Would that be enough for some of the posters here? Or do you need more?

I wonder why this awful incident inspires so much outrage and wannabe vigilantism, more so than incidents of actual unprovoked physical violence. Physical violence is way worse in my mind. And that happens every day too.

This is just not true.... and you know it.
If it were, this type of post would be commonplace. It isn’t.
She was hateful, bigoted, ill-informed, and just an ugly person.
Most of the people I know who voted for Trump would condemn this type of behavior.
And, maybe if you actually talked to someone who voted for Trump, you could ask them what they think. Because, this isn’t it.


Actually, anecdotally for me, every Trump supporter I know is JUST like this.

Boom. Exactly. This woman just made the mistake of accidentally blurting out her true beliefs to a stranger. Most Trump voters think exactly these same things.

Lastly, she (the blonde) says she's seeking legal counsel. So still no name and no apology from her.


Hmmm. She said that Obama was a Muslim and would be in jail soon. What's to take of of context?


Exactly. Regardless of what happened prior to the video it's obvious she's filled her head with FoxNews/alt-right nonsense.

Maybe they're a little more reserved with their words, but they all think the same way - parroting the same stuff the guy they voted for has said. Oh but they totally don't mean they hate YOU - just those "other" Muslims, terrorists, thugs, immigrants, brown people, and responsible women. You know, you're the good kind.

Well, I read the post above where the woman reportedly indicated she was responding to something outside of what we saw. Those particular alleged comments you mention above are indeed troubling (and factually flawed) but I want to hear her side. Context means...as a factual matter, was she "ambushed" or not? Doesn't excuse the alleged comments, but it would add background.


Well she won't go on camera or identify herself (assuming the caller was even her), so that's apparently as much of "her side" as we're going to get right now. The Fox 5 report said that she is the one who contacted them (they didn't find her). I don't understand how she and her family are getting threats because I still haven't seen her identified anywhere. Has anyone else?

That's what I don't understand either.

But poor blonde white late is totally the victim, and also won't say anything else.

Let me guess - you're white.

Which means you don't have to worry about someone like this "teaching" your kids, mistreating, abusing or persecuting them. Especially if she's a SN teacher, with power over the must vulnerable children.

Yes, she should be fired, if that's indeed her job. And not hired in a position of trust ever again.


Huh how did she abuse someone


You're gaslighting, because no one is this dense.

If you were Muslim, would you trust someone like her to "teach" your kid with SN?

I haven't, but I bet if she has been identified, that the cesspool that is Fairfax Underground is the place with the info. Not going there, though.

Why are you people so outraged by this video. People say crazy and inappropriate stuff all the time.

Apparently this incident is much worse than the woman body slammed at the swimming pool because that thread is only two pages deep.

I think we know why there is more outrage with this incident.

+1. There's still a non-zero chance this is a hoax. Also, I just can't get too worked up about a random person saying mean (or even racist, sexist, or homophobic) things to another adult. It's awful for sure. But it's happened to lots of us, and we are generally able to move on from it without too much trouble.

Physical violence is way more of a big deal to me.
