Lucia Whalen Where Are You?

July 25, 2009



Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. mugshot (Cambridge, MA police)

“There are 1 million black men in the prison system, and on Thursday I became one of them.” ....Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Where is Lucia Whalen hiding? She's the woman who on Thursday, July 16, 2009 around 12:30pm called Cambridge, Massachusetts police to say that, "two large black men with backpacks" were breaking into a house on Ware St. Ware St. is not far from Harvard Square, and anyone living in that vicinity is usually affiliated with Harvard University or very wealthy.

Turns out the person she saw breaking in was esteemed scholar of African American history, Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. trying to get into his own home! Turns out he and his chaffeuer were wearing suits, there were three pieces of luggage on the porch and a Town Car parked outside. Prof. Gates had just returned from a trip to China. Prof. Gates is an older gentleman, small and walks with a cane. As you've heard in the news, Prof. Gates was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after asking Sgt. Jim Crowley to produce ID. The charges were later dropped.

At first I thought the incident happened at night. Turns out it happened in broad daylight. So, from what I can conclude about Ms. Whalen is that she is a BIGOT! Yes, she may have been well intentioned calling in a potential B&E (Breaking & Entering), but her description of the two men was way off. What did she want...the police to shoot the two black men with backpacks? If Prof. Gates was a younger, stronger looking black man he probably would have been shot in his own home! Did she want to be declared a hero for nabbing two black men. Obviously she didn't expect to see black people living in a nice house on Ware St.

Lucia Whalen goes down in history as the woman who showed the world that racism is alive in America today. Lucia Whalen goes down in history as the woman who almost started a race riot, and international incident. She goes down as the woman who led President Obama to be reminded by bigoted white folks that even though he is President he is still an n-word! Thanks to Lucia Whalen, a stellar police sergeant is now labelled, Sgt. Jim Crow, while Prof. gates is labelled Prof. Uppity! Now there's a new saying, "Being home while black!" Yes, it was her actions that started the tsunami of emotion and polarization.

What was Lucia Whalen doing on Ware St. in Cambridge and she lives in Malden, MA? Well, she is the Fundraising and Circulation manager for Harvard magazine which has its offices on the same Ware St....just a few doors down from Prof. Gates home.

Why is she hiding? And what does Harvard magazine have to say about this? They should be ashamed to have someone who does not know Prof. Gates on their staff. The magazine has done many articles on him and his work. He is one of the prides of Harvard University.
I would ask Harvard magazine to make Lucia Whalen watch films like ROOTS, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, & Prof. Gates PBS series on African American history. She needs to be sensitized that black people are human beings too!

Come out from hiding Lucia Whalen and explain your side!

    Some people will never be satisfied until they can find someone to hate. They can’s take the time to read the police report that has been all over the web since last week. They will jump to the conclusion to scream ‘racism’ because the believe no black person can ever do anything wrong.
    The issue is settled. Even the good professor has said to drop the thing and move on. Why in the world should we hate Ms. Whalen? Why should we hate anyone? I could almost see the foam coming from the mouth of the writer who penned this nonsense.

  2. salome on July 27th, 2009 4:11 am

    you’re immature or moronic enough to even imagine that if whitey mouths off to any type of law enForcement officer there’s going to be a dr.pHil moment ?
    and the witness should now be blamed for calling in what she observed ?
    prOfessuH,white or BLACK is not above the law.
    same as civilians.
     

  3. Joe on July 27th, 2009 10:21 am

    Just for the record, and contrary to your erroneous allegations above, the Boston police have confirmed that Ms. Whalen did *NOT* mention the race of the men she witnessed in her 911 call.

  4. Longinus on July 27th, 2009 9:54 pm

    Just goes to show that racism is a double bladed sword,bound to cut both ways and race baiting articles like this just furthers it.Blind to read the police reports but still managing to target a woman just being a good samaritan,pure racism .Notice how we show her place of employment,her address(round about),nasty,nasty just nasty!NO articles like this is what will start race riots,Racist Pig

  5. JC on July 27th, 2009 10:20 pm

    Lol yeah, you’re an idiot and should wait till you know the facts. Ms Whalen didn’t say anything about the possible suspects being black.

    “I would ask Harvard magazine to make Lucia Whalen watch films like ROOTS, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, & Prof. Gates PBS series on African American history.”

    I would ask you to chill out and stop jumping to conclusions.

  6. leif on July 27th, 2009 10:43 pm

    You are a piece of shit, get your information straight before you put out this crap.

  7. Deborah on July 27th, 2009 11:02 pm

    And do you recognize the foolishness in the article and these comments now?

    http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/07/27/gates_caller_didnt_cite_race_police_say/?page=full

    “In the 911 recording released Monday, caller Lucia Whalen tells police she saw two men pressing on the door of a home, but says she is unsure whether the men live there or if they were trying to break in. She said she saw two suitcases on the porch.

    “I don’t know if they live there and they just had a hard time with their key. But I did notice they used their shoulder to try to barge in and they got in. I don’t know if they had a key or not cause I couldn’t see from my angle,” Whalen said.

    Whalen does not mention the race of the men she saw until pressed by a dispatcher to describe them. At that point, she said one of the men may have been Hispanic.”

    It would be wise to withhold judgment until all facts are known and it is quite prejudiced to have made these statements about a woman one has never met and doesn’t have any idea as to her race (of Portuguese descent) or her racial feelings.

    Everyone has racial feelings and clearly, they are demonstrated in the writers on these forums.

  8. David on July 27th, 2009 11:16 pm

    Once again, this proves that black people way more racist than whites. Once again, the lady did not say wether they were black or white. Get the frickin facts straight people. I am just surprised that the ahole from the bronx aka Al Sharpton did not make it to the cambridge, MA yet. That’s surprising. These must be the people who still think the duke lacrosse players were guilty.

  9. David on July 27th, 2009 11:25 pm

    By the way, whoever wrote this article is pretty racist too. Talk about judging people without KNOWING THE FACTS. If you want to become an accomplished writer, make sure to get the facts before opening your mouth. I voted for Mr. Obama. However, I really think he should keep his mouth shut about this. Learn the facts first Mr. President. Then yap away. Just because you know this man, it doesn’t mean he’s right. Remember rev. Wright? I smart man like I believe you are…all kidding aside..must get the facts first, than act.  Remember, not knowing the facts is what got Mr. Bush in trouble in the first place.

  10. Edward on July 27th, 2009 11:32 pm

    The Crime if Victim!

    If Race is not an issue, perhaps Abuse of Authority is!
    Let’s drop the hypocrisy and consider this: If the Gates did something wrong, he should be arrested. However, being arrested because he trying to get into his own house?
    If Gates did commit a crime: What is it? And why the charges were dropped?
    And by the way the NYT today reported some new facts on Ms Whalen and officer Crowley. You should check before commenting !
    The strategy of bigots is well known : blame the victim

  11. Andy on July 28th, 2009 12:09 am

    Every day new information emerges about this episode which invalidates what people were saying about it yesterday. With the release by Cambridge Police of her 911 call, It looks as if her vilifiers owe Lucia Whalen a very big apology. They especially do if their remarks contributed to her being harassed at all. Whalen was calling on behalf of an elderly neighbor who had just moved in. On the call she does not mention race until asked and then says that one of the men might be hispanic and that she did not see the othe one. She says that it is quite possible they are just having trouble getting in to the house and very well might live there.

    So she ends up sounding like a decent person helping to ease the concerns of an elderly woman. Lets leave her alone okay.

  12. Kirk on July 28th, 2009 1:32 am

    Jeez. If a neighbor of mine saw me looking like a burglar, breaking into my own house, I HOPE she would call 911.

    And when the police arrived, I would understand that they would assume I WAS a burglar. I would speak respectfully to them, obey their lawful orders, show them my ID, and explain calmly how I came to be in such a predicament.

    And when the matter was cleared up, I would THANK THEM for their quick response.

    But let’s keep this in perspective. It’s still a pretty minor incident that got blown out of all proportion, and it’s way past time for all the talking heads to put a lid on it.

  13. Kelly on July 28th, 2009 1:47 am

    Ms. Whalen never mentioned in her call to the police that the men were black. Crowley was the one who wrote in his police report that Ms. Whalen said the men were black. It may be safely said that Crowley made an error in writing that it was Whalen who told him the men were black. It is my opinion that Crowley was sloppy in his police reporting.

  14. Fuck David adams and salome on July 28th, 2009 3:02 am

    Let’s take race out of the equation for a moment. Lucia whalen is still wrong.

    Lucia whalen should not be a stranger to Prof Gates’ residence on Ware street. SHE FUCKING WORKS A FEW DOORS DOWN!!! How could she describe the diminutive, frail Prof Gates, who walks with a cane, as one of “two larger men”? Because. as she said on the call, she didn’t get a good look at either man. She calls 911 without even bothering to do a compulsory look? That’s reckless and stupid. Had she given one of the “two larger men” a closer look she probably, ok, hopefully, would have recognized one of Harvard’s most prominent scholars. Crisis adverted.

    Lucia whalen knows she did something wrong. People want to speak with her to get her mindset at the time of the call. Instead she has gone into hiding and is lawyering up. She deserves some blame for this shit blowing up. What kind of community do we live in? We should know our neighbors instead of peeking through the blinds with suspicion and living in fear.

  15. MD on July 28th, 2009 3:27 am

    Have you even read the transcript? She did nothing wrong. You are a complete moron for posting her information like this. Maybe Gates shouldn’t have acted like an idiot. I feel bad for whoever has to listen to this clown at Harvard.

  16. Anonymous on July 28th, 2009 5:18 am

    I hope you’ve listened to the 911 tapes and feel shitty about what you’ve said re: Ms. Whalen. Not knowing facts and making accusations about people screws up their lives. I hope you’re ashamed. If you aren’t then you have no conscience and go to hell.

  17. CB on July 28th, 2009 7:48 pm

    Um–gee–I work at a small university that borders on a residential district. And I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA who lives next to our building (where I work on the third floor) or across the street. To the poster who chastises Lucia Whalen for not knowing her neighbors–This is a pretty poor example to use in making that point. Of course she’s lawyering up. With knee-jerk posters like this–who obviously don’t let the facts get in the way of their thinking–out there, she’d be stupid not to.

  18. Anonymus on July 29th, 2009 7:48 am

    Do you live in a city? Not everyone knows their neighbors in a city atmosphere, especially if you don’t see them around. Also, Ms. Whalen works down the street…she’s not his “neighbor.” So were you there at the time and you can tell Ms. Whalen what she indeed saw? Were you crouched somewhere in a bush or something recording this whole incident. YEAH, I DIDN’T THINK SO. Do you work at Harvard? Do you realize Harvard has 16,000 employees? Do you realize how spread out departments at Harvard are and some friends of mine who have worked at Harvard have never seen Professor Gates or wouldn’t know what he looks like because they are in no way remotely involved in any department near him? Nope, bet you didn’t know that either. Ms. Whalen is NOT to blame, but A-HOLES LIKE YOU ARE! Instead of making shit up and accusing people of things they didn’t do wrong, why don’t you take out a book and learn something. You’re obviously a fucking idiot!

  19. A. Barrett on July 29th, 2009 9:14 am

    Lucia Whalen behaved admirably.

    She never mentioned race, even after the 911 operator prompted her to identify the person’s race. The second time he asked about race, she said maybe Hispanic, but made it clear she wasn’t sure and also made it VERY clear that she couldn’t identify the second person who was already in the house.

    She also went out of her way to be objective and to make it clear to the 911 operator that the people entering the house maybe lived there.

    The only person who identified the people forcing entry to the house as “black” was Sergeant Crowley, in his police report.

    No one else, not Whalen, nor the 911 operator, nor the dispatcher said ANYTHING about a black man. The only place it’s mentioned is in the report.

  20. LCox on July 29th, 2009 8:35 pm

    Now that the truth is out from the 911 tapes, have you had a chance to remove your foot from your mouth ?
    Your remarks of Ms Lucia Whalen calling her a Racist & “BIGOT ” & the president of all people should know that you don’t speak about something untill all the evidence is in.
    All I have to say is Thank God that Michael Jacksons physician DR. CONRAD MURRAY was not a white man because he would probally be facing the death penelty after the race riot cleared.
    I have lived my entire life in the deep south I have lived with racism my entire life, Guess what the racist street runs both ways it is no longer a Black White issue.

  21. Mae on July 29th, 2009 8:35 pm

    Shame on you, you owe Lucia Whalen an apology and so does the President.

  22. G. Kiser on July 29th, 2009 8:56 pm

    These type of blogs are one of the reasons that racism exists. Neighors should keep an eye out to protect their neighborhoods. And the bad language on the previous posts is shameful. Rule of thumb: When a police officer says stop, you syop. When a police officer requires that you identify yourself, identify yourself. We are a nation of laws (read Constitution), and those laws allow us to post things like this blog.

  23. Bob on July 29th, 2009 9:17 pm

    Give me a break, so what if she did say 2 black men with backpacks ? How is that a racist comment ? No matter what if it involves a white person someone is going to cry wolf and play the race card. If they asked for a description what are you supposed to say ? If she said 2 white guys with backpacks is she still a racist ? Back to the point she didn’t say it at all. The only reason gates was arrested was because of his own racism. He was warned twice to calm down and act resonable which he did not. Failed to produce ID. He walked outside to a small crowd shouting “this is what happens to a black man in america” which should be cause for arresting him for inciting a riot. that is when he was arrested. It’s funny how obama will apologize to everyone in the world but when it comes to a white officer he refuses, that wouldn’t be because of him being a racist would it ? It’s gonna be funny when whitey gets tired of being accused of being a racist for everything they do and starts ignoring everyone. Then who you gonn cry to ?

  24. monstersdoexist on July 29th, 2009 10:38 pm

    Who is the dumba** behind the above written blog? Come out and show YOUR mentally incompetent face to the world so we can laugh and point out fingers at you in disgust.. You are obviously a racist hater no matter what your color is, so come out from hiding and display yourself. All you had to do was wait a few days before posting this ridiculously stupid blog and hear the 911 tapes to disprove your quick-to-judge opinion. If anything, hold the 911 dispatcher liable. He was the one who first brought up the color question. You and all the rest of your tree hugging. ultraliberal, looking for a government handout ilk need to get a life and just get over it. If the nutty professor had spoken in calm tones and not verbally gone off on the officers with all that ghetto language, he probably may have even gotten assistance gaining entry into his locked home. God help him if a burglar does break into his house as it will more than likely be the last place a cop will want to roll up to assist him in his hour of need.

  25. P. Alicea on July 29th, 2009 10:43 pm

    You mentioned in your blog that “Lucia Whalen goes down in history as the woman who showed the world that racism is alive in America today” Actually, I think that you should be the one to go down in history as showing that racism is alive and well. In addition, because you have not edited nor provided a retraction in your blog, I believe that you should also be held liable for your words as slanderous.

  26. Joe The Plumber on July 29th, 2009 10:54 pm

    Show us your birth certificate, Lucia Whalen!  I have one! Do you? Let’s see it!  I’ll bet you’re not even a natural born citizen of the United States! Let’s see the birth certificate…oh, wait. Am I in the wrong blog?

  27. Alice Coachman on July 30th, 2009 12:23 am

    Why don’t you come out from hiding?

  28. Steve on July 30th, 2009 12:31 am

    I just now watched Lucia Whalen speak to the public on a CNN video. The CNN story said Whalen is being called a racist on Internet blogs, so I did a quick google search and lo and behold people are actually calling her a racist.

    CNN: Although Whalen never referred to black suspects when she called authorities about the suspected break-in, the incident prompted a heated discussion across the nation on race relations in the United States.

    Police released tapes Monday of her 911 call. Listen to the entire 911 call »

    On Wednesday, Whalen — her voice shaky and sometimes breaking — called the criticism of her actions “painful” and “difficult.”

    “People called me racist and said I caused all the turmoil that followed, and some even said threatening things that made me fear for my safety,” she told reporters.

    “I knew the truth but I didn’t speak up right away, because I did not want to add to the controversy.”

    Want to know why Black people get profiled and blamed for a lot of the crime that happens ? Turn on your TV Buttnugget !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worse yet….. Pick up a newspaper……

  31. Joey J on July 30th, 2009 2:23 am

    Yes sir, I can’t believe the black community or at least this blog writer figured it all out. This is a bigger conspiracy than 911. Lucia Whalen had a meeting with officer Crowley earlier in the day and since they knew when gates would be returning they jammed his door, and Lucia waited around the corner while looking for other black people to profile. Then when he finally arrived she called 911 pretending to be fearful for her life and since officer crowley was involved he was only 2 blocks away, why do you think he got there so fast. He arrived by himself at first so he could jab gates in the ribs and take a few pot shots at him so he would be aggitated when other officers arrived to prove he was doing the right thing. Then after crowley walked out of the house another officer shoved gates out onto the front porch and onto Crowley so they could say he was being attacked. gates said”this is what happens to a black man in america” because he was right, but the onlookers didn’t know what was going on before they started watching. The cops later dropped the charges because they had already found a couple thousand and some hi end electronics they looted after throwing him in the back of the cruiser.

    A perfect masterpiece of a crime once again brough to you by the white man. It was all to disgrace a professor. They sat around for months thinking of ways to do it. After all that is all white people do all day long is think of ways to be racist against blacks and this proves it.

    CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS TYPO IN YOU’RE POLICE REPORT?

    IS THIS THE CAUSE OF THE RACE CARD BEING PLAYED?

    Where’s your apology? Why are you hiding?

  35. Jason Jones on July 30th, 2009 9:20 pm

    What a bunch of crybabies, if describing two people as black as being racist is what proves your point then you are a whiner pure and simple. I never want to hear anyone describe a person as being white or they will be racist also. Let alone any other terms that are used. Next time police need a description they should only know it was two burgulars and end it at that. Then police can stop everyone they see when trying to find the guilty.

    Check this out straight from Jesse Jackson on the Jenna 6

    “six students, who they said were treated more harshly than their white counterparts”

    Better write more on your blog about Jesse is a racist and needs to apologize. It’s evident he is being racist by calling the others involved as white, it’s an outrage, immoral, we demand a public apology, plus he needs to give the people he descibed as white thousands of dollars for their hurt and pain.

  36. Jason Jones on July 30th, 2009 9:26 pm

    Even more racist comments from Jesse,

    Jackson says Obama “acting like he’s white”

    acting as white, is he stereotyping white people ? What is his motive here ? It’s all racial, all the white people are owed an apology. There needs to be public outcry this has gone to far, he has gotten away with too much. Time to blog about his racist comments and how he has set back relations 20 years.

    You are a liar. But I suspect you know that already.

  38. jan on July 31st, 2009 12:26 am

    YOU are an IGNORANT person! how dare you write false information about a woman who was only trying to help out a citizen. you should be ashamed of yourself and why did you change your article, you deleted the part where you bashed her and called her a biggot, i think we know who the biggot is now! if you believe lucia is the cause of this rediculous mess, and embarrasment to our nation, you are the biggest idiot! she did not tell obama to say those words, nor the prof, no the officer. so get your facts straight man, you make me sick, people like you exist and make this world a crazy place to live in. SHAME ON YOU AND ALL WHO BELIEVE YOUR STUPID AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS! I hope you got to see Lucia in tears at her press conference, you jack ass! YOU NEGATIVE PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!

  39. jan on July 31st, 2009 12:58 am

    AND YOU ARE A PIECE OF CRAP! YOU DON’T HAVE THE DIGNITY AND CLASS TO APOLOGIZE TO LUCIA.

  40. Anthony Braddox on July 31st, 2009 4:12 am

    This was, by far, one of the most irresponsible, misleading, uninformed blog posts I have ever read. It bleeds with irony and ignorance. The author does nothing short of project their own bigotry onto Lucia Whalen.

    The author states:
    “She’s the woman who on Thursday, July 16, 2009 around 12:30pm called Cambridge, Massachusetts police to say that, ‘two large black men with backpacks’ were breaking into a house on Ware St. Ware St.”
    “Lucia Whalen goes down in history as the woman who showed the world that racism is alive in America today.”
    If you want to throw such harsh accusations and criticism at someone, you better damn well verify that what you are saying is factual and not a regurgitation of hearsay. Lucia Whalen NEVER said the people she saw were black. She never even brought up race until the dispatcher asked what race the two men were, then she merely said that one of them looked “kind of hispanic” and that she didn’t see the other one. She acted completely responsible and did the right thing.

    “Lucia Whalen goes down in history as the woman who almost started a race riot, and international incident.”
    This is just borderline idiotic and is absolutely foolish. This line, more than any, proves that the author is a complete imbecile. The “race riot” and near “international incident” should be attributed to Barack Obama and his irresponsible comments about the Cambridge Police. Or how about Mr. Gates? After all, had he not been so quick to play the race card and had he just slightly cooperated when asked to show his I.D., he never would have been arrested nor would we have been subjected to the endless coverage of this story.

    The icing on the cake is this gem:
    “She goes down as the woman who led President Obama to be reminded by bigoted white folks that even though he is President he is still an n-word!”
    Ah, yes. An anti-racism blog post laced with racism. This is a person who is obviously unfamiliar with the racist anti-white sentiments of Barack Obama, or a person who chooses to selectively acknowledge racism. Barack Obama with his “typical white person” remark while talking about his racist grandmother and outlining his “tactics” for appeasing whites is a perfect example of why there is a divide between races. America has decided that racism only applies when a “honky” is the aggressor. At this rate we’ll never achieve harmony nor equality between races. Ignorant people with keyboards continue to remind me that there is a definite double standard that is openly accepted.

  41. where's your apology on July 31st, 2009 10:06 pm

    You are the one who is hiding now, you owe Lucia Whalen an apology, calling her a biggot and not knowing facts. The president harmed his own integrity not Lucia’s actions on being a good citizen. What if it were a black woman that called 911? Would you have written negative and false accusations about her? NOT! I hope you can sleep at night knowing you wrote some pretty hateful things about someone who was just trying to do the civil thing in helping the.  I know Lucia personally, and all you wrote about her is disgusting, you should be ashamed to even call yourself a writer? I printed all your articles you wrote since you accused many wrongful accusations while she was hiding as you say.   How does it feel to say lies about a person you know nothing about? Lucia is the only one from this whole stupid highschool crap that had class.  Who’s the real victim here? I’m sure you won’t write an apology, the president is instilling us not to apologize when you are at fault. All people say things they don’t mean, the question is, are they decent enough to actually come out and simply say SORRY!

    We need more people like Lucia Whalen in this world! The real deal!

    when someone jumps to a conclusion and make statements online without the facts, they are showing that they are prejudice. we are americans, not white or black or any other race. The sooner people feel that way, there will not be so much prejudice. Stop blaming other people for what you do or where you are at. you control your own direction in life No one owes anyone, we all should work for what we have. I have known people with little education that are very successfull.
    they did not say they cant do something just because they are not educated, they just have to work harder

    A suggestion to the readers, Google.com and the authorities. This person obviously knows that racism is a highly charged emotional topic that will create a lot of buzz which works in their favor, regardless of their motives.

    One of two motives are at play here. Either this person is probably laughing all the way to the bank and profiting from all the hits to this site. Google pays by impression for the ads on this page.

    Or this person is firmly entrenched in thier beliefs that they are willing to commit acts that can and did harm other people and which did incite fear and unrest. Don;t we call these people radical extremists.

    Note: If this wasn’t so:
    1. they would have reported the facts more objectively to begin with.
    2. they would have come forward and apologized as the true facts have come out.
    3. they would not been hypocritical in ther first place by labeling a person(s) while claiming themself to not like a group of people being labeled. People of reason understand the hypocracy.

    Therefore, I suggest the following:
    1. That the Google corporation evaluate any payments to this account on the grounds of creating web traffic for profit by misreprentation and fraud. Hopefully there is something in Googles Adsense terms of use agreement to support this.

    2 I suggest that Homeland security investige this blogger to determine their true motive and to avoid future incidents like this happening. Especially now that this site has a certain notiariety which has caused more people to follow it. Including those who may share views and willing to take the same kinds of action.

    Of course, they will try to hide under the first amendment to say they have a right to say these things. Well, we don’t have the right to yell “fire” in a movie theater and these words are the same as striking a match to ignite emotions that can and did harm people.

    3, I hope the majority of the people support our good Samaritans, publice officers who protect use (regardless of race or creed) and support any legal action against this person or persons.

    4. I hope the press who have help fuel the fire by publishing this persons blog, thus helping thier cause, will write an editorial or article to encourage people to stop visiting this site and to look for the truth in the right places. And to publish these suggestions to see if that will spark action by the parties suggested to move them in the right direction.

    We can rant and rave about how we dislike what this blogger did but only action will prevent it from happening in the futre. I have forwarded this letter to my local government representatives, the DOHS and the media as I’m not sure this comment will be here long before this blogger censors it. Which will further prove my assertations. I have indicated in my letter that if they go to this blog and not see this comment, then that is further evidence to support my suggested actions.

    Thanks

    Maybe you should have wait to listen to the 911 call before you wrote this blog. Then again, it is a blog and full of BS. Like everyone else that had something to say about this incident without having all of the facts, you are only spreading more BS. Chalk up a few points to your credibility.

  50. J.T. on August 3rd, 2009 5:09 pm

    So are you planning to update this bigoted rant of yours now that the FACTS are now known of the 911 call Ms. Whalen made to the police? Besides she never said there was anyone breaking in but that two people were having problems with the door and never mentions ethnicity at all. Those who continue to vilify Ms. Whalen are race-baiters and are looking to create a stir regardless of the facts.
