      In this case I’m going with “power play” and not irrational fear.

      If we were flies on the walls of her house (or trailer) we would probably hear conversations about black folks (not the word she would use) these days not knowing their place like they used to in Mississippi.

      Fear and ignorance are strongly correlated with racism, to be sure. But with this woman, I would bet that ignorance prevails. I would also bet that she is emboldened by what is going on now, by Trump, because she didn’t think there would be consequences for pulling a gun on black people for no reason. She worked at the park, Trump is her president, and she felt like showing them who is boss, just like the old days. A power play, most definitely.

      It’s sad. I see an overweight old woman, possibly a mother, possibly a grandmother, an ignorant old fool, brandishing a weapon and dangerous. The country is better when she drops dead and the same for all those like her. These people NEVER change, they NEVER learn.

      A child was murdered and they’re not going to hold the killer cop accountable but want to give him his job back? Jeff Follmer wants a killer cop rewarded for killing a 12 year old Black kid. OMG! Unbelievable!
