1. Old news. Also, there was follow-up information about the white lady - turns out she was suffering

from a mental disturbance brought on by a head injury, and her husband posted an apology on Twitter to explain.

The husband runs a law firm, and his wife up until this incident had a high profile in the firm. So it's plausible that her being mentally ill is being put forth to protect his reputation and business. On the other hand, maybe she is mentally ill.

The husband claimed she’s been paranoid since a home break-in, and paranoia doesn’t lead a person to become a vile racist. Seems like a predictable CYA story.

Here’s one of the sources about this, there are others. Her husband apologized, which may or may not have been due to a massive number of negative online reviews for his business. The woman herself has not apologized for her racist assault.

getting sick and tired of they suffered a head wound, or they suffered this, etc. Step up and admit that they were being idiots and apologize for just plain bad behavior.
