White Lady Lets Jesus Take Wheel, Does Donuts In Road, Hits 2 Cop Cars, No Shots Fired (VIDEO)

If you’ve ever wondered, “What is white privilege,” you need look no further than a nice, white lady who did donuts in the street with her car, endangered numerous lives, rammed two police cars, and ranted about Jesus for a while — and lived.

An unnamed, obviously mentally disturbed white lady became possessed by the spirit of Jesus on Thursday, when she began driving in circles at the intersection of Ozark Avenue and North New Hope Road in Gastonia, North Carolina. As she embarked on her holy crusade against…apparently other vehicles on the road…the woman waved her arm out of the window and screamed incoherently.

According to Gastonia Police Capt. Rodney Aldridge, when an officer arrived on the scene, the officer asked for the woman’s name, which she told him was “Faith, hope, and love.” The officer attempted to calm the woman down, but she backed up and rammed his car with her Jesus-mobile. A witness says the officer had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over by the crazed Christian’s vehicle. The woman rammed the police officer’s car a second and third time before she resumed driving in circles on the road.

The woman proceeded to ram two more civilian cars and another Gastonia patrol vehicle before driving over an embankment and flipping her own. Police and a bystander rushed to pull the woman to safety. According to witnesses, the Jesus-possessed woman was screaming for bystanders to “look up” and to “pray for” her. As she was exiting her vehicle, the woman even sang a bit of Jesus Loves the Little Children,” witnesses say.

I don't think Jebus knows how to drive, really. He's more of a donkey rider. (or ass, if you prefer the King James Version.)

By the way, addictinginfo.com is a very annoying clickbait website. I didn't click your link.

kneels on her back, not shot as soon as she gets out of the car, no choke hold. In fact the cop seemed to treat her rather gently once she was out of the vehicle. Actually, she was treated like she should have been, like all people should be treated who are not posing an immediate threat. The only time lethal force maybe should have been used was when she was ramming cars and doing the circles. Other people could have been seriously injured, there were several school buses.

As you say all people should be treated this way in encounters with cops.

I take issue with the guy yelling for the cop to shoot her.

There were too many people around who might've gotten shot by stray bullets.

I think the loud guy yelling for the cop to shoot her was also the one doing the filming. We missed half of what was going on, especially the plunge and overturn of the car into the ravine. He was so busy yelling that he forgot to aim the camera off of the ground.

I even heard him say, "I got it all."

No you didn't, buddy.

but a big old F for not keeping the camera on the subject. And what is the deal with the fire hydrant? Do they not plumb water to them?

I wouldn't have blamed them if they did, but that was a crowded intersection and it's likely someone would have gotten hit.
