4. "If Crystal had been a 59-year-old white lady"

Caldwell's attorney, M. John Strafaci, criticized the lapse in an interview with Fox 61.

"If Crystal had been a 59-year-old white lady from Mystic, Connecticut, and it was two Black individuals that brutally assaulted her, the two Black individuals would've been arrested on the spot and incarcerated," Strafaci said.

9. In other Administrations they'd be up for Federal hate crime charges; in the trump maladministration

they'll be candidates for the Medal of Freedom and a Noble Prize.

11. They'll be tried in state court, no pardons possible.

10. It's been all over the news here for weeks. That was one nasty beat down of the poor hotel worker.

The poor victim had her skull fractured in the beating. Hope they throw the book at those two.

12. Given the different ages and the different last names, are they cheating on spouses? . . . nt

13. Crystal Caldwell, you deserve more than that horrible motel with horrible people.

These two lowlifes were right about one thing: you don't belong there, where you have to deal with crude sadistic thugs like them. The film shows that you are clearly above them in character. I wish you much better fortune after this.

PS Is there a Go-Fund Me page for this lady?

15. on top of criminal charges

it should be time to start filing civil charges and taking whatever assets these people have.

[Hortensis]

16. Cameras everywhere. A threat to the civil liberties of all,

but definitely to those who use their liberty to commit hate crimes. If I were the clerk I'd also be relieved that they won't be coming for a third attack. Hope they throw the book at them.

"I am rejoicing and I'm praising the Lord right now," Caldwell told the Courant. "I'm praising the Lord. Overwhelmed."

17. Lock them up!!!!!
