  1. Whoever reported this little girl as being suspicious, is a wacko!

  2. thanks to the heroes of this story for saving that bright young girl from a vicious "Karen".

  3. Thank that racist that called the cops! FOH

  4. Seriously. This kid wasn't out their alone. That wasn't her neighborhood. Was mom or her "bothers" scoping out cars ect.. and wth are you doing spreading an unknown substance and chemical around my house without my knowledge or consent. And that Yale woman is just using the university for personal projects. She should be fired.

  5. Stay out of my neighborhood. You are driving my housing prices down.
    If an HOA can say you can't put up a Trump sign then a home owner has the right to tell people that don't belong to… MOVE ALONG.

  6. Its unique because they would only do this for a black girl… and it was decided on by a black woman. Racism at its finest

  7. Karen's need to mind their own business

  8. I was working on my car once and an old white women called the cops saying I was trying to steal my own car. 😂

  9. People don’t appreciate when people see everything as negative anymore. Especially when it revolves around children. This has to be a message from the highly educated that you can’t live your life in the darkness.

  10. Such a smart and kind girl. People that go after children in the world like this are sad and pathetic. Maybe go make a difference in your life too and you wouldn't feel the need to dismantle a bright child's life.

  11. White AmeriKKKa strikes again, but lucky for the little girl she had backers or otherwise things could have gone south for her.

  12. How sweet. You rock baby girl. Rock on! I studied pharmacology I love science too ❤🎉

  13. Yea I see a child, and immediately think yeah there’s an avengers level threat in my neighborhood

  14. What about all the nine year olds who get shot in the inner cities across America? Anything for them?

  15. Now, the neighbor who CLAIMS to have mistook a 9 year-old girl who looks 7 for a "suspicious" person needs to be charged with abuse of emergency services and have his or her mugshot plastered all over the news. Our children can't even be regular children without fighting the racist presumption of criminality.

  16. I wonder how republicans woild spin this

  17. nobodys doing anything about these damn things and when my girl Bobbi steps up to the plate they try to arrest her? smh

  18. What a karen fck that karen

  19. Oh once again you don't get the all details. Not a suspicious person, but a black Woman spraying something. Get the facts right or get out of the d*** business.
