SHRED posted the video of this earlier. This is an update.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the event happened on August 25.
Chris Hampshire, who posted the video online, said he was leaving Cedar Breaks Park along Lake Georgetown with his jet ski. He said he had accidentally went down the wrong exit while leaving and corrected himself.
A park employee was outside and saw what had happened. Hampshire says the woman then started telling him that he was going to call the police and that he couldnt leave.
Hampshire then started filming.

She did something similar to someone else about a year ago based on this video.

Finally caught up with her.
Obvious racist.
I doubt she's mentally unhinged, just weird, power tripping. Both instances she's making accusations that she's being run over. She likely has been harassing park goers for years, getting in front of their cars, yelling at them for stuff she doesn't like. I bet a lot of people have stories about her.

(1,204 posts)She is also known for making racial slurs and I have little doubt she's a racist. However, in the particular video being shown the guy she was calling the cops on was a white dude and there is a video going around saying he was a black man.

(1,204 posts)The group "occupy democrats" put out a video in which it claimed the person was a person of color. Not really sure why they would be so sloppy in their reporting. I can see how there may have been some confusion based on the second video, but that doesn't really excuse the lack of diligence.

Her lies could have gotten him killed and she would have gone on feeling justified in her actions. Just like every one of the other white women lately, who have called the police just because they saw a black person doing something they felt black people shouldn't be doing...like having a picnic, swimming, breathing.
