Witnesses to a beating at a Morrow Cracker Barrel are talking to CBS Atlanta about what they call a “shocking hate crime.”WGCL/CBS Atlanta, broadcast Sept. 15, 2009.Ginger Ellis loves her three grandchildren. She was especially taken by the 7-year-old girl in the tutu, skipping into the Cracker Barrel in Mororw with her mother last Wednesday.
“I smiled at her and said hey baby,” said Ellis.
But just seconds later Ellis watched as 7-year-old Shiyenn Hill’s mother Tawshawnea Hill was beaten by 6'2" 250 lb. Troy Dale West. Police said the beating happened right in front of Shiyenn.
..
One Cracker Barrel employee, who asked not to be identified said when Hill politely told West to be careful, he went on a racial tirade.
The employee said Hill told West, “Please don’t do this, I’m in the military,” to which West responded “I don’t give a f***you black n***** b****and then started punching her." The employee said "I saw the foot motion of him kicking her. As he was punching her, he called her a black n***** b**** twice."
Ginger Ellis says she is convinced the attack was racially motivated “because he used the N word and the way he kept kicking her and he kept hitting her. You could see the evilness on his face.”

Infamous hate-spewing Beverly Hills 'Karen' arrested after videos show her at pro-Trump Capitol riot
January 19, 2021
A salon owner who went viral for spewing homophobic slurs and other hateful rhetoric during an anti-lockdown protest back in December has been arrested for participating in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, CBS Los Angeles reports.
Gina Bisignano, 52, was arrested by the FBI at her home in Beverly Hills, California, this Tuesday. Last week, Bisignano told the Beverly Hills Courier that she traveled to Washington, D.C., where she joined the mob that stormed the Capitol building.

‘Gilmore Girls’ star David Sutcliffe wasn’t at Capitol siege but praises ‘patriot’ who was
January 19, 2021
Canadian actor David Sutcliffe shot down rumors that he was part of the attempted siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6, but the “Gilmore Girls” alum seemingly praised those who broke into the building in an attempt to stop the election certification. “There are rumors circulating that I ‘stormed the capital (sic),’” Sutcliffe, 51, tweeted Saturday along with a video of a man inside the rotunda. “Not true - though I would have been proud to share a smoke with this great Patriot!” Early Tuesday morning, he responded “correct” to a follower who suggested he was kidding. A spokesperson for Sutcliffe did...
Fox's Maria Bartiromo blasted for claiming Democrats 'infiltrated' Capitol wearing MAGA clothing
January 19, 2021
Fox Business news anchor Maria Bartiromo was in for a rude awakening when she attempted to blame the U.S. Capitol riots on Democrats who "infiltrated" the federal building wearing Make America Great Again (MAGA) clothing.
As she discussed the reports about possible threats of right-wing violence looming over the upcoming presidential inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, she falsely that Democrats participated in the Capitol riots, according to Media Matters.
<p>During the broadcast, Bartiromo said, "A new report says that some far-right protesters have discussed posing as members of the National Guard to infiltrate the inauguration — the way Democrats infiltrated two weeks ago and put on MAGA clothing."</p><iframe src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351535791890169857&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F2021%2F01%2Fmaria-bartiromo%2F&partner=rebelmouse&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px" style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 571px; flex-grow: 1;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><p>Twitter users quickly fired back at Bartiromo for the baseless claim. One Twitter user also noted how right-wing media reports would differ if there was an arrest of someone who was confirmed to be a Democrat posing as a Trump supporter and stormed the Capitol. The user said, "One would think that if a single left-winger antifa whatever was caught, they would have been arrested and paraded around of Fox News and OANN. The projection has become a parody."</p><p>Many have also argued that Bartiromo's fierce support of Trump and reporting of dangerous misinformation and falsehoods now overshadows her reputation as a business reporter.</p><iframe src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351537914669268993&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F2021%2F01%2Fmaria-bartiromo%2F&partner=rebelmouse&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px" style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 675px; flex-grow: 1;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><iframe src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-2&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351536363489947654&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F2021%2F01%2Fmaria-bartiromo%2F&partner=rebelmouse&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px" style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 577px; flex-grow: 1;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><iframe src="https://f073c9221ce9cb3e09e617aa6e61ffff.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html" style="vertical-align: bottom; max-width: 100%; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial;" title="3rd party ad content"></iframe><iframe style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%;"></iframe><iframe src="https://f073c9221ce9cb3e09e617aa6e61ffff.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html" style="vertical-align: bottom; max-width: 100%; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial;" title="3rd party ad content"></iframe><iframe src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-3&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351552980034723840&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F2021%2F01%2Fmaria-bartiromo%2F&partner=rebelmouse&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px" style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 299px; flex-grow: 1;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><iframe src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-4&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351551030438338563&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F2021%2F01%2Fmaria-bartiromo%2F&partner=rebelmouse&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px" style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 601px; flex-grow: 1;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><iframe src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-5&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1351547387886637057&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternet.org%2F2021%2F01%2Fmaria-bartiromo%2F&partner=rebelmouse&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px" style="vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 670px; flex-grow: 1;" title="Twitter Tweet"></iframe><iframe style="vertical-align: bottom; max-width: 100%; overflow: hidden; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; width: 336px; height: 280px; box-sizing: border-box !important;"></iframe>Bartiromo's wild remarks come amid the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) continues to make arrests in connection with the Capitol riots. As of Tuesday, Jan. 19, more than 100 people have been arrested for storming the Capitol. The vast majority of those arrested have also been reported to have ties to far-right extremist groups and self-styled militia groups.
