Kentucky Racist Nasty Person

 Jefferson Mall, in Louisville, Kentucky, had a customer today who yelled and screamed at a couple of other customers who were ahead of her in line. The irate racist perceived some slight concerning waiting in line to make a purchase and harassed two other customers because of their race! One of the women ahead of the racist ranter wanted to purchase an item without a price tag, and went back to where she had found it, in an effort to find an identical item with a price tag, so it could be scanned at the register. When she gave the item to the cashier, the customer behind her, the racist ranter, began screaming insults! This happened in JCPenney.

Jefferson Mall has announced its intention to ban the woman, but the fact that no one stepped in to ask her to stop her tirade is troubling. Would it have been terribly difficult for to ask her to be quiet and leave others alone? Could the cashiers, or security in JCPenney, have taken a couple of minutes to ask the woman to calm down or leave the store?

Another troubling factor is the response of Greg Fischer, the mayor of Louisville. He stated, after seeing the video, which went viral on Facebook, that he was "sad and disappointed" at the racist customer's conduct, and that "this is not who we are", meaning the community. He is wrong; it actually IS who they are. If it wasn't, JCPenney's associates would have put a stop to the harassment immediately. Other customers would have asked the woman to stop. In fact, if that customer's behavior does not define the community at some level, she would never have felt free to behave that way at all. Greg Fischer hasn't really reacted to the incident or to the customer's racist rant; he responded to the fact that an embarrassing and very revealing video about his city was downloaded to Facebook.

Vast Conspiracy Against Terri Horman

 

Once again, about four or five people seem to be complaining about the negative attention that Terri Horman has gotton by not testifying in her stepson, Kyron Horman's, missing person case. He disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon, on June 4, 2010. Terri Horman was the last person to see him, and to date, has not given law enforcement factual information about her own whereabouts on that day. She has also failed two polygraphs. That's the extent of her exposure to the search for Kyron.

Since then, Terri Horman has abandoned her daughter, hired not one, but three attorneys, requested delay after delay in all court proceedings related to her relationships with family members, had a restraining order granted against her continueously for at least a couple of years, dodged summons servers, torn down posters with Kyron's picture and information, and attempted to intimidate any person with information about the case. Among other things..... but these are just the foremost examples. Yet...a media source, Anorak, from England has run a badly worded article about "poor Terri" because Kyron's mother filed suit against her in civil court and a judge subsequently referred to Terri as the "prime suspect". Well! Sorry if this is a problem for you, English Journalist, but the state of Oregon actually has a legal vehicle in civil court to stop a noncustodial party from committing custodial interference. Since Kyron's mother loves him and wants him back, she took advantage of civil law! As for being called a "prime suspect" by the judge, what do you think Terri IS in his court room, English Journalist? A court reporter? Terri Horman is the prime suspect, thanks to her own conduct, and would not be in this position had she behaved less like a perpetrator and more like a parent looking for a missing child.

America's Most Wanted recently included a segment about Kyron. In it, John Walsh, host of the show, states that the evidence all seems to point to Terri Horman. You can see the segment in my sidebar. This, too, has thrown the handful of persons who don't want Terri Horman to testify for a loop. Once again, I say, "Get over it".

To this handful of Americans who do not want Terri Horman answering any questions about Kyron or his whereabouts, you can rant on and on about how much you like this particular English newspaper, but remember; had Terri been involved in the same sequence of events in the same manner in a lot of other countries, England included, she would probably be waiting in jail for Kyron to be found and for all the evidence to surface, if she did not want to testify.
