^ And damnit, I'm pissed I watched Fox News for nothing.

Seems pretty clear that didn't happen.

Video says it will be on at 5, but that's in the past now. Did anyone watch it?

I think we all wish it were a fake, but it probably isn't. There's no way anyone who didn't believe these things would allow yourself be videoed saying them in this context.

This woman probably isn't mentally ill either. She's terminally nasty and yes bigoted.

https://www.facebook.com/JeremyMcLellanComedy/videos/1510455688995601/

According to the Facebook post, the Muslim woman let another woman cut in front of her in the check out line. The woman began bad mouthing another Muslim woman in the store. The woman then began harassing the first Muslim woman (the one who had let her cut in line). At this point, the Muslim woman began recording the incident. The harasser says, "I wish they didn't let you in the country." The Muslim woman replies by clarifying that she had been born here. The harasser than says that Obama is no longer president and there is not a Muslim in the White House anymore.

Pretty outrageous way to treat someone who has just done you a favor.

Caveat emptor: while much of this interaction is on video, we don't see the entire incident and every story has two sides. If anyone wants to find a way to excuse what is recorded, be my guest.




For me it loooks like Road Range incident than anything else

1. It seems unusual that the blonde woman hasn't been identified yet.
2. The video was originally shared by a comedian who makes it clear that he wants to be credited as the original source (driving immense traffic to his FB page).
3. Th woman who took the video isn't giving any interviews or identifying herself.
4. No news sources have been able to confirm the story with anyone other than the comedian.
I don't doubt whatsoever that this kind of stuff happens every day and I don't fault the woman who took the video for not wanting the attention, but all these things combined don't add up to me.


I actually saw it posted on FB by a friend who was sharing the post of the videographer's husband... He posted the video, tagged Trader's Joe's, and wrote the story of what had happened according to his wife.


Is there an actual crime here? What is tarder Joe's supposed to do?

I didn't get all offended when a black guy told my asian elementary aged kids that white people ain't shit , Fuck Trump. I just thought the guy was an idiot for assuming they were white. I guess we should film everyone.


No crime. A bizarre-seeming interaction, but no crime.

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

That's your takeaway?

Also, Reston is only 5 miles from Great Falls.


I was thinking McLean, for sure. But we're not supposed to talk about that.
