“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday as I was walking into Chipotle at the corner of Calvert and Connecticut with 7yo my son, a (young, white) woman started shouting
“what are you looking at you brown n*****?!” at us for no apparent reason other than I looked at her as she was getting in her car. She called me a n***** several times in broad daylight and in front of several other pedestrians – totally unhinged. Disclosure: I am a man of color, but not black.
I did not engage/respond, and just walked inside chipotle w my son. Thankfully she got back in her car and left (driving off like a maniac).
I think she is homeless/mentally ill bc She had a dog in her car and a lot of clutter. She also looked disheveled and had raggedy/dirty clothes (I saw her darting out of Open City before she got in her car.)
I am wondering if others have had encounters with this woman and whether others can recommend what authority to call in that kind situation other than the cops.
A concerned parent.”
