The Florida woman charged with hate crimes for pepper-spraying a group of Asian women in New York City last month will reportedly be released from Rikers Island after her bail was scrapped.
Madeline Barker, 47, of Florida’s Merritt Island, was arrested nearly a week after the alleged incident at the intersection of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue in Chelsea on June 11.
One of the alleged victims, Nicole, told NextShark that it all started when she and her friends, who were walking around the area, stopped to rest near a woman in pink, who then allegedly accused them of “trying to harass me.”
Nicole said the woman told them “Go back to the country you came from” and “You don’t belong here.”
Videos taken with cell phones during the incident show the woman in question holding what appears to be pepper spray. She seemingly threatens those around her, who in turn try to maintain their distance.
Barker, who has been detained since June 17, admitted to being the woman involved in the incident. She was later indicted on eight counts of assault in the third degree as a hate crime, as well as four counts of aggravated harassment in the second degree, which is a misdemeanor hate crime.
However, she is now expected to be freed after being held on a $20,000 bail. On Wednesday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michele Rodney approved a new bail application proposed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Office and Barker’s defense attorneys, according to the New York Post.

Democrats HATE Asians.
White, odds on liberal/progressive entitled imbecile.
The DA is a black supremacist.
Someone with no rap sheet who does something boneheaded but merely annoying like this? Hard to see why bail is necessary. For once, this DA’s recommendation makes a kind of sense.

The DA, Alvin Bragg ..

Do birds of a feather stick together?

This Mentally Unstable Karen should be held, and made an example of for all to see. What she did is NOT excusable. In many other places, she would have been justifiably shot.
