video of Orlando racist's arrest










ORLANDO, Fla. — A video of an Orlando woman cursing and shouting racial slurs at Black landscapers as they finished up a job at her neighbor's house has gone viral.

Brandon Cordova told the Orlando Sentinel that he and his crew were almost done with their shift last Thursday when the woman approached two of his coworkers. Cordova said he pulled out his cellphone and started filming. He later posted the video on Facebook.

The woman approached twins Antonio and Antione Harris, a foreman and supervisor with A Cut Above The Rest Landscaping, respectively.

Cordova said she didn't tell the crew what she was upset about before her rant began.

”She was in my coworkers’ face ... just going off. ... She was trying to say all those hateful things, and they weren’t even being bothered — they were joking around. The more they were joking around, the more she got mad,” Cordova said.

If she didn't get a rise out of those guys the first time you screamed at them, what makes her think they'll respond the 10th time or the 15th time? But she seemed pretty secure in thinking that the people she was screaming at wouldn't give her the beatdown she was asking for.

That was really weird. She is definitely mentally ill in any case.

I loved the guys joking around as they left. "Quit winking at me - I don't like you like that!"

get your karma back in balance by going to the top and watching her arrest again.
I wouldn't doubt this lady didn't even go to a jail holding cell - she was probably taken straight to a mental evaluation.

Sniff out the source?

Unreasonable and over the top, it's deep in her brain, she's below average and this is the result?

I don't accept the under the influence excuse, I have been drunk a time or two or 50, and no one reported back to me that I was yelling racist shit, the feedback I got is I apparently love hugs.

I changed, no more booze at all, even though it was never a problem, I know it can become one and is bad for the liver and kidneys and now that I am over 50, why take chances?
