An update on the horrible story of the black woman who was beaten down at a Georgia Cracker Barrel by mullet-sporting trash Troy Dale West. The incident was caught on the restaurant's surveillance video, and it has been turned over to the FBI. Tasha Hill's seven-year-old daughter witnessed this man pummel her mother and now blames herself for what happened to her mother because she's the one who wanted to go to Cracker Barrel.

A police report of the incident said Hill's daughter was "crying uncontrollably and her body shaking/trembling" from witnessing the attack.

Mis-effing-demeanors:

A judge dropped a felony child cruelty charge against Troy D. West Jr. He was released from the Clayton County jail Friday -- two days after being arrested for striking Tashawnea Hill in front of her 7-year-old daughter.

District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson said she may file felony charges against West. We're reviewing the police reports and talking to witnesses to determine whether felony charges should be presented to the grand jury," Lawson said Wednesday.

West, 47, is charged with battery, disorderly conduct and cruelty to children -- all misdemeanors.

Clayton Solicitor General Tasha Mosley, who prosecutes misdemeanor charges, said she sent the case to the district attorney because West should face aggravated assault charges.

By the way West runs Troy's Paint & Body & Auto Salvage in Poulan, GA. You can leave customer reviews.

He better be charged with something besides misdemeanors!

1. If the man did physically strike the woman, it's definitely aggravated assault.

I would expect the FBI to follow what the videotape shows.

[EmilyAnne]

2. He didn't strike her. He BEAT her! nt

3. Hey, why the anti-mullet bigotry?

The guy is certainly scum, but that has nothing to do with his hair.

[ejpoeta]

7. mullets ought to be a crime!! no jk.... well, sort of i guess. lol.

10. Where are the fashion police when we need them?

:sarcasm:

28. When mullets are outlawed, only outlaws will have mullets...

You can take my mullet when you pry it from my cold, dead head.

...and so on.

4. Did my part

left a review for him. It hasn't posted as of 5:56 am ET, but I saw a couple of the other comments. Good job, folks! This guy is a POS.

5. That Poor Child

It will be hard to help her trust whites after this horrible scene. And we wonder why we have problems in our society. I realize how rare and lucky my life has been. When I was 5 I saw my first black man and said to my father, daddy, that was a black man." My father who is now 89 years old and raised in WV replied, "that was just a man." I am so proud of my parents for being color blind, they made my life richer of free of fear.

8. Well said! My parents were the same.

[pipi_k]

23. Mine as well

I don't know how many times I heard my father rant on about racism back in the late 50s - early 60s.

He said it never did make sense to him that, at that time, blacks had to sit in the back of the bus, use different water fountains, etc., but here were white people trying their damnedest to get tans on the beach so that some of them were actually DARKER than the blacks they were so hateful toward.

30. You never really know how a traumatized young child will generalize fears.

She may end up fearing restaurants, white people, men, or even all strangers. Seeing your mother being beaten up is a terrifying experience.

[ejpoeta]

6. so let me get this straight..... the RW radio nuts take an incident of teenagers on a bus

who are black who beat a white kid and use it as some reason to blame obama for i guess having the nerve to think he can be the president so I guess all the black kids are going around beating white kids..... while a white man who beats a woman for having the nerve to tell the guy to watch out so he doesn't hit her daughter with the door (i think that is what happened)... gets no attention from these folks. I can imagine that this kind of bs was common back in the day when black people were routinely intimidated and threatened.... and for that woman and her seven year old daughter to face such treatment TODAY!! they definitely need to throw the book at that guy to send a message that this bullshit is not ok.

[derby378]

9. I smell a hate crime...

...and if he doesn't face hate crime charges, America should be outraged.

[Louisiana1976]

11. Yes!

[Winterblues]

12. I think a Civil suit is also in order

I think he should pay the person he beat for the trauma he caused upon both her and her daughter. He also should suffer a criminal punishment. This is what America is coming to with all this tea bag insanity and it needs to be nipped in the bud as quickly as possible.

[1776Forever]

14. Yes! That is what is going to make him really think about what he did!

Other then that there will be others like those that condone this kind of hatred to continue down that same road! Go for it! It is the $$$$ signs they will see before doing this to anyone else!

:mad:
