Florida woman arrested for spitting on black kids and saying she'll hang their family from a tree

No, this wasn't 1955.
No, this wasn't an 80 year old woman from a different era.
On July 5th, 2015, 29 year old Lisa Marie Elberson was arrested in Lake County, Florida for aggravated assault, child abuse, and simple battery after spitting on black children, chasing them with a baseball bat, calling them niggers, and saying she'll hang their family from a tree.
But racism is dead, right?
See the video below that someone was able to record and hand deliver to the police. Without it, she'd still be free.
It's almost to the point where it's advisable for everyone to keep cameras on at all times.
Sigh.
Entire short post. Phone wouldn't let me post video link

(17,635 posts)will just increase her hate and sense of victimization by "those people".
Not saying she shouldn't have been arrested and charged, just hope someone figures out how to get through to people like this and reduce the hate rather than increasing it.
