Well it finally happened. And I'm beyond livid.

So my (step) daughter goes out daily to walk the dog. She's 11 and well known, and liked, around the neighborhood. And there is an elderly widow who walks her dog every day so TJO and her have become friends and walk the dogs together. So I don't worry too much about harm coming to her.
I do tend to look out the window when she's out there though. Guess maybe I worry more than I let on. Anyway, yesterday, some pos was driving by and started shouting at TJO, "GO BACK TO YOUR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY YOU FUCKIN GOOK!". Did I mention that TJO is Asian?
Well, the widow and a neighbor who was working on his car started yelling at the idiot as he was driving away to get the f out of our neighborhood! And...TJO yelled at him "Trump sucks!" She may have gotten that from me, but I digress. I ran outside to see what was happening and the witnesses told me. The guy working on his car said that his wife had already called the cops and the widow said if we see him again she would help TJO if she needed help. I talked to the cop who showed up and indicated that if I saw the "guy" again, he was going to get an ass kicking. The cop told me to calm down, that apparently this may be the same guy that has been heard yelling at other minorities around town. All while in the safety of his moving car. Just another gutless trumpite coward.

What a racist piece of human garbage to verbally assault a child like that. I LOVE the fact that she yelled back at him that trump sucks - even at eleven years old this bright young lady understands that the problem is HIM and trumpy people like him! You taught her well, a lot of youngsters her age might have internalized that hate and wrongly assumed that maybe something was wrong with them, but she rejected that! Brava!!!

There's millions of them, all in the sunlight since Trump lifted the rock they were slithering under when he came down that escalator with his immigrant wife.

As for the daughter, she's a wonder-woman and I hope her father took pains to reward her for her composure and her very, very apt remark about the current unelected occupant of the WH.

Also, glad the family is in a neighborhood that shares their view of Trumpy racism and slobbery.

As for the police, yes, good on them. I hope they catch up with this cowardly bag of unpolished turds. But the cops advice was, of course, right on. It is best -- even when your child is verbally attacked from a passing car -- to avoid physical encounters because a)you might get hurt or killed and/or b)the racist snot-bubble might get hurt or killed by you in which case you could wind up behind bars.

Bigotry is done free of charge in this country.

I'll bet he is doing it because it either makes him feel good about himself or he actually thinks what he yells will get the results he hopes for.

Either way, there will be no shortage of Trumpyites in the coming years, of that I am sure.


These people, at their core, are terrified their "Father Knows Best/Leave it to Beaver/As White As We Can Be" TV Land America is going away, and they just don't know what to make of it, so they are lashing out.

Expect a SHITLOAD more of this sort of thing.


Just wait till the Evangelicals start getting more pushback, and the incompetent and unqualified judges McConnell rammed through start getting impeached!

Boy, that will be a scene!

your family was exposed to this aggressive ignorance and hatred. I have numerous family & friends who are Asian-Americans, and have been aware of the increase in episodes like this. And I can relate to your hoping to encounter the asswipe, to communicate in the language he understands. Oh, yes I do!

I used to keep close track of my daughters when they were that age. One day, a man stopped his car to talk to them -- until he saw me headed quickly his way. I'm old, but can still do a fuck of a lot of damage when it comes to my girls. He sped off, and I got enough information to identify the car when I called the police. Theyfound and warned him, and told the girls' mother they weren't going to identify him to me, as they thought I'd do harm to him.

Wed Jul 8, 2020, 01:24 PM
Jul 2020

one of the best tools is to post the video on nextdoor and/or facebook and tag local police department while simultaneously file report with police. It is of paramount importance these incidents are made public, otherwise police may not even care. But they sure will when they need to answer to the entire neighborhood. Remember, in all likelihood, every singe police department in this country has at least one racist working there - you can never 100% trust they’ll do the right thing, you must demand it - you are their ultimate employer.

the people who should be pulled over regularly for no particular reason other than the car is suspicious as having been involved in incidents. A few times per day he is stopped by police. That could get old very quickly.

They're in their 20s, starting out in the world. And all of a sudden they see the world as a lot less friendly. I'm glad they used to not feel this kind of racism -- only occasionally -- but now it has them a bit scared.

Sorry this happened to TJO. She sounds like a great kid, able to handle a lot, especially with your support.
