The people who did this admitted to it, and at the end it says this mom wants these people arrested. They weren't arrested??? Let's do a thought experiment: imagine a group of black people chased down a truck with a white mom and teenage son in it and did this. Would they have been arrested? This is crazy.

Shim and her 17-year-old son were on their way to Latham Farms last Thursday afternoon to fill out job applications for the soon-to-be high school graduate when all of a sudden, she says, a green truck with lights on top of it rammed her car into the shoulder.
"All he kept saying was, 'Mommy, they're going to kill us, they're going to kill us,' and I'm just sitting there like, 'Just go,' and I'm ducking down in the seat," Shim explained.
She says the truck cut them off at the exit ramp to Latham.
Then at least three men and two women -- one older and one younger -- got out and began destroying her mirrors, hitting the car with bats and smashing in a window, she later learned from witnesses, with a frying pan. This all while shouting obscenities and racial slurs.

(22,336 posts)when people of color are accused of a crime, they are immediately arrested and jailed during investigations, but when white people are accused, there are lengthy investigations and they're free during them.

A week later enough witnesses, they admitted it and they are still not arrested.
