NEW YORK — A woman who was captured on video hurling a bottle and a racial slur at a Black runner in New York City has been charged with attempted assault as a hate crime and aggravated harassment, authorities said Tuesday.

Lorena Delaguna, 53, was arraigned in Queens criminal court on charges stemming from the Aug. 17 confrontation with Tiffany Johnson. “Crimes like this, which are fueled by hate, are in a special category for a reason,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a written statement. “No one should have to endure being called a vile slur or being attacked simply because of the color of their skin, their religion, or who they love.”

Why would anyone make an excuse for this type of behavior. It is unacceptable. I get that everyone is looking for a competitive edge because life is hard but skin color is not it. Be smarter, work harder, and be ambitious. Stop trying to take the easy way out.

Frizzy haired racist biatch is jealous of that runner because she looks so good.

ginaholt15 Her name is “Karen” and I believe she was recently nominated by a broke-ass racist to be on the Supreme Court.

Good!!! Go To Jail Psycho!!!

Lol the world’s gone soft 🤣

Was it a bottle of Henny? She prob would have liked that.

Good

good, now show all the black people who also assault white people so i know you are not biased. Oh wait, that does not fit your lying prejudices. People are ugly, we know that but you are a whole new breed of despicable for pushing this bullshit without a clear and unbiased view

Where are the charges against the police when this happens Police have to charge and arrest these people BS

I wonder who she's voting for

Bet her family & friends are so proud of her. Shameful.

color doesnt matter..thats just criminal assault. no spin here. if that was my child.. the bottle throwers family would be mourning.

Riot instigators!

BrianFreed1 She’s a much better person than me her ass would have been laid out

Imagine of people greeted their kids family and friends with racial slurs ALL DAY EVERYDAY! That would be disgusting!

We must remove hate!

Probably fed up of blm and all the riots and looters and stealing with no consequences

Time to FIGHT BACK.... Sistas!

Her sentence should be to clean the toilets of all black families in her neighborhood for a year then go to jail for another year.

If it had been a black woman throwing a bottle at a White woman she wouldn’t have been charged with a hate crime

Johnson was not physically hurt (thank goodness), but being intimidated, called names and knowing delaguna meant to hit her with a glass bottle because she is a Black Woman must hurt.

Check Out My Song “Freestyle Professional”

Good.

EXCELLENT

Black protesters do it everyday to police And that’s ok?

Deep down inside don’t you wish she threw that bottle at someone without the grace and composure of this magnificent young lady. Maybe someone with no filter no grace and a whole lot political incorrectness. In essence somone who would have kicked that lady’s ass on the spot

THIS IS WHAT TRUMP SUPPORTERS WANT AMERICA TO BE. WHEN THEY SEE A PERSON OF COLOR JUST BE ABLE TO ATTACK THEM. CALL THEM THE N WORD AND ANY OTHER NAME THEY SEE FIT. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS WANT TO MAGA FOR THEMSELVES. THEY ARE SICK RACIST LIKE TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

That's inexcusable behavior..it is hateful people like this that give us all a bad name

Good!

I hope she gets the maximum allowable penalty for her disgusting behavior.

Yes, glad she was caught damn savage. Lock her up!

Good

Just watch, I bet she is a trump supporter.

Probably a Radical Liberal

..Can you imagine what would have happened if the skin colors were switched?

Double standard through and through.

They won't stop until they get their ass kicked

Then why aren't attacks on white people charged as hate crimes?

A hate crime? That's racist isn't every crime a hate crime and this is not national news worthy

I would’ve beat her ass!! You throw a glass bottle at me It would’ve been over!!

Insert_Metaphor Jesus, just leave us alone when we are minding our business.

The Democrats MUST STOP FUELING RACISM AND HATE. They are creating this

This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue! It’s a human being issue so don’t make it more than that. The Democrats NEED TO STOP FUELING RACE AND HATE

Another example of msnbc trying to divide Americans with some story that shouldnt even be a local story.

She needed to get her tail beat.

Welcome to Cuomo and DeBlasio’s world.

As a white woman I am completely disgusted by this behavior. This woman needs some diversity training when released from jail. The jogger has more integrity in her little finger than the bottle thrower will ever have. SHE DOES NOT REPRESENT WHITE WOMEN!

good.

Glad she is being charge! This hatred between African Americans and whites needs to stop

And this is Trumps America.

We all know who's the destructive force in this country...

cappysue2 She should be arrested and charged.

Happy to see she was charged.

I wonder what was in the bottle she was drinking from before she threw it. Got a feeling it contained alcohol.

So she gets charged wjike hundreds of hates crimes each day occur by antifa?

Are the attacks on whites considered a hate crime? Just wondering. There’s a lot of that going on as well. But I guess that’s not I your ballywick to cover.

Good.

PUT HER IN JAIL!!!..ENOUGH!

This “white” woman is a disgusting example of what “black” people have to endure in the United States. The United States of America! It is time for it to end. realDonaldTrump do you care to comment on this? Do you take responsibility for this “Karen”? Bow your heads and pray.

Living in the USA 🇺🇸 is scary, my god. Racists every corner of the street.

good news. I'm not supporter of blm personally. I def have some more conservative predispositions on issues of day. but this is absolutely totally unacceptable. can not have anywhere ever.

BUT ITS OK FOR BLACKS TO DO THE SAME OR WORSE TO POLICE OFFICERS W T F

One has to wonder what makes certain people behave in this manner. What's more disturbing is that these certain people also deny what's captured in this video as well as many other videos as if the camera was somehow lying.

Welcome to tRump’s Amerikkka.

But..but..what about, CHI-CAAAAAA-GO?!

No one buys the st NBC pushes. We all know the major networks are liberal propagandists. Your credibility is shot. And we really know who the REAL RACISTS are...dont we liberals?

We need to be better, period

Frustrated sick women! Must she held accountable for the idiotic gesture she made!

(Queens DistrictAttorney Melinda Katz) 'Katz said that in addition to using the racial slur, Delaguna, of Woodside, Queens, followed the runner for a block and told her to “go back to Africa.” Copyright News Article.

And the attorney had the audacity to say the victim wasn't physically harmed, as if it shouldn't be a big deal everyone is making it out to be...🙄

Awesome!

What about when it goes the other way

Good! She deserves it!

Amen 🙏

This is the type of America that trump wants, white ppl attacking ppl of color for being ppl of color. SenatorTimScott

Good! I’m glad they found her and she will be held accountable.

There is so much good in the world and so many people who want to do good. There is so much bad in the world and so many people who want to do bad things. But I had not figured it out yet. What is wrong with some people? Why do people have to be the way they are? Why?

Wow, Trump's people are wildy excited and uncontrolled. Is it because they know that they will soon be having a Supreme Court packed full of their own sort - which will be condoning every piece of racial sht they'll be committing.

Uh uh i got this ! White woman hatecrime harassment against black . Yep,preeettyy dangerous that whitewoman 😂😂😂

N8V_Calgarian Name n shame. Western society loves to do that TurtleIslandian

THEN EVERY RIOTER THAT THROWS THINGS AT POLICE OR CARS GOING BY, NEED TO BE CHARGED THE SAME WAY

Good. We want justice.

dwh112655 Good! These people are awful 😔

Omg she’s fine omg so what the runner represents what’s wrong in America woman was only trying to set it right

Now let’s do this for people of all races.

good!

Put her away please. For a long time.

That white girl just hasn’t had some one beat the stupid out of her yet

Deranged liberal I’m sure

Where’s all the charged assaults for those protesters attacking innocent people white? It only applies to white people

now do this one

Hate crime? Okay, now it’s being abused. Shameful that this will be diluted.

Black or White? All are same in front of the Creator. On the Judgement day, God is not going to do a favor to While or Black. Everyone will be judged according to their sins. Even no one knows that God is in which color of skin. But we are all worshipping him. Hence, no racism.

This is realDonaldTrump’s world. This is Not Our Country. Vote realDonaldTrump OUT!

Well good news for her Bloomberg will pay off her fines so she can vote Democrat.

Good!

Good! All who do this should be charged. RacismMustFall LoveONLY

Ok I’m good with that. what about this when black suspects attack white people? Which happens way more.

👏👏👏

Welcome to DonaldTrumpistan.

Trump's America

Trump empowered these low life’s to think that it’s ok to be racist scum. And there are people that actually want to vote for him to remain in office? FFS.

Lock her ass up!!!

Shine a light on all of it. These cockroaches are being exposed more and more every day and I'm here for it. You play racist games...you suffer the consequences.

Another Good Ole Republican Savior...

It's odd how carries every white on black crime they can find nationally, but they never seem to show any black on white crime. Agenda much?

trump mania brings out the worst in people

Lock her up.

Good
