What led up to the outburst? I can’t imagine that level of vitriol unless provoked to an extreme degree.
Maybe the Hispanic woman said that she had voted for Trump.

I wouldn’t say “vitriol”, I’d go with just “POed”. Good ol’ fashioned whatfor. At the very start of the video you can hear the woman say “like everybody else did, it starts back there.” Maybe she was referring to them butting in line?
Elsewhere... the Hispanic woman was almost finished with transaction when her friend came up with additional items.
Not really extreme.. but, there was a LONG line, that everyone was waiting in. Just as the woman at the counter was finishing up, her friend came up and adding things to her basket to check out. One of them had no price tag, so..... they had to send someone out to the store to check the price.
Apparently, that extra wait tipped the older lady over the edge.
The boredom on line for long time waiting to pay for your items can get you tense and irritable and create a short fuse. Aside from using the "f word" in public, I might have thought and maybe said the same thing as Ms. Buckner.
What she said wasn't particular racist, she used no racial/ethnic epithet, and there was no violence.
Wonder if these Hispanic women were illegals. (My guess is that they were, because no claim was made in the Sac Bee article to the contrary.) And if they were, it is a microcosm of the fact that American citizens are sick and tired of out borders being breached and do indeed feel that illegal immigrants should be removed out of the country. That's a legitimate gripe against the federal government, and that's one of the reasons why Trump won the presidency.
And as to the Louisville mayor who stuck his comment into the situation and the local TV station who made it a top story, well, that's what liberals do at every opportunity.
Wonderful woman. Thank you dear.
YOU!
Read the dang link, before you post, just like the rest of us have to do.
What if all dozen of us posted because we were too lazy to read the little linky and view the video?

I was just emulating what this American woman would say.
She took courage for a test drive.
Thought I would try it. :)
