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, and 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 status.

Her looks suggest NOT GUILTY. From the article and the pic: mentally unstable. Therefore GUILTY.

Yup. I was worried that I was the only one thinking "Boy is she crazy looking! But I bet she cleans up real nice..."

Oh yes! A great film! Very good example of a modern film in Kurosawa’s style.

Oh yeah! There are so many great Asian films. I think a lot of conservatives would really appreciate much of the cinema from the Orient. Kurosawa is definitely the master!

A question: Has anyone seen a news report that mentions a sword that is NOT a ‘samurai sword’?

Yep, but that’s to be expected in resort towns in general.

I don't understand, Harris appears to be a black woman.

We know that no black person can be racist or commit a "hate" crime.

There must be some misunderstanding here, or maybe the cops are claiming she's white "this time".
