BREAKING: James Rhodes of Stow, OH was just arrested & charged with aggravated menacing & ethnic intimidation (felony) after verbally attacking a black woman, who was delivering food with her 2yo child, b/c she’s black & saying he’d kill her.
She recorded him.
WARNING: it’s awful
Police tell me that Rhodes tried to justify his statements. He told police he left his anger get the best of him. He stated to police that he doesn’t own any weapons.
It started in the parking lot of the apartment complex where Rhodes lives.
The victim was delivering a door dash order when she drove around Rhode’s vehicle. That when Rhodes got out and went off. There are two additional videos of Rhodes verbally assaulting the victim as other neighbors came to the victims defense.
The apartment complex where Rhodes lives is going through the process of evicting him because of what he did.
Statement from the mayor of Stow, Ohio
The CBS affiliate in Cleveland Ohio spoke to the woman and as soon as I get her interview I will turn it around and post it here. I am so struck by how gracious she was to that man in the face of his racist vomit.
CBS affiliate @WAFB has video showing a Port Allen, LA cop tase an elderly man, twice, who’s in the back of a cop car & HANDCUFFED. The man yells b/c he can’t get his leg in
b/c of a bad back. The cop is on unpaid leave. We’ll see if he’s fired & charged. wafb.com/2021/04/21/gra…
The police arrive at the man’s house and an officer immediately goes up to him and yells come out of here or I’m gonna light you up. The man tells the police he has a bad back but he gets up and complies. He’s actually being polite. They bring him to the police car.
They tell him to get in. He asked them to adjust the seat so he can get his legs in because of his bad back. They tell him they can’t. They try to help him get his legs in. He can’t. He’s clearly in pain.
