My Granddaughter goes to college in St Augustine, Florida

Her heritage is Guatemalan. She was just walking and some guys were shouting to her that she should get out of this country. So it is starting, the Trump hatred toward anyone not pure white. If I were with her I would have whacked them with my pocketbook and said a few very choice words. I have purchased the Siren Song for her that makes a loud noise when pressed. I think if she is harassed again the noise would startled them and perhaps people will start to come to her aid. I am not Hispanic so I would like some information on how she should deal with this type of harassment.

Was she alone? Notice if they as a group, pick on a woman, not pick on a group of males what cowards they really are. I would not encourage her to whack anyone with her purse.

while asking why are you harassing me, I did nothing to you. Repeatedly, stay on message, very loud and per the other suggestion, pepper spray if they attack her.
