A “Ghostbusters” cameraman helped police track down a woman who police said pushed a 72-year-old grandmother to the ground in Chinatown, leaving her with a fatal head injury.

The attack took place about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at Essex and Chauncy streets, where a scene from the remake of the hit movie was being shot.

Tajanetta Downing, 24, of 
Jamaica Plain later told officers she was crossing the street when an elderly woman bumped into her, police said.

Seems the old lady in this case was asian. Almost white, by the left’s standards.

Somehow, I don’t think that the bailiff is buying what she’s selling.

[popdonnelly]

Asian privilege. She had it coming. /s

[grimalkin]

Yes, he’s not a happy man.

[Bigg Red]

Jeez, Lady Buck, lady up with the language, huh?

Must have been accidental assault.

You should see the mid-day gathering of creatures like her at Downtown Crossing, a few blocks up the street. Feral central. It is usually loaded with school age ferals during the academic year. Are there no more truant officers?

But no “hate crime” since we all know only WHITES are capable of that eh?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

“Check out the look on the bailiff’s face. Pretty much says it all.”

I saw that...I bet he’s itching to get a few licks in.

Victim must have been wearing a Confederate Flag shirt...

[Molon Labbie]

Immediate violence is so ingrained in this culture they just don’t give a rip who they do it to.

#AsianLivesDon’tMatter

Screen your retirement homes carefully, abuse is common against the elderly with this demographic.

Asians, especially Chinese, Japanese, and SE Asians are SuperWhite, at least insofar as colleges and other government discriminatory agencies are concerned.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Hmmmm... 3 pending assault charges,
one of which will be either manslaughter/homicide..
...and she is now distraught???

[popdonnelly]

Black entitlement. Get off my crosswalk!

No, Gimmedat.

It is refreshing to see someone use the term “Negroes” - a perfectly good & once noble designation for a race. - I am almost 69 years old & that was the only designation I had ever heard until fairly recent years, when suddenly it became forbidden to use it.

First time I ever had a comment removed, and I’ve said much harsher things, in rougher language.

After everything we’ve seen, heard, and had our noses shoved into, isn’t it a wee bit late for pearl clutching?

[moovova]

I noticed that...no love lost there.

[ladyjane]

What a picture. What is she wearing - a bathing suit for fat gals?

The Herald has now cropped the picture on their website.

And they have disabled the comments. LOL

I am 69 years old. I unconsciously went along with the interminable changing of the word for dark-skinned people at least some of whose ancestors came from Africa. One day I realized I was in a quandary over whether to write "black" or "Afro American." It struck me then that if one is to refer to such a person by race then the traditional word is "Negro." I have used it ever since and have tried to purge my language generally of PC crap. I don't use "nigger" even though that is but the southern pronunciation of "N-e-g-r-o" and I am a Southerner because my mother who was of Northern origin insisted "nice" -read "Northern"- people "don't say that," meaning that northerners who she always thought of as more refined than southerners gave the word a Northern pronunciation.

Back in the heyday of the Civil Rights hassles southerners worked hard to learn to say "knee-grow" and about when they got it down to where they could say it without tying their tongues in knots the word was officially banned by the Yankee Language Transformation Office. Then we went through African American and Black and Afro American and black again and Afro-Am and just African and as each term became identified as pejorative it had to change again. I will stick with "Negro."
