A Salem City woman is being sought by police for her alleged role in a brutal attack on a 27-year-old woman Tuesday. Latia Harris, 25, is accused of assaulting Catherine Ferreira and threatening to kick the woman's 2-year-old son while a crowd of onlookers stood and watched, some of them recording the beating with their cell phones rather than intervening.

It’s a shame those heroic commenters weren’t around to save the day.
To: Kid Shelleen
I would have enjoyed getting in the middle of that one.

Likely any white person attempting to intervene would have been torn apart by the crowd of negros enjoying the spectacle.
To: Kid Shelleen
I certainly would have called the police and stayed on the phone with dispatch until they got there, but as a 69 year old female, I would not have thrown myself into the fight. Now, taken the child out of reach? Yes.

I would have but only if I had a gun and she turned on me after I told her to stop. But then I’d probaly get whooped by the crowd for breaking up a free fight night.

Probably because all those heroic commenters work for a living.
To: Kid Shelleen
I like to think that I would have done something.
Truthfully though, I probably wouldn’t have. :(

And you would have been arrested and made the next George Zimmerman.
That said I like to think I would have intervened to at least stop the beating. I certainly would have called 911.
Any Freepers carry mace when they don't carry firearms ?

Honestly? Me? NO!!! Hell no. What would be seen? A white man, attacking a black muslim woman. My life would have been destroyed and it is a very dangerous place for a what man to fight any black when a crowd of black people are around. If I even survived intervening think of how many manginas there are that would kill me just for daring to lay my hands on a woman.
To: Kid Shelleen
Nope. I also wouldn’t get involved in a fight between two feral pitbulls either ?
They could kill and eat each other for all I care.
This is not the America I once knew.... this is Obama’s and the democrats mess, it’s not mine anymore.
I would walk away, and call 911... on my way to buy an ice cream.

"Likely any white person attempting to intervene would have been torn apart by the crowd of negros enjoying the spectacle." Such observations have to be taken into consideration before taking the risk of getting involved in a fight. In fact, the need for an iPhone app that shows 911 response times based on GPS coordinates comes to mind.

Take up for a woman who was too naive to know she needed a weapon?
My daughter carries a knife for just this reason.
Those who will not prepare must suffer their fate as canaries in the coal mine.
To: Kid Shelleen
Yes because she had a child with her.
Years ago I was verbally bashed by a woman cursing at me and calling me whitey and cracker while I walked with my young son (who wasn't much older than that little one.)
Funny part is she was saying that I didn't belong in that neighborhood because I was white.
I grew up there.
Yep she was real brave she was...
The thing is I would also do it for a black woman who had her child with her.
To: Kid Shelleen
From just about everything that I’ve read, 1 buck is hard to beat in those situations.

If the pic of Latitia Harris on the right is correct, then this hijabi was just doing a little jihad on the infidel!
