Kalyn Chapman James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title, posted a tearful video on her Facebook page Sunday that says she doesn't want to "feel this way" but she finds it hard to be sad for the Dallas police officers and "can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr."
She later clarified her thoughts and expressed her condolences to the families of the slain officers in a statement to AL.com.
James, who was Miss Alabama in 1993 and attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and is now a TV host living in Miami. She is a native of Mobile.
She posted the more than two-minute Facebook Live video on her Facebook page Sunday afternoon. She was in a car and stated she had just left church.
"I don't want to feel this way" James states in the video. "I don't feel sad for the officers who lost their lives ... I know that's not really my heart. I value human life. And I want to feel sad for them but I can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr," she says in the video.
Needs to be stripped of the title IMMEDIATELY.
Check that , she needs to be FIREDV from her job on TV (PBS) in Miami.
We have a winner! Congratulations, young woman. You have just won a free, one way ticket to Africa, to a country willing to give you citizenship, of your choice.
Of course, you will need to irrevocably surrender your US citizenship at the same time. But that is a small price to pay to live in a place free of police oppression.
When people live in free housing, get free college, and are given everything they do not learn values.
Simply satanic.
Her employers should fire her. Someone at Subway lost their job for posting something less incendiary than this.
Wow, she’s hopelessly racist. Not only is she not blaming the shooter for being a murder but deifies him to the status of holy matyr for “the cause”.
UPDATE: AOL reported that she was fired. Not true. She was suspended for a while. After all, it’s PBS and tax dollars.
Hmm interesting. There was so much liberal Outrage for her firing it seemed real.
