"I just kept recording her. She's just going at the mouth, with the racial slurs. The N words," the passenger who recorded her rant, 33-year-old Vladimir Philidore, told News 12.

"Some people were scared, especially the elderly people, he told PIX 11. "She tried to knock the phone out my hand and she started choking me."

Police located the bus after police were called, pulled her off the vehicle and arrested, ABC 7 reported. She is scheduled to appear in court July 19, according to the station.

Racist people are getting pretty bold these days. I wonder are they always this angry? Or do they just get set off by insignificant things like minorities being in their presence?

Sheesh.

She was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct. After further investigation, Messiano has now been charged with criminal obstruction of breathing and aggravated harassment, according to the Rockland County Sheriff.

From another article. "Criminal obstruction of breathing." A nice specific charge for choking someone.

Step 1 - Accuse anything and everything of being "racist".
Step 2 - Wait for people to stop taking accusations of "racism" seriously.
Step 3 - Twist this into a claim that "no one cares about racism anymore".

...what exactly do you think is going to happen in step 4? People magically stop being racist?

Is your argument here that this woman isn't racist?

Your "step 1" has nothing to do with this topic, so I don't see why you even posted it. A woman went on a racist rant on a bus and got arrested. This isn't "accusing anything and everything of being racist." This is observing a woman going on a racist rant and calling it what it is.

Okay, let me break it down for you.

Liberals crying "racism" at everything has pretty much killed any impact or meaning that word has. When people hear "racism", their reaction now isn't "oh shit something bad is happening", it's "ugh, people making a scene over nothing again".

Then, the same liberal sources claim "look, no one cares about racism anymore".

Finally, people like this woman hear this, and think "oh look, it's fine to be racist now".

Which you know damn well is what I was getting at, but your refusal to ever consider that liberals may in any way be responsible for anything negative caused you to get all defensive and ignorant, to the point of somehow twisting that into "DT is saying this woman isn't racist".

You asked why racists are getting so bold these days, I answered, so don't claim the answer was irrelevant just because it doesn't suit you.

Hahahah I love watching the liberal media come up with garbage like this that shouldnt even be local news.

Theyre trying to make the conservatives look equally as bad, after one of theirs physically assaulted two children and screamed the N word.

That can never be undone and its the image most of us have of the that side.

Theyre trying to take things that shouldnt even be in the news to try to show that theyre not the only ones who are racist.

That guys racist, violent assault of the children was a crippling blow to the dying Democratic Party. They simply cannot handle any more negative image

People have thought it was "fine to be racist" in this country for centuries. You can try to pretend it's some new phenomenon, but the only "new" thing here is that smartphones with cameras are incredibly ubiquitous. The ability to upload videos for the world to see with a couple taps has given people an easy way to show what is happening around them.

Stuff like this has been happening for ages. We're just seeing it more because of smartphones and people wanting to record everything with them now.

I know exactly what you're getting at. I just wanted you to spell it out so I can break down why you're incorrect. I say "racist people are getting bold these days" because racist people used to hide their faces behind hoods and sheets and shit. If they didn't hide their faces, it was because they knew they could get away with it. Now they just do it out in the open even with people recording them.

And I answered exactly why that's the case. You can't ask "why are racists so bold these days" then cry "that's not relevant, this is about one specific case" when someone explains the general trends that lead to the situation you're asking about. The fact that the answer is highly unfavorable to your political views doesn't change that.

I never asked why racist people are so bold these days. I said racist people are bold these days and asked if they're always so angry. Reading comprehension would help you quite a bit.

See, if those people didn't want to be called n-words then maybe the mean old liherals shouldn't have been making a fuss when people go out and make racist rants on public transportation.

Or, maybe if the liberals care so much about opposing racism, they shouldn't trivialize it to an extent that the accusation becomes meaningless and racists have little reason to be afraid to speak their mind?

A literal piece of human shit who deserves to get her ass beat is in the OP, yet all conservacucks can do is say "I don't care, libs can be racist too". If the video evokes an I don't give a fuck reaction out of you then you aren't much better than her.

It's so weird. All racist people I knew growing up acted this way candidly, and around a small group of people almost discreetly. But when social media took off like this, it's almost like they just said "fuck it!" and just let all the hate out.

You'd think essentially being monitored at all times would suppress it.

Yeah, I would have assumed that the ubiquity I love that word of smartphone cameras would suppress that stuff further, but it just isn't the case.

The half that stopped paying attention when things that have nothing to do with race got branded "racist", or when literally refusing to treat people differently based on their race got branded "racist".

If the video in the OP is indeed an act of racism then why even go on your rant and get upset that people are talking about it? If you believe that racism is an overblown issue, then why not reserve your comments to a more appropriate context with a more ambiguous racial issue instead of one where a person is going on a racist tirade and is assaulting people?

Exactly. Do you know how hard it was to record video in the 80s/90s, let alone upload that shit to the internet?

You'd have to be always carrying around a big ass video camera



Then you'd have to load in one of these bad boys



Turn that sum bitch on, which takes a few minutes...

Hit record and point that big monster at what you're trying to record.

Then somehow you'd have to convert the film on that VHS tape to digital... Not even sure how you'd do that off the top of my head. Then upload all that crap over a sub-56kbps connection to a server that likely only holds a few megabytes of data in the first place. Hell to the naw.

These days it just takes a few taps of virtual buttons on a touch-screen to do all that.
