[dropcap size=big]E[/dropcap]agle Rock residents are mobilizing after a video went viral yesterday afternoon that captured a woman’s racist rant at a CVS on Colorado Boulevard and Figueroa Street.
The video shows a woman in the midst of a violent tirade in which she repeats the n-word multiple times. As she walks out of the CVS, she turns around again to express further threatening sentiments, including “I would kill a n***** but the law says I can’t kill the n******. If the law didn’t say that I couldn’t kill the n****** they’d all be dead.” At the end of the video, she gestures to her car and says, “Here is my license plate number.”
The incident happened on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 PM. Highland Park resident Renée Saldaña was shopping in CVS when she began hearing a raised voice from within the store, seemingly unprompted. “It seemed so random and out of nowhere,” Saldaña told L.A. Taco. “At first she sounded like a frustrated parent scolding a child, all I could hear was, ‘That’s enough! I’ve had it up to here with you!’”
