Noise everywhere about a school bullying incident and not a peep about this. Where's that vaunted conservative value "Support The Troops" in this? Via Steven D.
Tashawnea Hill said she was punched and kicked so hard a week ago that her head still hurts.
"I have knots on my head," Hill, 35, told CNN Wednesday.
Troy Dale West Jr., was arrested for kicking Hill and yelling racial slurs at her in front of a Morrow Cracker Barrel. West is out of jail, having posted a $12,150 bond.
Police charged him with beating Hill, an army reservist, in front of her 7-year-old daughter.
Police said witnesses, as well as a surveillance video, have confirmed her account, which the FBI is investigating as a possible hate crime.
West is white. The woman is black.
A police report said West admitted striking Hill "after she spit on me and accused me of trying to hit her daughter with a door." Hill's attorney Kip Jones told CNN that did not happen.
Jones also told CNN he was "convinced this was a hateful, racist attack ... based on the N-word, the B-word, etc."
