Why No Arrests Made in Racial Attack on Girl?
- Share via
Please don’t treat the vicious, unprovoked racist attack on Amber Jefferson as some sort of isolated incident. It is all too typical of the provincial, pathetic mind-set of Orange County.
The locals here may fancy themselves sophisticated and cosmopolitan, but when they feel so threatened by a population that accounts for barely 1% of their county’s total they reveal themselves for what they really are: the ignorant, bigoted denizens of one of the most racist cesspools in America.
For the record I am a white, male, native Californian. A corporate transfer brought me to Orange County, and in all honesty I can’t wait until a corporate transfer takes me out of here. I am sick of racist co-workers, police sweeps against the homeless, a Sheriff’s Department that refuses to so much as arrest the racist thugs who attacked a 15-year-old girl, and the whole ugly ambience of this Mississippi with palm trees.
My sympathies go out to this brave girl and her family.
