Police: Woman Chases Kids With Samurai Sword

EAGLE, Colo. -- An Eagle woman accused of chasing a group of Hispanic children with a sword faces a number of charges, including ethnic intimidation, after allegedly calling them "illegal spics," according to police.

Amanda Jane Darling Harris, 21, allegedly chased the children, aged 9 to 15, with an 18-inch samurai sword because they were playing in a parking lot of the Villa apartments, according to a police report.

Police investigated the incident on Sept. 20, and Harris was jailed until she posted a $3,500 bond this week.

According to the police report, the teens said Harris yelled at the children, "If you're scared, then you're guilty." That is when they said she chased them with the sword.

One boy said Harris grabbed him and held the sword to his throat, telling him he "needed to stop causing her problems."

A girl told police that Harris chased and grabbed her and threatened to cut off her ponytail.

Harris chased the other five children through the parking lot, brandishing the sword, according to her arrest affidavit.

The children told police that Harris called them "little f****ing wetbacks" and told them to go back to their own country.

Arresting officers said Harris stated that she should have hurt one of the "illegals" if she knew she was going to go to jail over it.

Harris was arrested in her third-floor apartment on suspicion of menacing -- use of a deadly weapon, misdemeanor third-degree assault with a weapon, ethnic intimidation and harassment.

Harris is employed by Pooh Corner Preschool in Minturn, Colo., according to the arrest report. A spokeswoman for the preschool said she couldn't comment on Harris' current employment status.

And what did you do with your sword?

It depends on the time of year. At Halloween I'd paint it gray and throw it over my shoulder and go as a gas pump.

During the summer I worked as a lifeguard and I would toss it to drowning people and drag them safely from the water.

Why does she have to be crazy? Is bi-polar the new ADD or something? Maybe she's just a plain ol' white trash beeyatch. There are lots of those who behave in this manner.

I take it you think this is rational behavior if it's done by a low class person!?! Is sanity a relative thing?

Rational, no. Surprising, also no.

Low class people behave in a low class manner, thus the label. They are rarely rational.

It is not a matter of sanity. It is a matter of knowing how to behave.

Sounds like you are confusing white trash with poor. Not the same thing.

That's why I only used the soft sword. Silly hillbilly.

I see. So you think 'low class' and 'irrational' are synonymous but you don't think irrational behavior is 'crazy?' Just how do you define insanity then if it is not irrational behavior?

Sounds like you are confusing white trash with poor. Not the same thing.

I eagerly await your illuminating definition of 'white trash' so that I won't confuse that with class distinctions anymore.

Judging by that snotty remark alone, I am not interested in any continued conversation with you. You do not strike me as someone from whom I can learn anything, and I do not post here to engage in petty arguments.

Have a lovely afternoon.

I read the headline too fast and thought it was “Policewoman chases kids with samurai sword.”

Sometimes I want to hear both side before I comment but I am hard pressed for what it could be this time. She should have learned in preschool not to to play or run with scissors and other sharp objects. She dose not help in the fight against ILlegal immigration.

Do you think name the La Raza is ethnic intimidation and harassment.
