
http://www.wfae.org/post/charlotte-woman-faces-charges-after-harassing-black-neighbors-telling-them-leave#stream/0
A white woman is facing criminal charges after confronting two African American women at an apartment complex in south Charlotte.
A video, originally posted by one of the women on Facebook, shows a white woman approaching them in a parking lot.
Where do you live in this place? Because this is Myers Park. This is South Park, she says.
They calmly ask her to leave them alone. One woman says she lives there too.
The white woman then calls one woman a b---- and asks, Is your baby daddy here?
In another video, the white woman says, Do I need to bring out my concealed weapon too?
A CMPD spokesman said Saturday four criminal summons have been issued for the woman - two counts of communicating threats and two counts of simple assault. The website of the Mecklenburg County Sheriffs Office shows warrants matching that description were issued for Susan Westwood on October 21.
According to WBTV, Westwoods employer Spectrum says it has terminated her

(10,252 posts)Hatred and anger are poison. Nurturing anger and letting it escalate into hatred is poison. First comes the thought, then comes the speech, then comes the actions. The first thoughts of anger and hatred - in the thought process - what we tell ourselves - that is the place to break the cycle.
May the dark delusions of sentient beings be dispelled.
May all beings enjoy profound, brilliant glory.

(15,950 posts)That said she had no business approaching anyone about where they should or shouldn't be.
Ah well, she might not be able to find employment for a while. OOPS!!!
Ligyron
(7,639 posts)Guess her "expertise in strategy and planning" also failed to take into acount her racism and sence of entitlement and the fact that the internet never forgets.
She'll need to move somewhere else and even then she may never outrun her actions that day.
Her only hope lies in begging her new xian neighbors in whatever "safe" allwhite comunity she lands in to forgive her in the name of Jebus.

His position as a DJ for a strip club is also unfilled at the moment, and being so "hot" would be a plus for that position.

Im white and Im hot, she can be heard saying.
As this plays on, one of the sisters reporting the harassment to police manages to retain a calm demeanor on the phone as she thanks dispatchers and answers the dispatchers questions.

(51,308 posts)Charlotte is a blue city with people of all races who coexist pretty well.
Our mayor is a black woman who has commented on this awful incident.
From what I understand, there've been summons issued for her arrest, but shes not been found yet. Probably skedaddled back up north.

(51,308 posts)I grew up in Myers Park (before there was a Southpark lol).
Many of my old friends live in that area. Charlotte folks dont like that nonsense; someone will track her down.
I think if even the mayor is paying attention, theyll soon find her hot,white self.

(58,785 posts)she harassed certainly handled this unpleasant situation well.
And now Westwood is an unemployed 51-year-old woman with a nasty and very public record, who'll have to return to your area briefly to face 4 criminal counts she's being charged with.. NOT a good position to be in. At that age, even if she could hide everything else, she'd still be about to discover what it's like to face intense job discrimination.

Whats going on here in this parking lot that you feel that you need to congregate? says Westwood. Im white and I make a $125,000 a year.
What are you doing here, hanging out here on a Friday night? Cut it out. Dont f--- with your life, b---. Cut it out .Get out of here, continues Westwood.
The video shows Leisa Garris going off to call 911.
My car is dead and Im calling AAA. Theres this lady bothering me in front of my door. Please call the police .Shes calling us names and you can smell the alcohol.
Westwood follows her and gets up close before walking away. Another video captures her saying from a distance, Do I need to bring out my concealed weapon too?
Leisa Garris calls 911 once again to send police.
The lady was pushing me in my face .It surprised me. Ive been living here over a year and Ive never been treated this way, said Garris.

(51,658 posts)Alcohol does not make you gay if you are straight (despite what you may have heard from closeted GOP Congressmen!). Nor does it make you a misogynist if you are not one. Nor does it make you get in fights unless you already have rage issues. If you are a racist asshole, and manage to suppress your urge to be yourself when sober, then alcohol reveals you. Oh, and alcohol does not turn you into a rapist, it gets rid of your ability to supress your rape urges. So yeah, Kavanaugh is a stone cold rapist even if he was drunk. And this woman is a racist asshole, with or without alcohol.

The thing is - in Boston, and even more so in the Springfield area - People of color are not the worst you meet. Theirs are NOT "the bad neighborhood". East Boston, Southie, Lynn - If you want trouble with extra-white people, dumb as the are drunk, there are places to start.

getagrip_already
(14,825 posts)I never said they didn't exist. I said they aren't knee deep in MA office culture. At least not visibly, and when they surface they are dealt with.
As a consultant, I work in a lot of places, and with people at all levels of companies, large and small. I just don't see the openly racist types in MA the way I do elsewhere.
And when they exist, people who work with them know about them. Someone as openly hateful as the woman in this story would have been well known.
Now lets leave stalingrads agenda out of this. This woman was well known to her coworkers, and there are likely more where she came from. Spectrum must be a heck of a place to work.

(6,690 posts)I know it's a stretch. But there's a 99% chance calling cops on a black person gets them murdered by cop.
Calling the police on a black person just living life is basically premeditated murder by cop in my opinion. Seems to me job loss, eviction, and social shame doesn't seem to be stopping these people. Maybe all of the above and jail time will.

Roadside Attraction
(238 posts)I was born and reared in rural SW Mississippi. In 1955 (56, I'm not clear) a young black man who worked for my grandfather was lynched by the Klan. That's the way it was then and there.
My granddaddy hated the Klan, didn't care who knew it. For that reason, most of his life he carried a pistol and slept with a shotgun.
I'm about ready to start carrying a pistol and parking Mr. Remington next to my bed.
Why do we have to keep protesting this shit?
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)The latter is slow to come. It comes as previous generations die off, and new ones take their place. As long as the hate isn't kept alive. It's kept alive in some corners of the country, sad to say.
There's been a resurgence in the last decade. Obama's election brought forth the racism to spew all over the country. Giving them legal rights is one thing, but it's too much for them to accept that a black person could have authority over them, they think. Then of course, Trump. He has nurtured this hate.
