A young woman (presumably Black or Latino) was walking her dog in South Florida earlier this week, when she began being followed by an older white woman, telling her to leave. Upon asking the white woman if this was her property and that if so, she’d be glad to leave, she told her no – and that’s when the young woman had the intuition to being filming their encounter.
It’s lucky that she did, as not only did the woman tell her she’s following her because “you’re part of South Miami,” she later tried to grab her camera and assault her – to which she was welcomed with a nice knock on the face. But why did she have the nerve to be surprised and upset that she got hit?! SMH! There’s a happy ending here, though, as the older woman was eventually arrested for assault.
Thank goodness for camera phones, because we all know how that narrative would have been spun by this racist woman if there was no video!
