A woman accused of using racial epithets while waiting for food at a Connecticut Taco Bell drive-through window was arrested Wednesday.
Jennifer Farrelly, 19, of East Windsor, has been charged with ridicule on account of race, creed or color and second-degree breach of peace. Farrelly's boyfriend, Eric Satterlee, 22, of Ashford, was charged with breach of peace in the incident.
On Dec. 18, Farrelly and Satterlee became frustrated by the slow service at the Taco Bell restaurant on Brookside Place, according to an arrest warrant. Farrelly banged on the drive-through window and called the Taco Bell attendant, Jamelle Byrd, a racial epithet, according to the warrant. Satterlee allegedly cursed and banged on the window.
Farrelly denied using racial epithets when she was interviewed by police, saying Byrd caused the dispute by ridiculing her for parking her car far away from the drive-through window, the warrant states. Byrd's supervisor told police that Byrd should not have been working the drive-through because he had gotten into a similar incident with another customer, the warrant states.

Maybe he should have said "Chapati"?

You're preaching to the choir there Martin.
I don't eat anything that teenagers have a hand in making. There's just no way I'm taking the risks involved in having a pissed off 16 year old putting together my meal.
Just the idea makes me feel a little green around the gils.

Some people have about as much respect for the First Amendment as they do the Second Amendment. Or the now non-existant Tenth.

I think THIS is ridiculous! You can be charged with ridicule now?? The sad thing is, I thought judges lately have been sentencing people to ridicule. Is it now wrong to sentence someone to wearing a billboard in public explaining their crime to their fellow citizens?

BUT, is everybody on this list prepared to accept that people get to say anything they want? I can think of lots of things that the far left says that I find abhorrent, that I suspect many on this list would like to stop.And you call yourself a rabid libertarian?

Thought police alive and well.
The percived constitutional right to feel comfortable has now surpassed the actual constitutional right to free speech.
