Mom allegedly attacks 81-year-old woman who called her out for cutting in movie theater line

Style and Beauty Writer
Police are searching for a mom
who allegedly grabbed an 81-year-old woman by the hair and dragged her
to the ground following a verbal altercation outside a movie theater on
Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
The elderly woman, who prefers to go unnamed, told NBC New York that she was waiting outside the AMC 84th Street 6 theater to buy a ticket for the movie Dumbo
when a mom and her two children seemed to cut the line. Though the
woman didn’t know whether or not the rude move was intentional, she did
want to speak up about it.
“I
went like this,” the woman said as she motioned with one finger to
demonstrate how she touched one of the children. “Just the gentlest
touch. I just went like that to her daughter.” The woman says that’s all
it took for the mom to become belligerent.
“Well, she just opened up her mouth,” the woman said. “She became so violent. I was just, like, shocked.”
She
said she tried to apologize to the mom, but that only seemed to provoke
her further. Eventually, the younger woman resorted to physical
violence.
The
woman said she felt someone come behind her and grab her by the hair.
“I just felt this dragging of my hair, and I felt myself go down and
crash,” the woman told NBC New York. She allegedly fell backwards,
hitting her head. She was soon taken to the hospital, where she was treated for dizziness, pain and swelling, according to a police report sent to Yahoo Lifestyle.
“They
X-rayed the thing and they said, thank goodness, there was no
bleeding,” the woman said. Doctors told her she was very lucky she
didn’t sustain a concussion.
The
mom and her children fled the theater, but police were able to capture
her on surveillance video wearing a red shirt, black leggings and red
sneakers, with a fanny pack around her waist.
“The individual is described as a female, Hispanic, long dark hair, mid 30′,” according to the police report.
The NYPD encourages anyone with information on the assault to contact its Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Alternatively, you can visit the Crime Stoppers website or text tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577. The NYPD vows to keep all calls and tips confidential.

( this backfired.... please read ALL words and pass on. Read bold at bottom ) Woman harassed 74-year-old man for wearing MAGA hat in Starbucks: 'Get the f*** out of my town'
(please pass it on.... Is this how you want your relative to be treated by anyone?) It doesn't matter if disagree... this is WRONG.
Woman harassed 74-year-old man for wearing MAGA hat in Starbucks: 'Get the f*** out of my town'
On Monday, Palo Alto local Rebecca Parker Mankey told her followers on Facebook that she reamed out a 74-year-old man, reportedly named Victor F., at Starbucks for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
“Anybody in Palo Alto knows this freak,”
Mankey wrote alongside
photos of the man. “He was sitting in Starbucks. I think he lives in
Palo Alto. He will never forget me and will think seriously about
wearing that hat in my town ever again. If you see him in this hat,
please confront him. You do not want to be the person who didn’t speak
up as we slipped into fascism.”
She continued, “I yelled at him. Called the entire Starbucks to order
and yelled at him more about how it is not ok to hate brown people. He
threatened to call the cops. I left after yelling at him some more.”
After her lunch break, Mankey said she returned to Starbucks. “I
went back in and yelled that I had changed my mind and wanted him to
call the police because I wanted to know his name, where he lived, his
wife’s name, and where his kids went to school,” she wrote.
Mankey said she followed Victor outside yelling to “Get the f*** out of my town and never come back.”
“It is the duty of every white person in America to stand up to this
every time they see it,” wrote Mankey. “Don’t be the person who does
nothing to protect our brothers and sisters from this hatred. It is not
OK.”
According to
KPIX CBS,
Mankey pledged to “publicly shame” the man and “try to get him fired,”
writing, “I am going to go to his house and march up and down carrying a
sign that says he hates black people. I am going to organize protests
where he works to make him feel as unsafe as he made every brown person
he met today.”
A woman named Amy of the Twitter account “Right Hook USA” tweeted
Tuesday, “Parker Mankey is doxxing an old man on Facebook because he
wore a MAGA hat in public.” Amy called Mankey’s husband’s boss “to show
them the violence their employees’ wife is promoting.”
Amy tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “I was extremely disturbed when I
learned that an elderly man was being humiliated and harassed in public
by a vicious bully. I was even more saddened to learn that this gentle
old Jewish man has been a pillar in the Palo Alto community for over
forty years. I hope and pray that this incident leads to greater
tolerance and respect among all Americans, instead of greater hatred and
rage.”
Worried someone would hurt the elderly man, Amy called the Palo Alto Police Department. A police spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle there is no incident report on file because a victim has not come forward.

On Wednesday, Victor told
KPIX CBS,
“This crazy woman came over and started raving at me. She turned
to the rest of Starbucks and said, ‘Hey everybody, here’s this racist
over here. He hates brown people, he’s crazy, he’s a Nazi,’ and so
forth.” Victor wears a yarmulke under his
MAGA hat.
Mankey and her husband closed down their Facebook pages.
On Tuesday, Gryphon Stringed Instruments, where Mankey worked as an accountant, wrote, “We would like to make it clear that we do not condone harassment or hate speech of any kind. We are currently addressing the matter internally. Thank you for your concern.”

Later, the store added, “The employee in
question has been terminated. Gryphon does not believe anyone should be
harassed or subject to hate speech no matter their beliefs.
Music has
historically been something that has brought people of diverse socio-political backgrounds together.”
On Tuesday, an organization called Bayshore Progressive Democrats, reportedly co-chaired by Mankey, said she and her family were getting death threats. “Parker
felt strongly that she wanted to use her privilege as a white woman to
stand up for those who are living in fear because of the hateful
atmosphere fostered by Trump,” read a website statement. “Unfortunately,
the manner in which she chose to stand up against a slogan that stands
for racism led to an even stronger hateful response that has endangered
her and her family.”
Mankey resigned from the organization the next day. “Earlier
today, the officers of the Bayshore Progressive Democrats (BPD)
received and accepted Parker Mankey’s resignation as co-chair,
officer, and member of our organization,” according to another
statement.
“From the standpoint of BPD, this matter is now closed. Bayshore
Progressive Democrats seeks a world that works for everyone, where all
humans have a chance to realize their full potential and to live lives
of dignity. Harassment and abuse are inconsistent with these values, and
we reject the use of such tactics in civil society.”
A Starbucks representative tells Yahoo Lifestyle
that employees at the California Avenue location weren’t aware of the
incident until both Mankey and Victor left.

Candidate apologizes for attending 'Black Press Only' event
Candidate apologizes for attending 'Black Press Only' event
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A mayoral candidate in Georgia is apologizing for attending an event that barred reporters unless they were African-American.
Savannah city councilman Van Johnson told reporters Friday: "I know in this case I did offend. And today I apologize for my actions."
Johnson is among three black candidates who have announced campaigns this fall to challenge Savannah Mayor Eddie DeLoach, who is white.
A meeting at a church Wednesday sought to unite Savannah's black community behind a single candidate. Signs at the door said "Black Press Only!" and white reporters were denied entry.
Johnson spoke during the event and later told reporters prohibited from attending: "It's not my meeting."
Johnson said Friday if the meeting "excluded other folks ... I would be one of the first ones to be outraged."

A Georgia politician who joined an election meeting for “black only” press said he failed to act inclusively.

Georgia politician apologizes for attending meeting for 'black press only'
A Georgia politician who joined an election meeting for “black only” press said he failed to act inclusively.

Mayoral candidate Van Johnson, Savannah’s First District representative, checked in at meeting at the Bolton Street Baptist Church last Wednesday to talk with other mayoral candidates and journalists before the November election, according to the Savannah Morning News.
Signs that read “no audio or video recording” and “black press only” hung on the church doors.
One non-black reporter from Savannah television station WTOC was reportedly not allowed inside.
Johnson has since apologized for taking part.
On Thursday, Johnson told WTOC, “I was invited as a 2019 Savannah mayoral candidate to give a candidacy statement to a gathering of African-American community leaders. I accepted this invitation as an opportunity to share my vision for a progressive Savannah, as I have with business, civic, labor, neighborhood, veteran, political, Latino/Hispanic and LGBTQ groups in private and public settings. I did not coordinate or schedule this event and did not participate in any of the discussions beyond giving my statement….”
“While this decision of this group is unfortunate,” he continued “I work toward the day when we trust each other enough to be inclusive in all of our gatherings.”
He also addressed the situation at a local meeting on Friday.
“While I had a responsibility to the people inside, I also had a responsibility to the people outside,” he said. “I had this unique opportunity to be that bridge, to build communication and to encourage understanding, but on this singular occasion, I did not perform as I always have. And today, I apologize for my actions in this instance.
“I’m human,” he added later. “I make mistakes.”
The event was reportedly organized by Rev. Clarence Teddy Williams, who owns the consulting company The Trigon Group. A Trigon Group spokesperson did not return Yahoo Lifestyle’s interview request, and Williams is reportedly not commenting on the meeting.
According to the Associated Press, Regina Thomas, a former Georgia senator who is running for mayor, was not at the meeting because it wasn’t inclusive and she had other plans. Thomas was unreachable by Yahoo Lifestyle.
“This is not my idea,” Chatham County commissioner Chester Ellis, who did attend the controversial meeting, said before entering the church, according to the Savannah Morning News.
Yahoo Lifestyle contacted meeting members, including former Mayor Edna Jackson, Alderman Estella Shabazz, Commissioner Ellis and candidates Johnson and Louis Wilson. None returned requests for comment.

Step away from Social Media because you're making an ass out of yourself. Yes.. YOU!
You are an adult and your fingers are proving how stupid you sound.
Yes..... YOU !
They make fun of your photos, and all of your "Me Me" moments. NO ONE thinks that you're all that....trust me. LOL
Real adults don't need to be hooked up to a phone, they have REAL people to talk to. They dine with those adults, go the theater, have lunch with them, have BBQ's with them, meet them for drinks etc etc etc.
