Before I can form an opinion on this I'm going to need to know racial backgrounds and political affiliations of the affected parties. Have red team and blue team picked sides yet?
No - she didn't kill anyone. She whacked a guy with her cane. He doesn't have any broken bones. But the victim does say that he was "very offended".
Apparently, she said the bad "F" word when she hit him with the cane. Not "fairy", or "friut", but the REALLY bad "F" word. That's definitely worse than, say, molesting a child, or killing someone.
We are so screwed.
A 71-year-old Richland Hills grandmother was charged with a hate crime after she attacked a gay neighbor with her cane while yelling offensive slurs, police said.
Wanda Derby bonded out of jail Thursday afternoon.
The victim, Lloyd Guerrero, 25, said the attack followed days of growing tension. Derby's son moved in with Guerrero and his family about a week ago, he said.
Guerrero said the attack Wednesday night was unprovoked.
"Honestly, it looked like something out of a TV show. She just, like, whack," Guerrero said, motioning with his hand. "And I will say, she hit pretty hard."
Guerrero, an actor, said Derby also slapped his mother and assaulted several others.
"We finally got the cane and got it away from her and threw it on the ground," he said. "And then that's when I ran around and got inside the house. And then we started trying to shut the door. And she was like, full force, coming. I honestly don't know what she was thinking or what she even had in her."

My guess is that blue team takes the got...
More manufactured outrage. She's not going to get a life sentence.
When you are 71 a 10 year sentence can be life.
and FWIW in the article the got said she deserved life.
Police say the cane she used is considered a deadly weapon. The charge was enhanced as a hate crime.
According to Texas law, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon carries a maximum 20-year prison term. However, as a hate crime, the possible sentence increases to life behind bars.
"She deserves every bit of it," Guerrero said.
wow, cc gettin his hate on.
no hate here...
got
So just to check the scorecard, Guerrero is:
1) a got
2) an actor, so probably unemployed and on welfare
3) a minority*
* pending confirmation that Guerrero is a real hispanic and not a white hispanic, which we all now means you're white
This should be sufficient evidence for Red Team to conclude that Derby was acting in self-defense, although things might get complicated later if we find out that Derby is black and/or on food stamps.
Man, why is CC laughing at his own phobia?
And while we are on the subject I find the whole concept of "hate crimes" offensive.
A murder should be treated like a murder no matter what the motive. Same with a minor assault like this one.
What do you call it, then?
If the got had been in Florida he could have shot her.
chump trolling
Wow, CC. It's like you learned a new word.
She won't get 10 years either. I'd be surprised if she got jail time at all.
Fortunately, he doesn't get to decide.and FWIW in the article the got said she deserved life.
No, you didn't repeat that initially for my benefit.
Still laughing at this, btw. Like anyone, anywhere, thinks this is worse than child molestation or murder, and like it would ever be sentenced comparably. Your blogs have you talking like a crazy person, GSH.

I see the blue team has taken the field...
Yes, they are all saying she deserves and will receive a much lighter sentence than life.

Do you believe any different?
There's really no political element to this. There's mock outrage and there's reality.
The victim sounds like a whiny and the old lady is a phobe. The only way this is newsworthy is if people are stupid enough to think grandma is getting a charge comparable to child molestation.
what do you mean? i haven't commented about the op.
I see the blue team has taken the field...
"She deserves every bit of it," Guerrero said.
He calmed down after a couple Fuzzy Navels with Chump at happy hour.
No one here agrees with Guerrero.
You'll have to find some other way to manufacture outrage.
