Hate is hate
If the LGBTQ community ever hopes to win over hate, we have to be willing to speak up against hate wherever we see it Way back on May 19, police in Euless here in North Texas arrested a 42-year-old white woman named Elizabeth Wolf after she allegedly tried to grab a 6-year-old boy and then tried — again, of course, allegedly — to drown the boy’s 3-year-old sister while the children’s mother stopped to attend to the scratch Wolf inflicted on her little boy’s hand.
This all happened after Wolf verbally attacked the mother while she and her two children were just trying to enjoy themselves in the swimming pool at the apartment complex where they lived.
What on earth did this mother and two small children do to warrant these attacks, this attempted murder? They were, as CNN reports, “visibly Muslim,” and the mom was wearing a traditional hijab with her “modest swimwear.” According to what witnesses told police, Wolf was questioning the woman about “where she was from” and if the two children were hers and saying that the mother was not an American, among other racist comments.
When the mother answered, Wolf, the white woman, reached out and tried to grab the little boy, leaving him with a scratch on his finger.
