"The criticism at first was so painful I was frankly afraid to say anything. People called me racist. Some even said threatening things that made me fear for my safety," said Whalen, whose husband, Paul, put his hand on her shoulder in comfort her as she spoke. "I knew the truth, but I didn't speak up right away because I did not want to add to the controversy."

“The woman who dialed 911 to report a possible break-in at the home of black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Wednesday she was pained to be wrongly labeled a racist based on words she never said and hoped the recently released recording of the call would put the controversy to rest. With a trembling voice, Lucia Whalen, 40, said she was out walking to lunch in Gates’ Cambridge neighborhood near Harvard University when an elderly woman without a cell phone stopped her because she was concerned there was a possible burglary in progress.”
The People’s Republic of Cambridge...liberals who love all mankind...
I didn’t believe that the AP would report the story with that headline so I had to look for myself. The Mod will probably change it and ask that you stick with the original (makes searches easier).
I wonder if this will cause her to re examine her political leanings?
She’s getting a good dose of liberalism.
Liberal fascists at work again, with unprovoked attacks on private individuals in order to intimidate speakers of truth. If you don’t support the propaganda machine’s party line, the lib-nazis will attack.
I expect more facts in this case...maybe ‘which beer do you like?’
I don’t care to use the original headline. I want to make the same type of headline that the media does to conservatives every day.
If I were a burgler ... gates house would be my very next hit as I know none of his neighbors would dare call the cops now
whitey is always threatened when trying to follow the law when it involved blackie. Those are the rules of the federal government by its funding and affirmative action.
that is one of the large reasons for the race hatred and division in this country today. The playing field is not level and it’s getting to the point very quickly of survival of the fittest, or the better armed.
thanks to the counterfeit racist in the white(can I say that?) house.
Where I live neighbors like this are valued...someone who watches when things aren’t right in the neighborhood and takes action.
Gates should have been thankful for a community like this...willing to look out for his sorry hide. I bet they won’t do it again.
The facts won’t matter to the libs. They never do...
0Buma is NOT the first “black” president. He’s a Mulatto, mixed race.
sometimes, a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged
It’s pretty clear media was playing race baiter and conspired with Obama to create this distraction.
And as usual, these leftwing moonbat Dumbocrats wheels fall off the cart.
Knowing what an @*(#(#( (bodily part with no racial reference) he is, I might even offer to lend a ladder or a crowbar.
Using the original headline is one of the rules of posting here. If you want to comment on the headline the accepted way to do that is to add to the headline in parentheses.
To prevent duplication, please do not change the headline. Thanks.
That figures those libs who love all people and are so kind and caring and generous......PUKE.......
Poor lady no good dead goes unpunished........Next time watch the robbers clean out professor gates home and just sit back and laugh...........
The first thing this person needs to understand she did the right thing. The second is the people who are critizing are low life scum buckets.
